Hey gang, So I will be departing on a school trip to Japan from May 8th until May 16th. Now I know there is an incredible hot rod, kustom, chopper scene in Nagoya and Yokahama I, however, will be in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto the whole time. So I was just wondering if there is any shops anyone could recommend checking out and maybe buying some swag from or something. Or speed shops, chopper shops, car shows, etc. I am well aware that the 31st Annual Street Car nationals is on, however, I will be three hours (public transit) away from it at that time. So any HAMB'rs in Japan want me to buy them a couple beers and talk hot rods. I'm up for anything related to Choppers, Lowriders, Hot Rods, or Kustoms while I am there. I usually manage to do some cool car stuff while I travel and hope to do the same in Japan. Thanks guys!
As mentioned in the first post I wanted to go to that show, however, don't know if it will be possible travel wise for me. Anything else going on or cool shops to check out? Thanks guys
post info as what area that you will be visiting - if you do visit any shops, etc be sure to post pics here
Hey, do me a favor and watch out for my old 56 pontiac. It supposedly went to Japan and was painted a Porsche red before it left USA. I'd love to see it now.
3 hours on public transport in Japan is a snap- clean, fast and on time. On the bullet train in 3 hours you are nearly in Russia!!
