<a href="/features/130_0809_m_yokota_collection/index.html">Heaven Is A Place On Earth, Somewhere In Japan-And It's Full Of Candy, Toys And Cool Classic Cars</a><p>I must admit that I found this place by pure accident. It was a Sunday afternoon and we were taking an "Initial D" fact-finding tour. The first stop we made was Mt. Akagi, the touge where the RX-7 driving Takahashi brothers were supposed to reside. It's pretty cool; it looks just like the cartoon. The next stop was Mt. Haruna. This is the mountain where the hachi-driving, tofu delivery boy, Takumi, makes his home base. The name of this mountain was cleverly changed from Harunasan (Spring Mountain) to Akina (Fall Mountain) in the cartoon. I could see why; there was a grip of drift cars driving around, taking in the "Initial D"-inspired sights. It must drive the locals crazy. The one thing I could not help noticing throughout the drive were these peculiar billboards all over the place, which had the same drawing of a Toyota 2000GT, a teddy bear and a piece of candy. Since I don't read Japanese, I finally had to ask, "What the hell are these billboards for?" The answer I got: "Those signs are for a museum named the M. Yokota Collection."</p>
