The city of Toyota Part 1/2

Long day behind. Early in the morning we left to Toyota city by subway & train. Did you know, the city is named by the company, Toyota Motors Inc. Roughly every 12th citizen is directly working for Toyota. Much of the people in there are indirectly employed in car industry.

Clean, quiet, modern - those three words are my description of Toyota city.

The main entrance. We had English speaking guide for two hours free of charge. They presented quite a lot from assembly lines to press and welding processes and new concept cars. No pictures were allowed during the factory walks though.

Amazing assembly of parts. The most expensive Lexus at the show room. It had a TV but it wasn't configured yet.

This is the i-unit.It's a kind of Robot, transforms to different two vehicles and takes you from a to b.

The world headquarters of Toyota Motors Inc. From here we headed back to the Tyota city by metro.

One great side about Japan is you always find something new to eat. This set is from a place called Mamehana, a chain that makes huge range of foods only from soybeans.

It's tricky really, because sometimes you could be sure it's something else, yet it isn't. Well, salad is salad and rice is rice. That's no trick.


Cheerful service! Mr. Murayama was our kind waiter. Meals came in a minute. Japanese chefs are so very fast.

Curvy design bridge, which crossed the Yahagi-river.This place wasn't far from the center so we took a walk there.

Fishing seemed popular in Yahagi river. Probably they're lucky, because we saw many fishes jumping in the crystal clear river water.

A school after bridge. Apparently every school in Japan look as exiting and colorful as this. So I heard.
