Hino Auto Plaza, Automobile and technology museum in Minamino, Japan.

Hino Auto Plaza is Hino Motors' corporate museum in Minamino, Hachioji, attached to the Hino Motors 21st Century Center (Shannon 21) training facility. Its displays trace the company from its predecessor Tokyo Gas Electric Industry to the present, with a TGE-A truck replica at the entrance and a collection of Contessa cars, a Renault 4CV, a BH15 bonnet bus and a Hustler three-wheeler.

The museum was founded in 1996 and displays a collection documenting truck and bus development since the company's early days. A replica of the TGE-A truck stands at the entrance and was recognized by Japan's Ministry of Economy as a heritage landmark of industrial modernization.

The place reflects how Hino Motors shaped Japan's transportation industry over many decades through its vehicle designs and innovations. Visitors can observe how the company's work connected to everyday life and industrial progress across the country.

The museum is reached by Keio Bus route Mi04 (Minamino loop) from Hachioji-Minamino Station on the JR Yokohama Line, alighting at Minamino 5-chome Minami, about 5 minutes on foot. Taxis take about 15 minutes from the south exit of Hachioji Station or from Nishi-Hachioji Station, and about 10 minutes from Mejirodai Station on the Keio Line. By car, take National Route 16 from the Hachioji Interchange of the Chuo Expressway, roughly 30 minutes; parking is available. Group visits require advance contact.

The company was the first Japanese truck manufacturer to compete in the Dakar Rally, marking a milestone in international motorsport history. This achievement demonstrates the high engineering standard the company had reached.
