Whenever I go to Tokyo I see this place along the left hand side of the highway (higashi Kanto, I think) on the Airport Limo riding from Tokyo to Narita. I think it's in Chiba as I remember it being past the sign.

It has a sign out front of it but I never can see it well enough from the bus to read it. It's got this big blue/gray tower or smokestack out front.  2 pictures are below.

Help! I am so curious....Thanks!

That's where they repair the giant robots.


Or it's just some random factory.. Why not get a pic of the front gate?

I wonder if someone is gonna pull out Google Earth and follow the bus route until they see a similar building, then look up the address...

I really don't know.

But honestly, whenever I go to Tokyo I'm always far more concerned about the golden poo building than to worry about something so menial as a robot manufacturing plant

It's Godzilla's off season countryside residence.

It's where the city burns its garbage.
Each city will have its own one. You'll be able to see one near Ikebukuro, Shinagawa, etc.

Web site: 新江東清掃工場

Edit: The building has been modeled very nicely on Google Earth at:
35 38 59.25 N  139 50 03.54 E
(Just paste the above line in the "Fly To" box and click the button)
(You need to turn on "3D Buildings" to see the model)

That's it! Thanks Katsuo! It's the most elaborate garbage incineration plant I've ever seen....
