In which city is Toyota Motor Corporation headquartered?

Toyota Motor Corporation is headquartered in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan.

The company’s main head office is at 1 Toyota-cho in Toyota City, a location closely tied to Toyota’s industrial history. The city was formerly called Koromo; it adopted the name Toyota in 1959, reflecting the corporation’s growing importance to the local economy. Toyota City lies in Aichi Prefecture, the center of Japan’s automotive manufacturing region.

Toyota also maintains important offices in Tokyo and Nagoya, which explains why those cities can appear in company listings. Tokyo has a separate Tokyo Head Office, while Nagoya hosts a regional office. Those facilities do not replace the company’s principal head office in Toyota City.

The city itself should not be confused with Toyota Industries Corporation, the earlier machinery company from which Toyota’s automobile business developed. Toyota Motor Corporation was established on August 28, 1937, and its headquarters remained associated with the Aichi manufacturing base as the company expanded globally.
