Shinjuku Prince Hotel Railway Expo 2025

An exciting event for train enthusiasts and families alike is set to take place at the Shinjuku Prince Hotel from August 15 to 17, 2025. Hosted by Seibu Media Communications in collaboration with the Shinjuku Prince Hotel, the Railway Expo promises a fun-filled experience centered around the world of trains. This event will be held at the Prince Hall of the Shinjuku Prince Hotel, offering an engaging mix of educational and entertaining activities for all ages.

A Fusion of Learning and Fun

The event features various exhibits including essential safety equipment such as railroad warning signals and other systems critical for train operations. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to engage in a train operation simulation using state-of-the-art equipment. This hands-on experience not only captivates train enthusiasts but also provides a fantastic learning opportunity for families.

Children can participate in fun activities such as dressing up in Seibu Railway uniforms for a memorable photo session. There will be a mini train experience, giving children the chance to ride on adorable miniature trains. The use of a “pick-up tool” to collect candies, mirroring the action of retrieving lost items from the tracks, adds an element of adventure. Furthermore, visitors can learn about railway safety features by interacting with real-life equipment.

A special feature of the event is the Retro Ticket Stamping Experience, where attendees can use antique ticket stamping tools—an experience reserved for advance ticket holders and Seibu Prince Club members.

Held indoors at the conveniently located Shinjuku Prince Hotel, the Railway Expo eliminates concerns about summer heat or inclement weather.
