Tomica cars offer a window into a miniature world of automotive fascination, and they have captivated generations with their meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. A special event at Nagoya's Fukiage Hall is set to explore all things Tomica cars for ten days this December, and it's packed with fun for both kids and kids at heart.
The Tomica Expo in Nagoya will include various Tomica cars on display, hands-on activities like the Tomica Assembly Factory where you can put together a Tomica car to your own specifications, and even a Tomica "fishing" area for kids where they can hoist up their favorite Tomica car.
In addition, the Tomica Market will offer a wide variety of cars and event-exclusive merchandise available for purchase.
This is a ticketed event, with adult admission priced at 1200 JPY, and child admission (counted as those from 3 to 12 years) is priced at 1000 JPY. Children under 2 receive free admission.
Getting there
Nagoya's Fukiage Hall can be accessed in 5 minutes on foot from Exit 5 of Fukiage Station, which is served by the Sakura-dōri Line.
For those who opt to drive, there are various paid lots in the surrounding area – more information about the lots available can be found here.
