Honda Collection Hall
"Machines never lie. Success will always come if they're really good. So let's show the world what we've done. Then they can see the real Honda!" - Our founder Soichiro Honda's words inspired us to establish the Honda Collection Hall.
Welcome to the Honda Collection Hall
All the vehicles (and other products) on exhibit were specially selected to reflect the unchanging thinking behind Honda, from its initial founding to the present day: A History of Dreams and Challenges. This exhibition is divided into 4 zones on 4 separate floors, each representing a specific era. We hope you will enjoy your visit, and the stories of how Honda has consistently pursued its dreams while continuing to tackle new challenges, from one era to the next.
2F South Wing From the founding to about 1970
The era of passion started with Honda's desire to "please everyone" and "challenge the world with its own technologies"
In the South Wing of the second floor, a story unfolds about Honda dreams and challenges during its founding period. The exhibit introduces stories of Honda's early days, started with the development of an auxiliary engine for bicycles developed at a small factory in Hamamatsu, and went on to the start of general-purpose engine business, the participation in the Isle of Man TT race, the launch of the Super Cub and the first era of F1*2 participation.
2F North Wing From the 1970s to about 1985
The era when the challenges Honda took on during the founding period flourished, and new generations of Honda associates who inherited Soichiro Honda's passion and spirit played active roles
In the North Wing of the second floor, the exhibit showcases a number of products and racing machines that represent the era when Honda made a full-fledged entry into the automobile business and took on another challenge in F1 racing and won a number of races.

3F North Wing From the 2000s to the present
