Visited Japan - Tokyo, Daikoku, Mt. Fuji & Toyota Museum

[N-Seven]

For anyone considering visiting Japan - do it!

 

I got back from a trip around Japan in October and it was by far the best trip I have ever taken. I was there for just over two weeks and visited Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto and Osaka.

 

While I was in Tokyo I went to Daikoku for the weekend car meet, I've never seen so many insanely modified cars in one place. I won't bore you with loads of photos but here are two Celica's that were there. The Gen 6 couldn't be more stock ironically and was the only unmodified car there.

 

 

 

 

 

Then on the way back, got involved in some friendly street racing 

 

Then went on to Hakone and rented a MK4 Supra, then went driving around the mountains by Mt. Fuji.

 

 

Later in the trip, made a special effort to go out to Nagoya to visit the Toyota Museum. It was massively out of the way but so worth it. Here's a few Celica-Related pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Again though if you are thinking about going to Japan, I can't recommend it enough

Epic,the old skool cars look awesome especially the Gen3/4 rally specials. ST165 still showing battle scars on the rear corner

It seems I missed you by only a few weeks, did close to the same itinerary the first 3 weeks of October 25.

 

Cannot agree with N-Seven enough though, Japan is truly life changing

Incredible! I was there from 7th October to the 22nd. We even rented the exact same Supra 😄

Well done both of you for making the trip of a lifetime. Sounds like a fantastic experience!
