Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This place is full of vintage cars & it is such a visual treat! Vintage Japanese & European cars. The complex is 3 storeys high with mezzanine on 1st & 2nd floor. If you are a car enthusiast, this is the place to go for an hour or 2.

There is enough to interest even those of us (at the risk of being non-PC that is mostly the female population!) who are not car nuts. This is a beautiful building and a fabulous array of the world's cars over the past 100 years. Some makers cars were grouped so that you could see the evolution of the models.
The toilets are worth a visit too! Nice cafe where we had lunch.

Great selection of cars from around the world as well as some historic Japanese vehicles. An affordable and good sized museum, this can take a couple of hours or fill half a day.
As with many museums in Japan, there is a stamp collection game for the kids.

I have seen quite a few Automotive Museums in several countries and travel with groups of committed enthusiasts and our unanimous opinion was that this Museum is a must see.
The collection is vast, displaying everything from everyday cars to super cars, with some wonderful examples of rather rare cars, this is the largest collection of JDM cars I have ever seen and was astounded by the number of and the history of the Japanese makers on display at the Motorcar Museum of Japan.

On arrival at the Museum the building is most impressive. So is the collection of vehicles. You are greeted on the forecourt by an old Rolls Royce, a London black cab, a Lincoln Continental and a Mercedes military off road style SUV. The focus is naturally on Japanese cars and I was delighted to see so many that I remembered from my childhood as well as many others which begun the Japanese car industry and those which were not exported and I had not seen before. In addition there were many other American, British and European cars. There were also a great many small and micro cars which you don't usually see in other motor museums. Some notable absences were the Mercedes SL Pagoda and Alfa Romeo (except for 'The Graduate' Spider). Allow plenty of time because there are three floors of jam packed cars to take in. And therein lies a problem. The cars are so tightly crammed together you can't get an all-round look at them - a bit frustrating. Having said that it was a worthwhile morning and one of the better car museums I have visited.

Amazing huge collection of classic and collectible cars. Three floors full of cars has my cell phone full of pictures. My only complaint is that there are actually too many cars in the space and you can't get between the cars to see everything about them. 1000 yen admission fee is definitely worth it.

I wasn't expecting much- or anything- but I certainly didn't expect this many cars. It was very interesting to see the different cars throughout the years.

Makes a great pit stop from Kanazawa to Nagoya. Museum is catered to both Motörhead and non-car lovers. Nice building and great collection of cars, be prepared to spend half a day to thoroughly enjoy the full collection of cars and some historic motorcycles. A pity I only had 2 hours.

had a little time before my flight and went to the museum, it turned out a lot larger with more interesting cars than i expected. Even the bathroom with urinals from around the world was interesting.

Hi - we would like to visit the museum in March and it seems that from our location a JR train from Kanazawa to Awazu station, then a taxi would be the best route. Is this correct and what would be the likely taxi fare. Thank you for any help.

I will answer the question.
I think that's the best way to go to museums.
Taxi fare is about 1500 yen.
Best regards.

How would I travel to this museum from a location closer to the Kanazawa station?

Thank you very much for questioning.
If it's a train, please take it from Kanazawa station to Kagaonsen station.
After that, please get on a bus or a taxi.
Thank you.
