TAKA was in our meeting place when we arrived and she quickly set off to start our tour of Toyota Commemorative Museum and the SCMAGLEV Railway Park. Apparently, there are 2 Toyota Museums and we went to the one which I wasn't keen on visiting. However, it was an interesting place too. The SMCAGLEV Park was a fantastic tour and the simulator ride was the highlight of our visit. Definitely recommend this tour with TAKA!johnbarr007
