Replying to @michael_nielsen @danielgross
"Reinvesting rent in social capital" is a time-honored tradition in many places, and factory tours are approximately the least odious ways of doing this, since they focus on the work rather than the curated epiphenomena of the work like e.g. company museums do.

Japanese factory tours (and analogous tours of working spaces, which literally include McDonalds here: http://www.mcdonalds.co.jp/family/adventure/ …) are enormously popular internally and externally.

(Coming to Japan, peanut gallery? If you can finangle a tour of a Toyota facility, which might or might not be broadly available, strongly recommend any technologist do so. Suntory distilleries are publicly available. Broadly available: traditional crafts, light manufacturing.)

Happy to make the trip out to Aichi if something is available, which a quick search suggests is likely.
