Higashi-Fuji Technical Center (東富士研究所, Higashi-Fuji Kenkyūjo) is a Toyota research and development facility in Susono, Shizuoka, Japan.[3][4] The facility was established in November 1966.[1][5]
Notably, the center contains an advanced driving simulation housed inside a 7 meters (23 feet) diameter dome with an actual car inside.[6] The simulator is used to analyse driver behaviors in order to improve safety.[6] Higashi-Fuji also includes a crash test building.[7]
