The Japanese auto industry has its roots in the workshops of bicycle repair and manufacturing first cars were made in bike shops, and early car manufacturers, such as Honda, started by producing engines for motorized bicycles Origins modest, the Japanese auto industry has evolved into one of the most respected manufacturing industries worldwide.
The first car to Japan was made in 1902 by Komanosuke Uchiyama in Ginza with a gasoline engine that had been brought back from the United States, he produced the first all-Japanese car made in 1907 In 1904, Yamaha has built Torao Japanese Prime -made bus, which could hold 10 passengers in 1914, Mitsubishi Zosen manufactured its first car, called the model A.
