Brick Age

An amazing museum full of history and innovation. For a non-japanese speaking traveler it might be difficult to follow the chronological path so hiring an english speaking guide is highly recommended. Fascinating the contrast between the old architecture on the outside and the modern use of internal spaces.

Really big and informative. Spent the entire day there and still felt the need to go back again another day. There are a lot of displays that show the inner workings of a car which I found very interesting. A lot of the displays are interactive as well.

I was very impressed by this museum. As another person who wrote a review said, this museum is about Toyota Corporation and their contributions to engineering innovation. If you're going to the museum only interested in cars, you're going to be missing some of the most interesting parts of Toyotas history. In my opinion, it's a must see attraction for anyone visiting Japan. If you're intellectually curious, be sure to plan for a few hours. It's pretty easy to get drawn into the demonstrations (and there are many). One of the best museums I've visited. Thank you Toyota!

Totally awesome museum. Lots of textile equipment, lots of manufacturing equipment, old stuff new stuff, robots ECT... Well worth the trip.

What a fantastic museum! I didn't know that Toyota originally started in the textile business, so one half of the museum focuses on that. The other half is on their automobile dept. Both had staff demonstrating equipment and everyone was really friendly. There's plenty to see here, so make time for at least 2 hours to he safe. Very interactive too!!

If you want to see lots and lots of cars: this is not it.It's a rather well made and we'll documented history of Toyota with an emphasis on the engineering and industrial development.Lots of big sowing machines to illustrate the first part of their history. Lots of big metal press and robot arms to assemble cars.But not a lot of cars... Which is what everybody kind of wants to see no?

Fantastic museum. Very interactive. Many functional machines.

Most awesome museum I've been to (even though I'm not a big automobile fan). It's so informative and fun. Lots of hands on experience (at Techno land) and many demonstrations too. Half of the machineries can be operated by visitors and the staffs are very friendly. Highly recommend!

Great museum. Amazing work. A must see if you visit Nagoya.

It is definitely a good place to hang out especially for kids and adults who's deep interest is in manufacturing process . Also, this museum lets you know more about the history of Toyota in the automotive industry and see more of their proudly-made products.A very well spent day here indeed folks!!!👍

Very big museum. It has two main parts: The first part is about the textile industry (where Toyota started). The second part is all about cars and car manufacturing.The museum is very interactive. You will spend hours there playing with the big machinery.

It shows the whole history of Toyota, the iconic Japanese machinery brand. Specially for someone who loves car, good for family visit.

Amazing museum. You can see the evolution of technology right before your eyes. English tours and demonstrations are available!

Great museum to learn about the history of Toyota's origins as a textile company, and a little bit of history of Japan's industrialization as well. Very much accessible even to non-Japanese speakers. You also get to learn more about the history of textiles and watch machines actually at work right in front of you.

Very informative place to spend a day here for your whole family. Kids can make their own toy cars here, or play in the Creative Workshop. Heaps of fun.

If you are in the automotive or manufacturing industry, this will be the best museum you've ever visited. Easy to attend in English and amazing display; I left feeling inspired.The staff is amazing and genuinely dedicated to their work. I suggest allowing yourself 4-5 hours for the visit, no less. They have a restaurant and snack bar, so add an extra hour if you want to eat.

Probably the best museum I’ve been to so far. This place thoroughly demonstrate how Toyota was founded and expended its paths to various industries. Also it displays a very complete production line to let you know how their products are made, most importantly the tickets only takes ¥500!!!The exhibits are in both Japanese and English. There’re guides in different areas only speaks in Japanese, yet they’re very friendly.

Your kids and the kid inside you will like it. Has many interactive activities and few great cars. Also all you can expect from Toyota's history and about the place itself. Spent there 3 hours and family enjoyed.

Good museum to spend 3-4 hrs. Detail of Textile industry evolution is displayed very good way

I feel this is one of a well-organized and worthy to visit museums in Japan. If you like history, you will learn about how Sakichi Toyoda (The founder of Toyoda) started a looming business and eventually how the family expanded the business to cover automative business as well. Plenty of demonstrations! Entrance fee ¥500 as of writing.

Very knowledgeable place to learn about Toyota's history and car development as an engineer working in the auto industry. And they have several tours a day in Japanese or English and a small park for kids. Nice place to visit if you're interested in Toyota.

The history of the world’s leading automaker started here in Nagoya. You can learn about this incredible automaker from its humble beginning until it has grown and expanded its market reach across the globe plus its vision for the advanced automobile and vehicle concept of the future. Please plan to spend at least a few hours here. It’s really time well spent.

The Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology, otherwise referred to as the Toyota Tecno Museum, is a proud monument to the company, it’s founder and technological progress as a whole. The vast complex details the companies journey from a small-time manufacturer of weaving machines to it’s contemporary position as an automobile industry monolith. Non car-lovers needn’t worry, the information on offer is broad in scope, situating the history of the company within a wider history of Japan’s development as a nation. The museum culminates in a great hall showcasing the many products of Toyota, the part of the museum most geared toward the car mega-fans but entertaining to everyone else nonetheless.

Best museum I have ever visited. How Toyota started, textile pavilion was amazing. Staff explained how the machines work. There are a lot of activities and fun things for kids. Kids can make their own toy car. Robots, first cars, history of Toyota...

