I did Toyota's factory tour from Fujigaoka station. The bad thing was it was just production of a compact domestic car and not very thrilling. You can't choose the line you see and no Lexus possible. The Toyota museum was disappointing as they don't really showcase their finest models from over the years. No Supra, MR2 or other mid 90s classics/ Just a lot of European classics and 1920s American cars.

Thank you for the input. Right now it looks like i'll be visiting mazda in hiroshima but passing on toyota in nagoya given the feedback here in the thread. Also, there's something to be said about once you see one car factory, the rest are not as exciting.

If you are in Obaida you may want to check out Toyota Mega Web - found that to be much better than the museum in Nagoya although the only cars on display were those in Toyota's current line up.

Does anyone have any comment on the Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum in Fushimi? Is it worth a visit on a short trip?
