Toyota’s global headquarters is located in Japan.
Toyota Motor Corporation is headquartered in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The city lies near Nagoya and is closely associated with the automaker: it was formerly called Koromo before being renamed Toyota in 1951, reflecting the company’s importance to the area.
Toyota’s roots are also Japanese. The company grew out of Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, established by Sakichi Toyoda, and became an independent automobile manufacturer under Kiichiro Toyoda in 1937. Its headquarters remains in the same broad region where Toyota developed its early manufacturing operations.
Toyota has major offices, factories, subsidiaries, and regional headquarters around the world, including in North America, Europe, and Asia. Those international facilities can create a common mix-up, but they are not the company’s global headquarters. The headquarters location is Toyota City in Aichi, Japan—not Germany, the United States, or China.
