ABOUT THE TOUR

Is it okay for me to tour the museum on my own? I do not require a tour guide.

See the Mazda Museum website for details.

Is it possible for me to leave before the tour finishes?

A Mazda Museum shuttle bus that operates on the premises takes visitors to and from the museum.
For security reasons, we ask visitors not to leave while the tour is in progress.

The museum consists of 10 exhibit themes which are arranged in sequence from Zone 1 to Zone 10.
Visitors can learn about Mazda’s history from its founding to the present as well as Mazda’s aspirations for the next 100 years.
In addition to seeing models and engines of Mazda cars on display, visitors can watch cars being assembled before their very eyes, so we hope everyone who comes to visit will be able to feel firsthand what we mean by Mazda’s “monotsukuri spirit.”
