## Overview

The museum aims to introduce the history of motorsports for over 130 years, including roughly 40 exhibits systematically presented.
The museum is a permanent exhibition facitlity housed in the Fuji Speedway Hotel building, located right next to Fuji Speedway, one of the largest racing circuits in Japan. The museum occupies the first and second floors of the hotel building.

The hotel itself is owned by Toyota Fudosan [ja], a real-estate company of Toyota Group, and operated by Hyatt Hotels & Resorts as one of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt Hotels.
