Nissan Heritage Collection Tour

The Nissan Heritage Collection is located at the Nissan engine plant at Zuma an outer suburb of Yokohama Japan, as the name implies it houses a collection of some of the most iconic and popular cars that Nissan has produced both for the street and the race track, in some of the early Datsun cars you will see a resemblance Austins of the era that is because there was a deal done between the two companies where Austin shared some designs and expertise, you may even notice some very 1934 Ford front Grilles, however Nissan very quickly moved on and produced some very beautiful and practical motor cars many of which unfortunately for us did not make it into western showrooms.
I tried several times to get my tour group into the Nissan Collection but was not successful until I reached out to a Japanese friend who helped, for some reason the web site and booking process are both difficult one could say almost obstructionist, even the actual collection site is difficult to access due in part to it being on the Nissan engine Plant premises, the fact that each group is allocated a set time and duration of visit makes it difficult to fully enjoy this magnificent collection of Nissan Vehicles, over the years we have visited a lot of Japanese tourist sites and found that they do not cater very well to international visitors, it is such a shame because Japan has such a wealth of wonderful Tourist Sites to visit.
If you are in or near Yokohama and are a fan of Japanese Cars get along to the Nissan Heritage Collection, it is definitely worth the trouble it takes to get there.
