If you are in Nagoya, I highly recommend visiting this museum! It's walking distance from the station, or you can take a bus.
It has two parts - the textile pavilion and the automotive pavilion. There are tours in Japanese throughout the day and one English tour in each area a day. I registered for both English tours, then wandered around on my own before the first tour began.
My favorite thing was this big circular loom.
This section is called various textiles
The first tour was the textile tour. The guide was very young and cute, but she also knew everything about the place. She was an excellent tour guide.
There was a short break between tours, and I again wandered around a bit.
To tell the truth, I really didn't think I would be as interested in the automotive tour, but I was wrong! It was very interesting.
The name Toyoda was changed to Toyota. One of the reasons was because "Toyoda" takes ten strokes, "Toyota" takes eight and eight is a lucky number.
These are just a few of the many photos I took. It was a great museum and I really enjoyed the tours.
