A place of information where the fun of technology intersects
“TAMIYA MAKER’S SQUARE”, planned and operated by Tamiya’s Purchasing Management Department, is a special project limited to the Tamiya Fair 2024 venue with the aim of spreading the appeal of manufacturing to more people and contributing to the development of the manufacturing industry. Under the common theme of “communicating the appeal of manufacturing”, a total of 12 exhibitors will exhibit works incorporating their respective technologies and appeal to visitors about their products and technologies. Exhibitors will create mini 4WD courses incorporating their own unique gimmicks and decorations that are the epitome of their technology and pride, and by connecting each course together, a special mini 4WD circuit will be created. The sight of mini 4WDs running through various original sections that are very different from the usual course is not only enjoyable to watch, but may also bring about new evolution and unexpected technological innovation in mini 4WD itself. We hope that this project will bring together manufacturers from all over the country in Shizuoka and connect companies, which will serve as a catalyst for the creation of new technologies.
