HONDA The Power of Dreams

Kumamoto Factory, located at the foot of Mt. Aso in Kikuchi-gun, Kumamoto, began operations in January 1976 as Honda's fourth production facility. Super Cub series production was transferred from Suzuka Factory in 1991.

Located in a nature-rich environment, the sprawling 1,651,056 m² (about 36 times the size of the Tokyo Dome stadium) site is Honda's only production facility for motorcycles in Japan. The site is also actively engaged in environmental protection and energy conservation measures, such as no emissions from the source, effective use of valuable resources, and appropriate waste treatment.

On the premises are the Honda Safety & Riding Plaza Kyushu (HSR Kyushu), where visitors can enjoy full-scale road racing and motocross activities, and the Traffic Education Center Rainbow Kumamoto, which provides practical safe driving education. It is extremely rare for a production plant to have such full-scale motorsports and safe driving education facilities.

The plant produces motorcycles, ATVs, and power products. In FY2018, Kumamoto Factory produced approximately 260,000 motorcycles, 40,000 finished power products and 450,000 engines.

Kumamoto Factory has three complete vehicle assembly lines, and a cell line. It produces large models such as the Gold Wing, CRF1000L Africa Twin, CB1100, and CBR1000RR, mid-sized models such as the Rebel 500 and CBR250RR, and even moped scooters such as the Giorno and Tact.

Of course, the current domestic Super Cub series, including the Super Cub, Cross Cub, Super Cub Pro, and postal delivery versions, are produced at the Kumamoto plant.

The commemorative model of the Super Cub, which reached a total of 100 million units produced worldwide in October 2017, is also produced at Kumamoto Factory.
