Insider Tip

Don't miss the "Green Panel" Type-GB in Zone 1, a symbol of post-war recovery, and the legendary 787B Le Mans winner in Zone 4, displayed in an authentic pit garage setup. While the museum tour is fascinating, the true gem for enthusiasts is observing the active vehicle assembly line, offering a unique glimpse into modern automotive manufacturing. For those with mobility needs, inquire about the "not entirely barrier-free" sections beforehand.

JEMS Tip

JEMS streamlines the critical reservation process, especially for the single daily English tour, which books up quickly. We ensure your booking is secured exactly three months in advance on the opening day, handle pre-visit confirmations, and coordinate your arrival at the Mazda Head Office lobby 15 minutes prior to departure for the shuttle bus, ensuring a seamless start to your exclusive experience.

About

Located at Mazda's Hiroshima headquarters, the Mazda Museum offers an immersive journey through over 100 years of the company's challenging spirit and automotive innovation. Visitors can explore various zones showcasing iconic vehicles, groundbreaking technologies, and award-winning designs, culminating in a rare opportunity to observe an active vehicle assembly line.

Crowd Avoidance

Crowds within the museum are managed by the reservation-only system, limiting individual tour group sizes to 45 for English tours. The primary challenge is securing a reservation, particularly for the single daily English slot. To guarantee your visit, JEMS advises booking precisely three months in advance, immediately upon availability, avoiding company holidays (e.g., late April/early May, mid-August, late December/early January) and any temporary closures.

Getting There

From Hiroshima Station, take a local train on the JR Sanyo Main Line for approximately 5 minutes (¥190) to Mukainada Station. The Mazda Head Office, where tours begin, is a short 5-minute walk from Mukainada Station.
