02The new NOTE is here.
The new NOTE, which is being built at the OppamaPlant, is now on display in the Guest Hall!
It has a sophisticated design that surpasses the common sense of compact cars, and the front grille is inspired by the Japanese traditional craft of Kumiko.The guest hall director's pocket square has the same Kumiko design as the new NOTE.

01Thank you for the nice letter!
Since September, we have been offering online plant tours to elementary school students from various regions to explore the world of car manufacturing at the OppamaPlant through a screen.
The other day, we received a very cute thank-you note from an elementary school in Fukuoka Prefecture that participated in the online tour!
One of the charms of the online tour is that it allows us to connect with people in distant regions.
