Kyoto Railway Museum (京都鉄道博物館) 京都鉄道博物館
The fan-shaped roundhouse is not a museum piece: the turntable still turns.
Kyoto's railway museum, inside Umekōji Park and on the site of the city's former railway depot, twenty minutes' walk from the central exit of Kyoto Station or one train stop away, at Umekōji-Kyōto-Nishi Station on the JR Sagano Line.

For an official collaboration with the series, the museum fitted the ‘Mugen’ plate to the historic JGR Class 8620 steam locomotive, unit 8630, from the same Taishō period as the train in the film ‘Mugen Train’. No one, however, states that this particular engine was the direct inspiration for the design: what is documented is the themed collaboration, not the model.
