Oya History Museum

Reviewed By Shigeabbott - Abbottstown, United States

We had no idea how jaw dropping this place was! You are able to talk through a part of a stone mine. It makes you feel you are on another planet or something. Don’t forget to take a sweater or light jacket because it’s chilly all year around. I didn’t see any handicap accommodations and you will have to climb down and up many steps-just like when you visit a good size caves or caverns. Very limited information in English, which didn’t make much sense. But you can get what they’re trying to tell you. There is a small information area but again all in Japanese. My non-Japanese speaking teens were able to get main information by reading English signs posted here and there. They were very amused by huge tour buses driving through small areas between carved boulders in the mountain.

Honda Collection Hall

Reviewed By W9171FFmichellec - San Diego, United States

Honda cars and motorcycles are in beautiful condition, but as a former owners of a Honda fit and a Honda S2000, neither of which were represented, we felt a bit slighted. If Civics, NSX and the Honda Club are your thing, you will find adequate representation. Gift shop has Tomika S2000 (matchbox cars) and RC cars, so that made us feel a bit better since they are currently hard to find at Japanese toy stores. All the gift shops on the premises (especially one under grandstand) had interesting car themed gifts, uncommonly found in Japan. Museum opened at 10am. Honda Collection museum has a lounge with drink vending machines but no snacks no cafe. Much English translation of Mr. Honda's cute and pithy sayings. My Navigation system needed "Twin Rings Motegi" as the input to get to this area, as this museum is located in massive racetrack complex disguised as woods. North and South Gate appear to be open regularly. ¥1000 per person ¥1000 to park. Easiest way to get here is via car, however need to walk quite a bit from parking areas to get to grandstand. Most of the food venues were closed on non-event weekday although race tracks were buzzing with racing motorcycle activity.
