After passing through the entrance shared with the “Fuji Speedway Hotel,” the reception desk is on the left. A “Toyota 7” welcomes you in front of the reception desk.

After entering the first floor entrance, the left side is lined with machines from the early days of racing, while the right side is lined with machines from around the world that have become more advanced in preparation for racing. Moving to the back of the room, you can see Japanese domestic racing cars. The photos shown here are mainly of the front of the cars, but the cars are displayed in such a way that they can be viewed from all directions, and visitors can get up close and personal to see every detail. Please take your time and take a look.
As you take the elevator up to the second floor, you can see the evolution of rally and endurance racing, as well as machines forged from production cars. From recent years to the future, motorsports technology has moved into the era of production cars, and racing has been subdivided into a stage for competing not only in speed but also in durability and reliability.
