Opened on 14 March 2011 by JR Central, it displays 39 real vehicles, three of them holders of world speed records in their category. The experimental maglev MLX01-1, now standing in the main hall, together with two other cars formed the train that reached 581 km/h on the Yamanashi test line on 2 December 2003, a record that stood for eleven years, until 2015.
