Having worked in an automotive assembly factory, I was very interested to visit the Subaru main plant in Ota. My Japanese colleague helped fill out the form and made sure we were registered for a visit on the said day. You must arrive 30 min ahead and bring your passport with you. After a 30 min PowerPoint presentation in a conference room (Japanese only), some 20 participants are led to the museum with the first dozen of car models of Subaru and then to a spare part units/components depot and then through 3 assembly halls to watch how two car models are assembled live. Absolutely spectacular. First class guide. And the trip to Ota, Gunma, is so worth the detour to see how people outside of Shibuya Square live. So grateful to Subaru for organising these visits for interested people, and for free. My 10-year-old daughter enjoyed this as well. Time on the site all in all about 2 hours.

Worth visiting for all Subaru fans. You can see the actual factory and a small museum. Pros: #Free #Can go through the factory. Cons: #It took me almost 2h drive one way. So as a day trip it might not be worth it... for lets say your bored Japanese wife who has to take you there if you don't speak Japanese :) #Most things are not explained/showed in depth and it is forbidden to touch anything. So, depending on you knowledge, you'll not see nothing new #Can't see much in the factory as the footpath is level higher than workers and view mostly blocked by the sealing. Worth noting that I am an engineer by trade and have been working in the press shop in the past so I am usually less exited than some people. Also I'd wish Subaru made bigger effort and film more videos for fans about the technical aspects of their cars on their YT channels.

We went to subaru visitors centre and in the entry, one vigilant/guard shout us very impolite/rude. A behaviour inapropiate for a legend as subaru brand deserves. Make sure you make a reservation 20 days before go if not you could not pass.
