Find XO: Shimano Bicycle Museum located in Sakai, Japan, a place to experience bicycle history and technology firsthand (inrng.com)

- The Shimano Bicycle Museum is located in Sakai, about 15 km south of Osaka, Japan, showcasing the evolution of bicycles through various bikes and components. - The museum is housed in a modern building focused on bicycles themselves, displaying multiple types from early hobby horses to Olympic competition models. - Visitors can directly handle and compare the weight of bicycle tubing made from steel, aluminum, and titanium, and see the parts configuration through a disassembled high-performance racing bike display. - The museum exhibits year-by-year models of Shimano's signature groupset, Dura-Ace, but covers little about the company's history or other business areas like fishing gear. Admission is approximately 500 yen.
