Yanmar Museum

The Yanmar Museum features simulators where visitors can operate tractors, excavators, and boats to understand industrial machinery applications in agriculture and construction.

Founded in 2013 to mark Yanmar's centennial, the museum honors Magokichi Yamaoka who developed the first compact diesel engine in Japan.

Through exhibits and interactive displays, the museum presents the evolution of Japanese agricultural technology and its impact on farming communities.

Located at 6-50 Sanwa-cho in Nagahama, the museum opens daily from 10 AM to 5 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages.

The facility includes a biotope on its roof that replicates Lake Biwa's ecosystem, featuring local aquatic species and plant life.
