This set of photos pretty much covers the Nissan Design facility in Tokyo as well as the Nissan research facility which happens to be a few minutes away. There I got to experience first hand full size clay modeling as well as what a car goes through to become a production model. Both of them have a huge campus. In the same building there are two Starbucks locations just in the design facility. They even have a convenience store in the lobby.
My roooooom. Much better than last time at auto salon!
Heated floors, automatic shower. I could not have asked for more thanks to my friend Yuichi!
