Lying on a 120,000 m2 site on a hill in Hino City, Tokyo, Tama Tech opened in 1961, the year before the launch of Suzuka Circuit, as an “auto run” where motorcycles could be ridden freely. Soon after its opening, the original attraction of the “machine powered by a Honda engine” was introduced, and Tama Tech became popular as “a place to have fun with motorcycles while learning traffic rules reflecting real life,” and “a scientific automotive amusement park,” which led to the Motopia of today.
Motopia continued to operate under the concept of “expanding motorization through the fun of mobility,” and in 2002, “Kochira’s Putti Town” opened as an area where children three years of age and up could ride a bike or drive a car and learn traffic safety rules. Since then, new attractions have been introduced almost every year, including real-running go-karts, a pool area for adventure, discovery and experience, as well as other attractions with the theme of adventure to satisfy curiosity, offer up challenges and give children a sense of achievement. The materialization of this concept is an attraction and area where children of all ages can play and stimulate their minds. As a place for learning, group fun, school trips and of course family outings, Motopia creates fun memories unlike anywhere else.
Kur Garden was opened in 1997 as a day-trip resort with a view of the Tama hills and sodium-chloride hot springs, which welled up from 1600 m below ground when the land adjacent to Motopia was excavated. Within the building, the visitor can find the Japanese restaurant Maple, which serves an assortment of seasonal dishes, Loulan, an authentic Chinese restaurant offering Guangdong cooking, and the Active Zone for health and the relaxation zone, making this place a space to relax for a day and heal both mind and body.
