The Toyota Automobile Museum is a fantastic place to be for any car enthusiast. The collection includes a wide variety of foreign and domestic classics.

The experience begins before even reaching the museum; the location of the museum is on a magnetic train line, which seems very futuristic (and has an incredibly smooth ride!).

One of the highlights from the museum is the Toyota 2000 GT, which was featured in the James Bond film, "You Only Live Twice". In the movie, it is shown as a convertible because Sean Connery wouldn't fit in the original car!
