Since launching the YA-1 which was well-known for its nickname Akatonbo (red dragonfly) in Feb 1955, while it was still a part of Yamaha Corporation, Yamaha Motors has been developing and selling various products such as general engines, marine engines and generators in addition to auto bikes. In July of the same year, it was launched as Yamaha Motors and now it is one of Japan's leading companies active in many countries around the world.
Yamaha Communication Plaza has become a space for explaining the past, present and future of Yamaha Corporation. Take a look at some of the epoch-making products and imagine what the future has in store at Yamaha Motors with its corporate philosophy of "Providing new inspiration and prosperity to people around the world".

Once entering the museum, visitors will immediately see the "Symbol Zone," where motorcycles and other products representing Yamaha Motor's past and present are displayed. Among these is the eye-catching Toyota 2000GT painted in a glittering gold. This is a genuine sports car that was jointly developed by Yamaha Motors and Toyota Motor Corporation in 1967.

You can also look at the various products sorted into their own individual zones. There are even simulation corners where you can experience realistically how to operate motorcycles or boats in several places.
The planned corner that is regularly on display is also a highlight.

The second floor introduces the history of Yamaha Motor, its symbolic products and technologies since its founding, and its racing activities. Visitors can explore the wide range of Yamaha Motor's technical expertise, including racing cars, wheelchairs, cruisers, and four-wheel buggies. The collection on display is preserved in an operational state.

In the Plaza Lounge, visitors can browse past product catalogs, publications, historical videos, etc. using the touch panel controls. It is also a rest area where visitors can charge their cell phones.

After enjoying the world of Yamaha Motor on the 1st and 2nd floors, why not take a break and enjoy the conversation? Beverage vending machines are available in the cafe space, which has a nice view

Yamaha Communication Plaza also offers a wide selection of souvenirs. The shop on the first floor sells Yamaha original goods and other souvenirs to commemorate your visit.
