Today we visited the Mazda head office, factory and museum in Hiroshima. The site is huge they make most of their product lines in this facility. Today we see the soon to be released new generation MX5 travelling down the assembly line, it looked pretty cool and a great evolution from the original model.
The whole manufacturing process takes place here with panels and engines made at one end and assembly at the other. The cars come out of the assembly plant and then move straight onto a ship to be sent around the world. The place is so large many of the manufacturing employees even live on site, with several high rise apartment blocks located in the grounds.
The museum was pretty cool they traced the history of the company with some beautifully restored vehicles. There was a small engineering and design display and a bit of fun for kids.
