Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) has unveiled TEM (Toyota Experiential Museum), a first-of-its-kind lifestyle and cultural hub designed to blend Indian philosophies of mindful living with Japanese culture and advanced technology. Located at Phoenix Mall of Asia, Bangalore, TEM reflects Toyota’s belief that innovation and mobility go beyond vehicles.
Spanning 8,200 sq. ft on the mall’s ground floor, TEM offers a five-senses experience — captivating visuals, soothing sounds, unique scents, inviting textures, and flavors that harmoniously combine Japanese minimalism with Indian warmth.
At the launch, Tadashi Asazuma, Deputy Managing Director of Toyota Kirloskar Motor, said: “At Toyota, our vision of creating ‘Happier Paths Together’ extends beyond mobility. It’s about inspiring experiences that connect people, cultures, and emotions. With TEM, we aim to offer a truly unique journey that embodies this spirit.”
In India, we found inspiration in the practice of Sādhanā — the mindful pursuit of inner balance and fulfilment. tem is where the Japanese culture and values of precision, serenity, and respect for nature beautifully align with the spirit of Sādhanā, making tem a meaningful blend of both. Designed to engage the senses and spark reflection, it brings together art, technology, and craftsmanship to inspire mindfulness, especially amongst the youth.”
What to expect Inside tem:
Embodying minimalist interiors and distinct aesthetics designed to spark curiosity, tem invites visitors to explore and experience at their own pace. It offers a rare moment of serenity — a chance to pause, take a deep breath, and reconnect with oneself through thoughtfully curated spaces. Guests can step into fully immersive experience rooms, discover exquisite collectibles at the Merchandise Shop, and unwind with a cup of calm at the interactive Matcha Corner.
Immersive Pathways to One-of-a-kind Experiences – Step in to leave the noise behind; for each element here is designed to awaken your senses and imagination.
The journey begins with a mirrored and rhythmic experience of the changing seasons, common to Japan and India, unfolding around you through infinite projections. It gently mirrors how both the countries find beauty and oneness in nature’s rhythm — the warmth of summer, the calm of rain, the bloom of spring, and the glow of autumn — expressed here through light, colour and motion.
The experience then rises into a powerful celebration of the shared passion between the two nations — where music becomes the common language. An immersive audio-visual collaboration between Toyota and DRUM TAO awakens your senses, echoing the spirit of harmony, energy, and connection – creating an energy that moves through you, stirs emotion, and lingers long after you leave.
As the experience unfolds, you’re greeted by a breathtaking spectacle — a stunning piece of art featuring a cascading water curtain encircling a car draped in satin. The satin amplifies the sparkle of the scene, while the cool mist and gentle motion of water create a serene, almost ethereal ambiance.
