Fukuyama Automobile and Clock Museum (福山自動車時計博物館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Located in Kitayoshizu-cho in Fukuyama City, this is a distinctive museum gathering classic cars and clocks. Its charm is that you can look, touch and even climb aboard. You can sit in the driver's seat of many of the cars on display and take photos, which makes for an unforgettable experience for children. Wall clocks and table clocks from countries around the world line the halls, and the moment when they all begin to chime on the hour is a highlight. Being an indoor facility, it is also a reliable refuge from the midday heat of high summer. It is within walking distance of Fukuyama Castle.

Tips

Admission is charged. Please check the fee, opening hours and closed days on the official website. When climbing into the cars, follow the staff's guidance so the exhibits are not damaged. The displays are divided by floor, so there is movement up and down stairs. If you have a stroller, it is reassuring to ask at the entrance. This is a place where photography is fun, so check that your camera or phone is charged.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. Around noon, when the hourly chimes overlap, you can witness the moment all the clocks sound at once
