You have to line up a few hours before they start distributing the tickets because the number of available tickets is limited. Once there are enough people standing in line, they refuse any more people to que up. When the time comes to give out the tickets, the line advances quickly and soon disappears.

Toyota Automobile Museum has a world-class collection of classic cars, not just Toyota. A huge complex of cars. More like an art museum of automobile sculpture. The cars are beautiful works of art.49 viewsFrom JR Nagoya Station, it takes about 45 min. to the museum by subway and train. First take the Higashiyama subway line to Fujigaoka.
