The museum aims to introduce the history of motorsports for over 130 years, including roughly 40 exhibits systematically presented.[1]
The museum is a permanent exhibition facitlity housed in the Fuji Speedway Hotel building, located right next to Fuji Speedway, one of the largest racing circuits in Japan.[2] The museum occupies the first and second floors of the hotel building. The museum, hotel and circuit together make up "Fuji Motorsports Forest", a regional development project promoted by Toyota Motor Comnapny and Fuji Speedway.[2] The hotel itself is owned by Toyota Fudosan, a real-estate company of Toyota Group, and operated by Hyatt Hotels & Resorts as one of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt Hotels.
Collection
Almost all of the collection are racing automobiles. In addition, there are some exhibits of motorsports related materials to tell the thoughts of the creators of the vehicles.
Although the museum is funded by the Toyota Group and under the supervision of the Toyota Automobile Museum, the exhibits are not limited to the Toyota's automobiles. The museum follows the same policy as the Toyota Automobile Museum (similar to the Volkswagen Group's ZeitHaus in the Autostadt, Germany), displaying automobiles of the various manufacturers with cooperation of 10 Japanese and foreign automobile companies, and other cooperating organizations.[1]
