I went there 3 times. Got to know about history of Suzuki which started from handlooms and then to bicycle, bike and cars.The journey of car making from concept to reality was well displayed.3D show was awesome.Souvenir car was small scale model of XBee.Indian stall was best.

Very interesting place. This museum represents the era of Suzuki and various car assembling process. It has lots of information at every area with AV too. There are language options . The museum opposite is where Suzuki HQ is located, you can get a view of it . This place is must visit for automobile enthusiasts .

Well worth a visit. Very well put together and interesting. The 3d theatre wasnt running for us but enjoyed everything else. Free but requires a reservation. Free parking.

Great museum with free admission. I had no particular interest in Suzuki or its history before coming here, but the museum was very interesting!

Great collection of suzuki product, many interactive information, games and the history of hamamatsu.

Beautiful and very tastefully designed. Also, it displays the knowledge about building cars in a nice manner.

Awsome

Best place, all suzuki varian in one place

Outstanding museum with a lot of history and great machinery. Learnt a lot about the workings of production lines for cars and the Suzuki family

Located across Suzuki factory, this non-descript museum has a small historical showcasing the beginnings of the founders and some of their past notable creations and a replica of their factory production floors.While it is free to visit with free parking onsite as well, there is really nothing much to see. There is no emphasis on Suzuki motorsports rich history, mostly alot of old bikes and old cars from across the generations and a few weird concept cars here and there.Unless you have absolutely nothing to do and have spare time, otherwise you can safely skip this one. Really nothing much to see or do.

Wonderful museum. Lots of excellent exhibits going back to the start as a maker of looms.

Very beautiful , i like the staff and very informative museum 👌

Automobile lovers can enjoy a lot.

Worth going to if youre in Hamamatsu and like mechanical things. Toyota techno museum is better though...

Fun!

A lot of history. Lot of educational things

More racing motorcycles from 1960s please.

Excellent, interesting and informative.

For being free admission, good if you like a bit of history on a Japanese entrepreneur. Especially after World war 2.

Amazing museum of suzuky history from the origin to today. Lot of motor bikes and car through the manufactoring process. Yuo have to visit it!

Give this place a (free!visit if youre a fan of Suzuki or simply curious about the history of a company that started off making fabric making looms and ended up with cars, motorcycles as well as marine products. Take note: The historical loom works and only "comes to life" on Tuesdays and Wednesdays!If youre coming by car/bike, make use of the onsite open air parking area right next to the museum. Else, this place is also easy accessible via train or bus.

Good for auto and bike mania.

Iconic place

Highly recommended to visit this place if you are in Hamamatsu city! It is located only 10 minutes on foot from the station. You can learn how the automobiles are made in Suzuki factory.
