Fukuyama Auto & Clock Museum

Fukuyama Auto & Clock Museum, Automobile and horological museum in Fukuyama, Japan

Fukuyama Auto & Clock Museum is located in Fukuyama and displays both vehicles and timekeeping objects side by side. The collection includes Rolls-Royce and Packard automobiles, Japanese cars, wax figures, music boxes, three-wheeled carts, and clocks spanning different eras.

The museum opened in 1989 and features Japanese clocks from the Edo period, when daylight and night were each divided into six parts. This presentation links the history of timekeeping to Japan's automotive development.

The museum's name pairs cars with clocks, and its guiding motto is director Takashi Nosō's phrase "ride them, see them, touch them." Visitors may photograph exhibits freely, board some vehicles, and bring pets inside. The collection favours working commercial vehicles and buses, including a set of retired fire engines, and many cars have appeared in films such as Black Rain and Always: Sunset on Third Street.

The museum is a 12-minute walk from the north exit of Fukuyama Station, or about 5 minutes by taxi; the Koyo loop bus from the south exit stops at Kitayoshizu housing. It opens from 9:00 to 18:00 and closes no days. Pets may enter with visitors, and photography inside is allowed.

Visitors can examine a Batanko three-wheeled vehicle from the 1930s and motor-assisted bicycles, revealing what Japan's early transportation options looked like. These machines show how people traveled before mass automobile production took hold.
