Notices and Events

[Notice] Plaza Closure

Please be aware that the Plaza will be closed from November 14 (Mon.) through November 18 (Fri.) for a company event. Also, please note that December 3rd (Sun.) was scheduled as an Open Day, the Plaza will instead be closed on that day.

Exhibition: The Bellies of Beasts — Yamaha Factory Racebikes Go Vertical

From June 14 (Tue.), the Communication Plaza will open a special exhibition in the Racing History Zone on the 2nd floor called “The Bellies of Beasts — Yamaha Factory Racebikes Go Vertical.” The first part of this exhibition will feature the 1978 YZF750 (0W31), 1985 YZR500 (0W81), and 1990 YZF750 (0WB7), and we hope visitors enjoy this chance to view the oft-hidden underbelly of some of Yamaha’s factory machines of yesteryear.

We kindly ask all visitors to the Plaza for their cooperation in wearing non-woven face masks throughout the duration of their visit.

The use of non-woven masks is now recommended by the Basic Policies for Novel Coronavirus Disease Control published by the Japanese government on January 25th as well as within Shizuoka Prefecture's own COVID-19 prevention policies. Non-woven masks are more effective in preventing airborne respiratory droplets from being inhaled or exhaled compared to urethane or cloth masks, and we therefore ask that all visitors wear such masks properly over the nose when visiting the Plaza. Thank you for your cooperation.

[Notice] Group Tour Reservations

We have reopened reservations for group tours to the Plaza, so please click here if you wish to make one. Please note that all reservations are limited to groups of 20 people or fewer and that factory tours are still on hold for the time being.

[Notice] Measures Against COVID-19

Upon visiting the Plaza, we ask for your cooperation in preventing further spread of COVID-19 by abiding by the measures listed here.
