    Id argue the bikes are almost more important than the cars... the have been the dominant manufacturer for sales and race results for maybe 30 years.

    Looks great - Ive done similar tours at BMW, Merc and Porsche - just amazing the history of these companies.
    On my list for my next Japan visit.

    I've been to Toyota MegaWeb in Odaiba, Tokyo which has basically a HUGE new car showroom, lots of interactive exhibits, you can test drive cars on a private track (IF you have an international license), and they also have a historical museum nearby which has cars from lots of different brands, kinda nice for Toyota to show appreciation of other brands, not just their own.

    I've also seen a Nissan showroom in Yokohama just near one of the main train stations, but no historical cars from what I remember.

    Never been to Japan, but will definitely try to visit this museum sometime... thanks for sharing!

    BTW, I can't believe Honda Museum always get shafted with the lesser of the 2 F-1 cars... Even the famous McLaren..., they didn't get Senna's car, but only Prost's?!?!?

    The exhibits change tho, Billi.

    Go find the virtual tour on the museums website, it has the #27 MP4/5B that Senna drove. Looks like it was recently swapped out for the Prost MP4/5 from a year earlier.

    Oh really? Didn’t know that... is it customary to swap around cars like that?

    Museums are always moving exhibits and sharing them around.

    That's crazy..., but I suppose it's easy enough to move cars around. For sure nobody's gonna move the space shuttle out of the California Science Center!
