For the Automotive Enthusiast by krc
The Toyota Automobile Museum is a great way to spend a couple hours or, if you're an enthusiast, an entire afternoon. Situated on a scenic campus just 5 minutes' walk from the Geidai-dori Station, the museum features a handsome collection of antique cars, art gallery, research library, children's play area, gift store and cafe.The collection includes approximately 155 pristine and varied cars. The museum features several classic American autos including a '29 Deusenberg, 1914 Stutz Bearcat, '27 Pierce Arrow, 1909 Stanley Steamer and a beautiful '37 Cord. European entries include a gorgeous '36 Lancia Astura, 1910 & 1937 Rolls Royces, and a vintage Alpha Romeo, Jaguar and Bugatti. The Japanese collection features mostly Toyota entries, but also includes Nissans, Hondas, Mazdas, Mitsubishis and other Japanese autos.
A complete listing of the museums collection, as well as a map and information on the facility, is available at the Museam's website at http://www.toyota.co.jp/Museum/data_e/c01_01.html.
Admission fee is 1000 yen (about $8.50) for adults. Well worth the money, and if you enjoy antique cars it's a great way to spend an afternoon.
