An automobile manufacturer MAZDA has headquarer office in Hiroshima.
They offer Museum and factory tours on weekdays(Mon.-Fri.).
Recently I joined their tours!
They hold English tours from 10:00-
Duration approximately 1.5 hours
You can learn and see their history like rotary engines, former car lineups, and actual production lines.
You will take a bus to go to the museum after showing up the entrance at the headquarter office. You can not take pictures on the way to the museum since you are moving in the Mazda property. I was surprised that the long bridge we went across is owned by Mazda. It was explained that it is one of the longest bridges owned by private company.
Of course almost all cars we passed over on the way were Mazda cars.
I saw Axela,Demio,RX-8, Roadster, etc. that could actually get in at the lobby of the museun.
And we took guided tours about an hour and saw production lines.
I was reassured that one of our key industries is engineering to join this tour.
Mazda is renovating their technology with "SKIACTIV" or new clean diesel engines against rising Yen and hybrid automobile share.
You should join this tour if you have interested in Mazda!
