You may remember that in June there was information that a new STi gallery was opening in Tokyo. I remember hearing about it but not hearing or seeing anything else after the fact.
It seems that the gallery is a bit of a secret. First, it is really out of the way of anything and you need to walk for 35 minutes from the nearest station in order to get to it. This is if you can even find out where it is located. Subaru has not posted information on how to get to it on any of their websites. Where Japan normally has maps for everything, here you are left with an address and that's it. Navigating the Japanese train system was a pain but I got there eventually.
The Gallery was nice and had three very cool vehicles.
The Legacy RS that showed the world that Subaru and Colin McRae are awesome.
The STi 24h Nurburgring car which ran in May 2009.
The Legacy land speed record holding car
The atmosphere was relaxed and modern with open areas and ample relaxing room. Chalk this one up as a win for Subaru. There was a lot more to see there so check more pics of the STi gallary in Tokyo.
Overall it was a good trip and worth the morning and afternoon trip.
