Shaking off the terrible experience of Ghibli Park, the Toyota Automobile Museum is only a few stops away by train, far less crowded, has prettier buildings and lots of cool stuff to see.

While their car collection are certainly plentiful (and only a selection is on display, the vast remainder of their collection is in private storage), the large museum also fits in an entire car memorabilia section (toys, car magazines, stamps, etc), showrooms, a library of car-related literature and Toyota catalogs (low key interested in buying a JPN Taxi for personal use), a restaurant and large gift shop (which sadly doesn’t do tax-free either, but hey, you can’t have everything).

Overall, much more satisfying place to visit and spend several hours in. It’s not, however, the best place I went to in Nagoya. That will be for a future post.
