If you’re a Honda fan, the Honda Welcome Plaza should be on your list of things of things to see while in Tokyo. Located on the first floor of the Honda Aoyama Building, it consists of a small showroom, a cafe, a demonstration stage, and a store with Honda merchandise and collectibles.
It’s easily accessible from the Aoyama-itchome subway station and the entrance and demonstrations are free to the public.
Honda vehicles are lined up around the outside of the building, with the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD Honda Legend(Acura RLX) front and center.
Inside, the vehicles in the showroom change regularly, but I was fortunate to catch the TYPE-R exhibition last week which coincided with the Tokyo Motor Show. A 1995 Honda Integra Type-R, a 2002 Honda NSX-R, a 1997 Civic Type R, and the all-new Civic Type R were featured.
Honda Robotics also puts on a daily demonstration with their robot ASIMO and for their “Personal Mobility Device” called UNI-CUB. Check the schedule for times. After the demo you can line up for a free photo on stage with ASIMO taken by one of the Honda assistants with your camera/phone.
Lastly, you can purchase some souviners from the shop which carries a small selection of items ranging from ASIMO toys to officially licensed McLaren-Honda merchandise.
