Ah~~ From the post title, was actually expecting to see lots of cars. I guess those will come later?
We had wanted to visit this museum when we were in Nagoya, but just couldn't find the time.
Followed, for more of Japan :)

We also thought it will be car. But Mr Toyoda actually start from textile industry. Car will be next...
