Mazda Car Museum Hiroshima Japan | TransportMuseums.com

Mazda started it’s production here in Hiroshima in 1920 under the name Toyo Cork Kogyo Co. In 1931 they started manufacturing the 3-wheel trucks called Mazda-go, and the first passenger vehicle was the R360 Coupé in 1960. They are also pioneers when it comes to rotary engines (Wankel engines) and they have used it in many of their cars, and the first was the Cosmos Sport (110S) which you can see in the image gallery below. The plant now produces 4 models on the same assembly line which is quite unique. During the tour of the museum you get to see (but not photograph) the line where for instance the windshield is glued to the car. When we watched the robot doing the job it first handled a small window for a Miata, then a big front window for a CX-8, and then a Miata again. Really cool. Also see Our listing of the museum to prepare for your own visit to this great museum. The start of the tour is at the Head office Showroom. I also took some images there after the museum tour. You can see them below the images from the museum. Below you can see images of the following cars and 3-wheel trucks from the museum.
