At the same time, we will not forget to respect the origins of our museum. This includes the entire museum releasing the message that ātechnological innovations and development of industries will build our future, with the museum serving as a place of learning about the history of making things(āmonozukuriā) and then aiming for our future goal of playing our part in developing a sustainable society. Even though this is a grand mission, we believe it is one that we must fulfil, as a museum in the birthplace of the Toyota Group.

"Shikemichi" means an about 7 meter-wide street, and the name is derived from the fact that the street's width was expanded for fire protection and for the commercial activities after an inferno occurred in 1700. Storehouses are built on the stone walls and traditional townhouses stand in a row. The landscape as we know it today was completed in the Genbun era (around 1740). It was designated as a townscape preservation area of Nagoya in 1986.

Excellent Tour - Very Professional
Published on Nov, 2024
Sammy was an excellent guide, she was on time. Explained very well the tour details. She was also care about the safety of the group. We were 8 in the group, we took the train, we walk, we took bus. It was an excellent experience. We were on time at the cruise.
Thanks a lot, Sammy San.
Very Informative, Fun, and Interactive
Published on Nov, 2024
We enjoyed the tour a lot! It was helpful to have someone who spoke the language and Matt taught us a lot about the history and culture. We loved learning about and performing the processes of purification, praying, etc. 10/10 would recommend. My group of 3 also appreciated that we did not have to be a in a tour group of like 20 and it was more personal. As a tourist in a foreign country, I felt like many of the other tourists did not know what they were doing and just wanted to take pictures. We however got to learn the meaning/history behind things and how to correctly respect another culture.
PS, also wanted to say it was helpful to have someone translate the luck fortunes because when I Google translated it, some of it made no sense! lol
