Japanese N scale layout directory

Recommended Posts

I was on another social media site and we were discussing the Kato store and their layout. The person assumed that there weren't any other places that had layouts to run your trains at. I didn't want to give out any false information on this but I know there are other places to run trains, Is there a directory of layouts where someone can run their trains.

There are literally hundreds of rental layouts in Japan, often in model train stores.  Many appear to be works in progress with track only.

 

A couple of lists:

Models Imon lists their rental layouts.

Popondetta Akihabara and Osaka have pretty nice layouts for renting time to run trains.  They are fully scenicked.  Models Imon in Shibuya has one but it's pretty sparse and HO.  It was just tracks when I visited.  TamTam in Kobe has a big one but it looks like a work in progress in terms of scenery (they had some) but you can fully run N-scale trains on it.

Doesn't all Popondetta stores have a rental layout? Atleast everyone I have checked out has.
