MAZDA Museum

Even if you aren’t a car person, you can enjoy this tour…but this is a mandatory trip for motor enthusiasts to see the first Japanese manufacturer to win the 24 hr of Le Man (‘91), the different evolving logos of this car brand, some cool sports cars like the Cosmos & 1st gen Rx-7, and the world’s best selling roadster (MX-5/Miata). Towards the end of the tour, we got to see the assembly of various coloured Mazda’s (CX-30 & MX-5’s) but no photos were allowed during this portion of the tour. The guide explained a lot of detail that was interesting from both a historical and engineering perspective. Must book in advance at the Mazda website as you can’t just walk in u less you just want to just visit the small gift shop where I bought a tiny die-cast model of my current car…so much fun.

Mazda tour was great! It was free of charge, and they drove us from the headquarters to the factory for the tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and I had a great time even though I am not a huge car person. Very interesting and engaging… and lots of cool cars!

Booked online 1 month in advance. Our train was severely delayed and we emailed to inform them. They responded via email that they would let us catch up to the tour group if we arrived within 30mins. Upon arrival, they called the bus to come back to the lobby to take us to the factory. For a free tour, we're very grateful for their accommodation. The whole factory area is huge and includes a bridge and port. The mixed assembly line is impressive. It's worth a visit when in Hiroshima.

Anyone even slightly interested in cars should go. Walks through Mazdas design philosophy, the manufacturing floor for their cars, and lays out their rich history. They also have on display some amazing cars, all in pristine condition. They also have their new concept cars on display, which are very sleek.

A world of machines. Here, you can appreciate technology and the applications of AI. The place is full of innovations, beauty and style. Another wonder is that they have a fully-operated university that trains students for the job market for 2 years. A must-visit when in the STEM field.

We made reservations for this tour about 4 weeks before we arrived in Japan. The tour is free of charge. The tour starts at Mazda Headquarters. You are then put on a bus and driven to the museum. The tour includes a factory portion. We found it very interesting.

I was not in the museum. You have to reserve a spot in the two hour long lecture/showing... I had not the time but I am sure it is great... So nice staff in the lobby (also showcase) and a ☕ (Tully's) furthermore there's a small shop...

Miku was an absolute delight to follow for the tour guide along with well presented information on all Mazda car history, including the LeMan 787B race car winner. Easily making it top 5 highlights of this trip.
