Toyota, Automotive manufacturing headquarters in Toyota City, Japan
Toyota is a city in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, formerly known as Koromo, focused on automotive manufacturing. The city spreads across hills and valleys, combining densely built factory zones with residential neighborhoods and rural districts dotted with rice paddies and forested areas.
The city changed its name from Koromo to Toyota in 1959, recognizing the dominant industry that had established itself there since the late 1930s. The transformation from a textile-focused town to an automotive manufacturing center accelerated after World War II.
The Toyota Production System changed manufacturing processes worldwide by introducing methods such as just-in-time production and continuous improvement principles.
The city lies southeast of Nagoya and is accessible via rail lines and expressways. Many areas welcome pedestrians, while some industrial zones may restrict access.
The Oiden Matsuri, an annual summer dance festival, draws thousands of participants performing in the downtown streets. The festival was created to foster community spirit between factory workers and residents.
