According to Toyota's page, the Toyota museum is open for tours and such only by appointment. Would any of guys be interested in contacting the person in charge of the place and arrange a group visit for local members of our forum?

It is open by invite only. If you guys want to do a seperate tour at the Museum. It is limited space so whoever is interested, I can make the arrangements. I have direct contacts with the museum curator.

A Toyota rep at JCCS said you can set up appointments to go.

Let me check the calendar to see what weekend is open, and we can have a specific Toyota Museum meet for CL there. I've been holding meets at the Toyota Museum since it opened back in 2001. Their collection of cars are definitely second to none. I'm sure many of you will enjoy seeing the first LS400 that was delivered to the USA along with the first clay model concept of the 1st gen SC as we know it today.
