This is where Toyota was started by Sakichi Toyoda as a Spinning and Weaving Company. The company’s studious, challenging, kaizen (striving for improvement), and creative spirit led the country to a big “manufacturing” nation and this world-famous company means a lot to locals in Nagoya region.
This is the museum where you can see the history as well as the latest technology of railways. You will be impressed not only by the number of successive trains, but also by the passion of technical experts that made our country famous for accurate and high speed Shinkansen (bullet train). Finally, you will learn how MAGLEV (magnetic train) will be operated that will start running between Tokyo and Nagoya soon in 2027.

TAKA was in our meeting place when we arrived and she quickly set off to start our tour of Toyota Commemorative Museum and the SCMAGLEV Railway Park. Apparently, there are 2 Toyota Museums and we went to the one which I wasn't keen on visiting. However, it was an interesting place too. The SMCAGLEV Park was a fantastic tour and the simulator ride was the highlight of our visit. Definitely recommend this tour with TAKA!
