Crew training simulator for one-person operations
East Japan Railway Company

Among the training simulators for driver and conductors introduced in all of East Japan Railway's crew offices, this simulator has additional functionalities added for the training in areas that implement one-person operations. While maintaining the usual high-definition front view footage, it also includes a reproduction of the platform camera monitors installed near the driver. With emergency situations tailored for each type, it supports training for car frame camera malfunctions, disconnection from the platform doors and so on, and reproduces faithfully the conditions for the visualization of the platform monitor, like the train speed and position. Furthermore, for the lines that have shorter train configurations compared to the platform length, using techniques that combine platform monitor images in high resolution full CG that synchronize with the front video footage, it can reproduce the view independently from where along the platform the train stopped. As of November of 2025, introduced in 17 crew offices.
Driver and conductor training simulator
East Japan Railway Company
A crew training simulator that supports both solo and driver-conductor tandem training. The footage of the tracks at the front, sides and back of the train are all synchronized, with the ITV screens, platform stop markers as well as the station environment also reproduced. In the simulator for conductor training, the high-definition side view and ITV are video footage on the local lines and full CG for the Shinkansen lines. Nevertheless, both are still completely in-sync with the driver's view. For this simulator, we have recreated all of the East Japan Railway's lines and all the major safety equipment, train models and line sections on a crew office basis taking into account its jurisdiction and lines covered. Furthermore, a wide array of emergency situations, earthquakes, weather phenomena and so on can be triggered from the instructor desk at any time. This simulator was introduced to a ll the East Japan Railway crew offices by the end of 2019.
Driver and conductor crew training simulator (ATS-DK)
Kyushu Railway Company
A compact simulator that allows for both independent and driver-conductor tandem training. The high-definition footage of the tracks at the front, sides and back are all synchronized, while the instructor's desk has been compacted to just a laptop. It simulates the ATS-DK signaling safety system in minute detail, including any malfunctions with their respective error codes and recovery procedures. The simulator also has a wide variety of added functionality, such as emergencies, one-person operation, changing ends for reversing and so on. This simulator was introduced to all crew offices of the Kyushu Railway Company by the end of 2019.

JR East Train Simulator
Released on the PC gaming platform “Steam”, JR East Train Simulator is developed in collaboration with East Japan Railway (hereon “JRE”) and targeted to the general public. Based on the professional simulators currently in use for JRE crew training, the simulator reproduces the visuals and behavior of the driver's console faithfully while also adding other details such as the driver's point-and-call voicelines as well as both conductor and automatic in-car announcements. By purchasing the basic pack and additional downloadable content (DLC), it is possible to experience driving a wide variety of lines, from both JRE as well as other railways.

High-Quality 3D simulator (in-development)

We are currently refining a technology that uses methods such as 3D scanning and video recording to create a high-quality 3D recreation of the environment around the tracks. This technology allows for major changes to the environment in real time (such as due to the time of day or weather) as well as significantly improving the freedom of the simulation.

D51 Simulator
East Japan Railway Culture Foundation - The Railway Museum
Client:Total Media Development Institute Co., LTD
Reproducing the operation of a wide range of equipment only found in an SL train locomotive, this is the first ever full-fledged steam locomotive simulator in Japan. It covers the Kamaishi Line between Hanamaki and Iwate-Kamigo stations. The simulator can be operated by two people at once (a driver and a fireman) and features two 150-inch screens. The distinctive driving mechanisms as well as the simulator's motion system that reproduces the oscillation typical of a steam locomotive, offer a realistic train simulation experience unlike any other.
E5 Simulator
East Japan Railway Culture Foundation - The Railway Museum
Client:Total Media Development Institute Co., LTD
Using footage shot in 4K, it allows customers to experience driving three different line sections on the Tohoku Shinkansen E5 series at 320 km/h. The driver's console includes authentic parts and the DS-ATC safety signaling system as well as the behavior of all the equipment have been faithfully reproduced.
Seibu line driving simulator
SEIBU RAILWAY Co.,Ltd.

A simulator commissioned to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Limited Express “Laview”. The simulator was designed to be easily moved to and from event venues and specialty hotel rooms, with it being comprised of a main screen showing the driver's view and a secondary screen showing the dashboard that shows train information like on the real rolling stock. The simulator allows customers to enjoy driving the 001 Series “Laview” and the 40000 series on the section between Ikebukuro and Seibu-Chichibu.
8000 series simulator
Keihan Electric Railway Co., Ltd.
This simulator, delivered to KUZUHA Mall SANZEN-HIROBA in Osaka, uses a mock-up model of a Keihan 8000 series cab. The driver's console utilizes the same parts as the 8000 series train, allowing for a realistic driving experience. The dashboard is shown on an LCD monitor, saving space. This simulator is set up as a coin-operated machine.


We designed these automated platform doors with ease of transport and low installation costs in mind. With our novel idea of using alternating pipe paneling, we were able to make the doors lightweight. The reinforced metal pipes are positioned so that when the door opens, they slide by each other and disappear into the panel, greatly reducing the size of the equipment needed. Furthermore, the pipes are made with reinforced materials and designed with customers with impairments in mind; unlike other systems, touching or leaning on the bars won't cause issues. After a trial period in 2018, these platform doors were introduced to all stations on the Chikuhi Line by Kyushu Railway Company. Since then, the doors have also been introduced in the Kanto region by Seibu Railways (Kokubunji Station platform 7, Tamako Line) and Keikyu Corporation (Shioiri Station, Keikyu Main Line).


As our company name implies (“Ongaku” means “music” in Japanese), our business is also closely tied to music production. Our CEO Mukaiya Minoru, a famous keyboardist, has a wide array of music related activities, including the production of train departure and arrival melodies, that unites his musical prowess to the railway industry.
Furthermore, we work closely with railway companies and support the changes that surround the railway industry, while endeavoring to improve railway technology and safety.
~The force supporting railway safety around the world~
We will continue to improve every day to support each and every railway passenger’s “safety and security”.
We are warmly waiting for your visit at our booth.
