It's a Subaru Sambar, which is based on the Subaru 360. They were used by various parks departments and large manufacturing facilities in the US.

When I went to college in Japan, I rode in the backseat of one as these guys were driving way to fast thru little mountain villages, way too close to other veicles and guard rails. I felt like I was in a scary video game.
