On March 25th and 26th, we had a special spring break project titled "Special Area Undercover Investigation! Oppama Plant Investigation Team!"
For children of elementary school age and older, we conducted a special investigation of the assembly process and the press process, which is normally inaccessible.

The investigation team members had to wear protective gears such as helmets, long sleeves, and work gloves while investigating in the press process.

They were specially guided by an expert in the plant, and fascinated by his valuable insights!

The moment when the steel plate changed shape in a second was truly spectacular.

We received pleasant feedbacks from participants, such as "I was overwhelmed by the impressive power of the press process" and "It was so interesting that I want to participate again".

We will have special events irregularly in the future.
We sincerely look forward to your participation!

How have you getting along with the continuing harsh summer heat lately?
In this summer, we are carrying out “On-line Tour of Oppama Plant” which you can participate in the Plant Tour from home!

On July 17th, as an special event, we had “Let's ask these Experts! We are the Research Team of Oppama Plant!”, the event which these expert members who work at the plant answer questions from our guests.

There were a lot of questions such as “What was your childhood dream?”, “What is the hardest thing when you are working?”, and more from these children who attended the events, and the Experts members also had a fun time there♪

We asked these Expert members who attended the on-line tour about the impression of the event!

It is said that children leave cars, but I was surprised they were familiar with Nissan cars.
I think that it is necessary not only to manufacture the vehicles but also to study about complete structure of them.

It was a valuable experience for me, and I realized that they have high interest in Nissan cars as their questions were really specific.
We will do our best to make our workplace more amazing for those who attend our Plant Tours.

I was surprised that these children were very knowledgeable when we talked with them.
I would like to appreciate these Nissan funs children's feelings and keep manufacturing high quality and attractive cars in the future.

We are planning special tours on national holidays and etc.
We will inform you detailed information by posting on our Plant Tour Reservation Site.
Please check it and we are looking forward to your participation!
