Shibetsu Proving Ground - Lexus' mini-Nurburgring in Northern Japan

Beautiful pictures in this article on the Shibetsu Proving Ground of ToMoCo. It shows how Lexus prototypes can rack up over a million miles with only months of testing on public roads.
What other testing grounds does ToMoCo have? Also, I'm curious what other companies have in comparison.

Fuji Speedway is a testing ground when it's not hosting any races or events. There is Shibetsu as mentioned, and a few others which Toyota keeps secret. I know there is at least one small testing track near Toyota City too. The other ones in Japan, who knows where they are.

As well as a 1.4 kilometre (0.8-mile) oval test track, the multi-purpose proving ground also features a 90-metre diameter skid pad, test roads to monitor noise and harshness and a lane for brake tests. The facilities allow Toyota’s engineers to perform a wide variety of tests such as ride comfort, road noise and vibration, vehicle durability, cornering, engine performance and brake performance. Situated close to the main workshops and offices at the technical centre, the proving ground will handle most of the vehicle testing performed on site.
