The Yokose Rail Yard, located within Yokose Station on the Seibu Chichibu Line, offers a glimpse into the history of Seibu Railway. While not typically open to the public, it hosts the Seibu Train Festival once a year, showcasing preserved vintage locomotives and train cars. During the festival, visitors can explore these historic vehicles and purchase railway-related merchandise. Note that the storage building was damaged in 2014 and has since been removed, with the vehicles currently stored outdoors under covers. Check the Seibu Railway website for event announcements, usually around autumn. It's a must-visit for railway enthusiasts and those interested in the heritage of Seibu Railway.
