Throughout the Group’s 100 year journey since its establishment in 1919, our customers have always been with us, and provided us with valuable support.

As our customers’ lifestyles and the world around them have changed, the Yamato Group has changed as well and expanded its business.

Visitors are invited to walk with the Yamato Group on its journey, and reflect together on the paths taken by both visitors and the Yamato Group.

    The early years

    The story of Yamato Group's founder

    The display introduces the early days of the company from its establishment, along with the transition of Ginza, where the company was founded. Exhibitions provide a glimpse of the business activities at that time, such as the vehicles and uniforms, as well as a sense of how the original ideas of Yasuomi Ogura as the company founder and a business person were created, which have been passed down to the present day.

    The Era of YAMATO COURIER and Business Diversification

    Creating new business ahead of its time

    The Era of TA-Q-BIN

    Birth and growth of TA-Q-BIN

    We follow the trajectory of “TA-Q-BIN”, which saved Yamato from a management crisis, from its invention through to its establishment in people’s lives. It explores Masao Ogura's spirit of challenge and business administration, which led to the success of the TA-Q-BIN despite many struggles.
