Aki was a great English speaking guide. She was very helpful in maximizing the time we had in the museum. It was interesting to see that history of Toyota and how it evolved from the textile to the automobile industry.

I have owned Lexus autos for more than 20 years so the Toyota Museum was especially meaningful. On my first trip to Japan in 1967 I bought a set of Noritake China, so loved seeing that fascinating museum. Hiro was great guide, and showed us all the important sites in these two museums.
