Just to clarify: on the web page shown by Tranzformer there are the Main plant and Yajima plant. From the page, it said the main plant produces the small cars (R2, R1, Pleo, Sambar and Stella) while the Yajima plant produces the Legacy, Exiga, Impreza and Forester. I believe it is this main plant that will be producing the FR-S/BRZ and the production of those smaller cars are moved to Daihatsu.

PS: both plants are all located at Ota city, Gunma Perfecture. Ota city is about 50KM or so away from the Shibukawa city, which is the major city outside of the small town where the comic Initial D is based on.
This is what I found:


A) Gunma Ota North Plant: 27-1, Kanayama-cho, Ota-shi, Gunma 373-0027

B) Gunma Main Plant: 1-1, Subaru-cho, Ota-shi, Gunma 373-8555




A on the map is the Ota North Plant and B is the Gunma Main plant. Looks like you showed the Yajima plant. The Forester, what started this condo, is made at the Ota plant from what I can find online.

Other Subaru plants are:

Gunma Yajima Plant: 1-1, Shoya-cho, Ota-shi, Gunma 373-0822
Gunma Oizumi Plant: 1-1-1, Izumi, Oizumi-machi, Oura-gun, Gunma 370-0531
Isesaki Plant: 100, Suehiro-cho, Isesaki-shi, Gunma 372-8508
