It is also worth mentioning that almost all of the vehicles are displayed in drivable condition. Free guided tours are offered twice a day at "The Automobile Gallery" and once at "The Automobile Culture Showroom," and visitors can participate in these tours to deepen their understanding.
"Automobile Culture Showroom" in the Cultural Gallery, about 4,000 cultural materials related to cars, such as posters, car toys, and car mascots, are on display. The exhibition of about 800 miniature cars is particularly impressive and makes you forget the passage of time.
