Nasu Classic Car Museum in Nasu, Tochigi

February 17, 2020 by William Tjipto in Cars, Japan, Reviews

I took a summer road trip to Hokkaido last year and I passed through the Tohoku (North Eastern) Area of Japan on my way back to Fukui. As you probably already know, Japan really loves cars, given especially many cars around the world are designed and/or manufactured here in this rather tiny country. So it’s no surprise that there are also quite a few cool car museums all over.

Here is the one I went to most recently, the Nasu Classic Car Museum located in Nasu District, Tochigi Prefecture.

At 1000¥, the entry ticket price is a bit expensive, but for the beautiful quality collection of classic foreign cars, it was well worth the price of entry for me.

Many of these cars are exceedingly rare anywhere in the world and even more so in Japan, as most of these were not imported in any large quantity.

I’ll admit I don’t know much about classic cars, so please enjoy my pictures.

There were also a few cars you could sit in.

They even have a genuine Mach Five from the 2008 Speed Racer movie.

While this small collection may not be worth a separate, long trip to see, I highly recommend stopping by the museum if you happen to be remotely nearby.

Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.
