The Shimano Bicycle Museum is a registered museum specializing in bicycles and is operated by the Shimano Cycle Development Center.
The simple and modern exterior is made of Linit glass on the second floor, producing a unique atmosphere of an evening view lit up by LED illumination. The first floor is divided by the welcome board into the entrance and the museum square. It is an open and relaxing space. The second floor is the main exhibition floor and consists of the history zone that showcases a feel of the 19th century and the bright modern zone where you can feel the sense of liberation afforded by bicycles. In addition, this museum has a bicycle gallery where you can experience the attractive features of bicycles more closely and a multimedia library of books related to bicycles.
