Honda Collection Hall Is Located At The Mobility Resort Motegi
The Honda Collection Hall is a museum at the Mobility Resort Motegi in Tochigi Prefecture, not Utsunomiya. The museum, which reopened after a major renovation in 2024, showcases hundreds of vehicles that tell the story of Honda’s history and challenges.
At the Honda Collection Hall, you can see a wide range of Honda’s classic and racing vehicles, including motorcycles, cars, power products, and the HondaJet, as well as experience interactive exhibits like sitting inside a HondaJet Elite II mock-up and trying out the UNI-ONE mobility experience. The hall also features a special exhibition area with a historical “storytelling” audio tour available via smartphone.

So, how would you get there?
