Mazdas247 Mazda Museum Tour 2022

I finally had a chance to visit Mazda in Hiroshima, Japan again after many years and it was great to be back! While some aspects of the tour have changed, a lot remains as I remember it back in 2009. A major bonus was being able to spend more time in the factory observing real time manufacturing of the CX-5, CX-30 and Roadster. I was keeping my eyes wide open for any sign of the CX-60 or other future models but alas none were spotted. Another very cool part of the tour is simply riding the MAZDA bus from HQ to the actual museum/assembly plant which requires driving through a lot of the Mazda manufacturing complex (see below for aerial photo). It is quite an impressive experience to be within the heart of Mazda and seeing all that goes into creating these fantastic vehicles.

Now on with the pics!

Pretty cool to see Mazda's port from the hotel room...

Well that's all, thanks for taking a look...Until next time! 😁
 
Great pics, I went myself last month. They had the CX-60 on display when I went, it looked great.
Thanks! Yeah, I was expecting to see it but nothing, no mention or hint of it anywhere which was surprising as release was imminent. Glad to hear you got to see it there and congrats once again on being an owner soon! (y)
 
This was beautiful.

Early Kodo design = best Kodo design. ;):p

I know I've seen this concept car before, but I can't remember what it is, the one you described as "The Pièce de résistance".
 
I’d love to see the museum in person, but these pictures got me as close as I might ever get! Thanks Antoine!
 
That's so awesome. Thanks Antoine. Awesome pics. And you probably get to write off much of that trip. Most excellent. 👍
