What other travelers are saying about Mazda Museum
We visited early November on a Friday, having signed up for the free English tour a few months in advance. Aki, our guide, was organised and spoke decent English. She had a good sense of humour and made us laugh when trying to pronounce "cork" 😂 she happily answered any questions we had between exhibits, too.
It was interesting to see just how large the production site was. You don't really expect it to be a city on it's own! The bus ride was good, except the windows fogged up very fast and it was difficult to see out of them - we had no control over our air vents, which were all switched off, and it got stuffy inside quite fast.
There were a few special cars in the museum, however not really enough to satisfy our inner car nerd... We were hoping to see some more, or be able to hear the 787B running perhaps. That was pretty much the only thing that prevented this from being a 5-star experience ultimately. Although, given the tour was free, there really is nothing to complain about at all. If we didn't already own a brand new CX-5, we probably would've bought one after this experience 😂
Immense yourself with everything Mazda in this museum! You will learn a lot of important information as you weave through the many sections.
Exhibitions are nicely arranged; cleverly utilising the available space to make everything just neat and simple.
Advanced booking is a must via the online system. Enjoy!
Amazing experience to learn about Mazda! Seeing the 787B that won the 1991 LeMans was definitely a highlight. I highly recommend this if you’re visiting Hiroshima. Make sure to book a reservation in advance or else you won’t be able to do the tour! (free entry as well)
There is hope ! As you may know by now you need to book in advance. I tried my luck this morning by phoning and they spoke good English and said you can come this afternoon as there has been a cancellation. Very interesting plant complex and free. English tour only at 215 pm.closed Sunday ,maybe sat not sure
Really enjoyed our visit to the Museum today. We hadn't booked the tour but walked in and were allowed to join the next English tour 50 mins later. But I suggest you book first as we just got lucky. The assembly line alone is well worth the visit, so cool to see!
