Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology
The Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology is located in Nishi Ward, Nagoya City, and is considered the birthplace of the Toyota Group. It features numerous exhibits that convey a sense of history spanning over a century, including the circular loom and steam engines developed by founder Kiichiro Toyoda's father, Sakichi Toyoda.
The museum is divided into two sections: the "Textile Machinery Pavilion" and the "Automotive Pavilion," each with its own unique appeal. In the "Textile Machinery Pavilion," demonstrations are conducted using actual machines from the Taisho era, which are housed in a historic factory building. Here, visitors can gain a deep understanding of the role the textile industry played in Japan's modernization.
On the other hand, the "Automotive Pavilion" showcases many vehicles and the manufacturing process in a spacious exhibition area. Visitors can witness Toyota's advanced automotive technology through demonstrations by real machines and operators. The display of new automotive technologies known as CASE (Connected, Autonomous, Shared, Electric) is particularly notable and should not be missed.
The museum also features a "TechnoLand" for children, a library, and a restaurant, providing a full day of enjoyable activities. As it approaches its 30th anniversary in 2024, the museum is embracing a new mission as a “Learning Center for looking towards the future from the history of manufacturing,” aiming to contribute to building a sustainable society.
In this way, the Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology is a place where history, technology, and the future intersect, offering a multidimensional learning experience and inspiration to all visitors.
