they are great guys but dont speak much english. They're collection is amazing although the tokyo dealership is a little small. I went to see them in April. The McLaren F1 is gone now, but they had plenty of great stuff in to drool over. Apart from fish market etc. you really should go up to the top of the park hyatt as well just for a drink. The view is amazing, its the hotel lost in translation is filmed in.

Tokyo

I've been twice and visited Top Secret, Spoon, Type 1, Signal Auto, Js Racing, a bunch of Up Garages and loads of other places. I've got a little guide written up so shoot me an email at naitove@gmail.com and I can send it to you.

I have been to tokyo....lots of cool stuff to see there that is car related. The largest Toyota dealership in the world is there -- Toyota MegaWeb its called and that is a sight to see. Indoor test drives FTW!

Also, make sure to check out the Z Car Garage (outside of tokyo) for a sick little cafe/coffee bar that is filled with rare/custom Nissan Z's. I really liked that place.

Obv lots of tuners to see there as mentioned above --- and lots of cool spots to just chill with a cup of coffee and watch the cars roll by (Roppongi Hills, Shibuya, Shinagawa, etc)


Here is a link to my WEBSHOTS album from my trip --- 500+ pictures (mainly cars)

Japan! pictures from cars photos on webshots

Enjoy!!!

i second the toyota mega web, it was awesome. If you wanna see where all the young people hang out head to Shibuya, there are tons of things to do there. VIP meets and most car meets happen outside of Tokyo and are usually pretty private, so if you have a Japanese friend with a car then you are in luck.

Toyota Mega Web has a fantastic historic museum above the main show room. While you're there if you want to play some video games Joypolis is right next door. BingoSports usually has some amazing cars in their show room.

If you feel like getting out of Tokyo the city of Nagoya, about 1.5 hours away on the bullet train has some good showrooms. I was there last year and checked out the ZAZ Museum and it was pretty amazing!

So how was your trip??? Can you share your pics/stories with us???

^^ Check this out. My friends and I went to Japan end of May and we went all out in terms of renting an unlimited data plan on a USB stick, and using it everywhere we went!
We used it on buses, while we drove, while we were at Fuji Speedway,

Anyways, we documented the entire trip
