Brief history of Toyota Motor Co. and museum

Oh nice!
Odaiba is a fun area in Tokyo.

 

Damn I go to Japan a lot and never thought about going there looks pretty cool to visit.

 

I visit 3 Toyota sites, there are more places of course.

*Kaikan museum (the one mentioned, first Toyota factory)
*Toyota Automobile Museum (nice collection of cars made by Toyota and other companies)
*Toyota factory line (great sample of one of the greatest automobile plants)

There is also a museum dedicated to Kiichiro Toyoda that shows his home, office and is aimed more at his personal life.
I recommend going to these places if you get a chance, you won't be disappointed.

 

Nice thanks again I'm usually there for two weeks every 4 months or so, so I will for sure check it out.

 

No problem.
Ask me anything about Japan, I may have the answer.

Awesome post/thread man! What a cool experience!

 

Great write up, thanks for taking the time to do that

 

Thanks for sharing, great post.

I would love to tour one of their Japanese plants. I had an opportunity to do a tour of the Georgetown, KY plant and it was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. The amount of organization and the quality control was like nothing I've ever seen. I can only imagine what a Japanese plant is like.

 

That was an awesome write up and pics . Very interesting . I would love to have taken that tour . Thank you for this write up !

 

Took me the better part of my Saturday but it was worth it.

 

Tour was very impressive, I'll have another thread for the Toyota Automobile Museum soon.

 

I'd like to see a US plant too.

 

Sending you a pm.

 

But why 3rd gen section?

 

Thanks, that was definitely a lot of work to write up.

 

My mistake

 

Thanks for the PM, I'll take it into consideration.
