Mazda Museum

If you are an avid fan of automobiles then you must visit the Mazda museum in Hiroshima, which tries to trace the history of Matsuda in the field of automobile production and also displays the racing cars. The tour is a must for any automobile fan, but if you have any serious technical questions, then you should go on the Japanese tour and bring along your own interpreter, as there's less detail on the English tour.

The Mazda Museum is quite popular and that's why you need to make a reservation (up to a year) to visit the Mazda Museum. They offer free tours every weekday at 9:30am and 1:00pm in Japanese, and 1:00pm in English.

Visitors to the museums first come to the Mazda Head Office building and sign in at the front desk. When the tour is scheduled to begin, a Mazda tour guide directs visitors onto a bus to take them to the Museum building. The guide points out and explains the sites during the 10 minute drive through the Mazda facilities.

The Museum offers an overview of Mazda's history, a look into the technology of its automobiles, and the prospects for its future developments. The tour also passes through an actual vehicle assembly line (7km assembly line). Multiple models are on the assembly line, so visitors can see a variety of different cars being made. At the end of the tour there is a shop featuring Mazda goods. The tour takes 90 minutes from start to finish.
