# Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology

The museum keeps the red-brick buildings of the loom test factory Sakichi Toyoda founded in 1911, now listed as modern industrial heritage. Exhibits fall into three halls: textile machinery, automobiles and Technoland. Machines are shown working, run by operators or started with a button, with video explaining each step. A circular loom turns in the lobby as the symbol of the founding idea. A free audio guide app covers eight languages, and operators give free tours in English. About 461,000 people visited in 2025.