Great museum. I would recommend it for those who are interested in history of Toyota manufacturing

Wonderful place to spend close to two hours. With demonstrations of how textile machines work, to how the cars are being assembled. Within walking distance to Nagoya station. Definitely must visit if you are nearby

It was more than expected. Place is well organized. There are guides each place and explain you well. For adults, it’s interesting to visit but for kids, it might be boring. Most of guides speak English or other languages. After visiting the museum, you will understand why Toyota became world famous company.

Good! But lacks cars. If you are interested in cars, it better you visit the Toyota Kaimai Museum

This is absolutely the best museum I have ever visited. The live displays and functional machines were so fascinating and enjoyable! Probably the best part of my visit to Japan.

This museum is one of the best I have ever visited. It was highly informative, engaging, well constructed and just the right size/length. It was fascinating seeing all the live demonstrations - a standout was when they demonstrated the casting of an aluminium model engine, and the pressing of crank shafts and pistons.I would highly recommend this museum to families and older travellers alike. It is superb.

There are many texttile machine,car making machine,antique car and so on so it is suitable to those people who are interest with it.I like the style of the museum so much,it was so simple and stylish.Other than that there is also a place for children to play some game it is meaningful and really can let the children to learn some new knowledge.Lastly ,I'm happy to learn the history of Toyoda,I think he is a great person👍🏻👍🏻I will hope to visit another museum in japan because i know that Japan tourism never let us down!

Very nice museum that tells the story of Toyota. Not much cars! Keep that in mind. Still very tidy, a lot of good explanation about the looms Toyota built and the car technology. Don't go here if you only want to see cars. Do go here if you're interested in technology.

Interesting place to see the history of Toyota in textiles and automotive. While out of context, the violin performance of the robot assistant is a highlight.

You'll see what Toyota was before it's cars. You'll also see a glimpse on how they produce their vehicles. There is also a small showroom of their vehicles. It would be amazing if they had a showroom of all the vehicles they have ever made.

Worth a visit if you are interested to know how a car is manufactured and the history of modern car development.

Impressive museum with interactive guides with very good English speaking skill. Really worth your time. Don't miss this when you visit Nagoya city. I am actually amazed that Toyota started as a textile machine company. The machines displayed in the museum are really fantastic and they are operational. They (the staff) will show you how the machines operates and produce fabrics. The presentations in the chart, timeline, and videos are perfect for those who do educational tour.In the automobile section, the process of manufacturing cars are displayed and you just push the button and the machine like robots will show you how they produce cars. This is the section I enjoyed the most.There is also creative workshop perfect for kids. But this is available only during weekends.The best museum I have ever visited so far!

Half of the museum showcased Toyota in textile technology mostly in their early ages and half of their vehicle production machinery.

The displays showing everything from the Toyoda cotton manufacturing to moving into car manufacturing as Toyota in the 1930s are first class. Plenty of staff around to show what things do.Working cotton looms and robots building cars are on show.

Very interesting places.... can see the story of Toyota... learn from the past..respect current and prepare for the future

Really cool museum. Totally worth the entry. There is also a huge section dedicated to textiles which I didn't expect, and it was super interesting

Such a great place to visit. They have a restaurant you can eat lunch at before touring the museums. There's a kids discover museum-like area where you have to buy tickets and get in line for an hour of play time. My kids enjoyed the jungle gym, the air tunnel and many other things to discover. Once this was done we toured the car museum, so much fun things to discover, my favorite part was being able to see how the gears changes on a stick shift. At the end if this part of the museum the kids can make souvenirs for free. Pretty cool. We didn't have much time to discover the other half of the museum which was the cotton/cloth innovations Toyota is apparently known for. It was quieter in this side, but a good and relaxing way to end the museum tour.

Amazing Museum documenting the evolution of the Toyota empire. I learned a lot about weaving and forging, and the kids had a lot of fun at the play area. Good for a half-day of exploration and not too far from Nagoya Station.

Great museum for fabric and automotive. A lot of live demonstration and spending close to 3 hours here without looking at the description as all on Japanese. You can get the audio guide but I have to rush for another place.

If you are more interested in the automotive aspect, skip thru to the later part of the exhibit. Don't linger on the earlier exhibits, looms and textiles part of the museum

This is a great museum. 500yen for access to textile and auto as well as kid's technoland. See original still working machinery with live demonstration if looms, forge presses and assembly robots. Several rare Toyota car models.

Great if you are interested in engineering, cars, looms, or learning in general. English tours are given at regular intervals, I would recommend taking them if you are interested in the history of Toyota. In my opinion, the area dedicated to vehicles was more interesting than the one for looms, but to each their own. There is also an interactive room where kids or adults can learn about cars or aerodynamics, or just have a fun time.

This museum is really nice,it has so many information of toyota.It also has some information about fabric and staffs.This museum also show us some toyota and lexus car.It has the lexus lfa and lexus sc430 in it.This museum also have games for kids and also a canteen.You should try to visit this museum when you are in Nagoya.

Very educational and interactive. A great museum for adults and children alike. The staff has clearly worked hard to keep this museum up to very high standards

Nice museum showing the origins of Toyota and how it made the leap from waving machines to car production. most descriptive texts are available in english. Lots of items in the museum are working and the staff is very happy to explain and demonstrate them. Entry is 500 Yen.

I wouldn't call myself a car enthusiast. I might notice a nice car when I see one. Even drive a Carolla myself. But this museum was seriously worth it! Encompasses the start of Toyota in textiles, into cars, and different types of innovations like robots. Some awesome interactive exhibits, beautiful retro and modern cars on display, and a robot that will play the violin!
