Nissan DNA Garage - Zama, Japan

Last year I traveled to Japan for work. I was working on a project with Nissan and was lucky enough to visit the Nissan DNA Garage. The night before I stayed with Keizo and his family, and in the morning Keizo and I drove to the Zama Operations Center.

The Zama Operations Center is a large Nissan factory, and from the outside you would not know that there is such a large museum housed inside. Once we checked in, we were guided to the very back of the facility to a small red door labeled "Nissan DNA Garage". We were given an quick orientation by the crew that oversees the museum, and then we were let in.


Once you enter the small door, the museum is gigantic!


All of Nissan's famous racing vehicles and many rare production vehicles are maintained in this museum. Over the 2 days that I was able to visit the museum, I took almost 1900 pictures! Here are pictures of some of my favorite cars.
