You got it,if you look close you can see the logo still there. This is the office that was built in 1979 which is the same time that they released the RX1200. They had another building in a different area of town the was the service center. The service center is now apartment complex,at the old service center there was a small circuit,and whare house,but none of that can be seen now.
I was on a search of the AYK office and service center and both address are in the instructions of most kits so it was just a matter of searching the web. Typing in the address brought up a realasate company. The office still stands and was for rent.

Japan doesnt like old building so I was surprised that the building was still around.So a day off work and a I was on my way. The office is located at the end of a one way street.It isnt in an industral park so that might be why it inst towrn down yet.
Armed with a google map and a scan form an old RC mag help me get there without to many problems.

Now it might seem a little strange that I would want to visit such a place but there isnt much left here in Japan RC wise. Tamiya,Kyosho and HPI have all moved overseas these days.As everybody moves to brushless motors and LiPo`s made in China there inst much left that Japan makes. AYK sort of did it all and did at home.Its one of the reasons that AYK is still big here.

So after I found the office i was amazed that the logo is still visable on the bricks. Compareing the state of the building and old magazine pictures I have it doesnt seem that it has been rented since AYK left. Many thing are still the same.Even the tile is the same as old pictures and is now starting to peal up,something that the Japanese would never stand for if it was rented. Also the $5000.00 a month rental price seems very high even by Tokyo prices. So I took a few pictures.

Now the big question is whats in the boxes on the third floor?Japanese people fall into two very seperate classes. You either have the guy that throws everything any or the guy that hordes everything.So there is a good chance that there is some AYK materials still in the 3rd floor of the office.

I am debating on contacting the realastate company to see if they will let me take a look.
Thats a very long post. Check out the pictures if you like.
