Mazda Factory and Museum

This factory is huge.... its one of 2 main Mazda factories in Japan. They ship out 1000's of cars from this plant. Everything is made here. They have their own private bridge on the factory grounds.

I took tons of pictures, and some are self explanatory, so there won't be too many comments here.
