Makuhari Messe, Japan
The whole nation is caught-up in the show's energy. After all, the country's major export and the primary driver of its economy, on a world scale, is its auto industry, both inside and outside of Japan. There are Japanese-owned factories all over the world, and while they are good for select local economies, the profits always, ultimately, wind-up in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, or whatever industrial center of this amazing nation a particular car-making corporation calls home.
