This is an excellent museum, with half devoted to the Toyota textile manufacturing plant, half to their automotive company. Tons of live demonstrations and scheduled (free) tours in English and Japanese. You could spend hours here.
But the craziest part is that admission is only ¥500–that hit my credit card statement as $3.36 USD. This is easily a $25 museum in the US.

From vintage classics to futuristic prototypes, it showcases Toyota's remarkable evolution. The interactive exhibits and knowledgeable staff enhance the experience. While some signage is in Japanese, it's a must-visit for car enthusiasts and history buffs alike
It was a well maintained place as you would expect from Toyota. The textile industry section was excellent and the story from textile machinery to automotive manufacturing is well documented. Lack of more up to date car manufacturing technologies on display was a little bit disappointing. But still I can recommend visiting the museum to anyone interested in the car industry.
Very cool!
From the production and making of fabric of sheets to the revolution of cars including hydrogen, gas, and electric vehicles...
Do it miss out on the manufacturing room where car parts are heated and pressed!
For technical nerds this is dope!
And for those who like history more, there is enough history written on the walls.
Many workers there also showcase how the machines work!
Do not miss out on the showcases and explanations!

We happened to come to Nagoya to meet a friend and she decided to go to the Toyota Museum.
It was pretty cool and there always seem to be groups. Saw many tourists here as well.
Guided tour in english was cool so check out times etc. Was very informative including why it's called Toyota and not the founders name Toyoda. Won't spoil it for you.
Kids and adults both get to do a key chain thingy at the end which was cool just to do it.

Great museum which outlines Mr. Toyoda and his journey starting from textiles and ending with cars.
Awesome bit of history and is actually located at the site of his childhood home, which is cool.
From memory it was 500¥ entry for an adult. No need to book.
Not too many cars on display, however every one in there is immaculate. You can also get a Toyota keychain made in front of you for free once entered.
There's also a gift shop to walk through with some unique souvenirs.

I was looking for a less crowded place to explore in Nagoya, and that's when I stumbled upon this amazing spot. The admission fee of 500 yen wasn't too expensive, and the experience inside was absolutely incredible. The place showcases the fascinating origins of Toyota, which began with textile machinery. As a result, there are numerous exhibits featuring various machines, and they even offer demonstrations. The staff members were extremely friendly and helpful. However, what really left a lasting impression was the automobile section. They had a remarkable display featuring cars from different generations, accompanied by explanations about the manufacturing process. I was thrilled to discover that they provided explanations in English, and the pamphlets were available in multiple languages as well. The robot playing the violin was the most impressive thing for me.
