OMG. haha. I think we went to the EXACT same places in Tokyo. I recognize most of the spots and pics. Especialy the spots in Shibuya you went to and the alley shop area in Harajuku. I swear I saw those two EXACT same girl in the 109 building (was that pic taken there?). Glad you are enjoying it, Japan is AMAZING. It's a HUGE culture shock to see how nice and friendly most of the people are. I can't wait to go back.

If possible, try to hit up superautobacs in Tokyo Bay/Shinonome. PM me for super easy directions via the train. Stock up on Tommy Kaira stuff.

Haven't seen it but now that you mention it, I'll need to check it out because I definitely want to visit Japan someday. Thanks for the info!!

Yeah, it's hard for Socal guys to go travel abroad and find a concentrated mecca for unique cars unless it's Dubai or something.
You have to really go on a track or a meet for that kind of stuff. But hey, the rare domestic Japanese makes are always fun to look at. Wish I could catch TAS some time soon.
Ohh hahhaha. I picked up PJ's, funky boxers, funky socks, and some marijuana shorts. I'm still on the hunt for odd translation t-shirts.

Yeah, we are spoiled in So cal that's for sure. I've only seen a handful of cars that I thought were nice and they were Silvias or Vans. Nothing else special so far.

LOL yeah it seems like certain areas in Tokyo are the places to go. Shibuya 109 is correct...I think the 4th or 5th floor? lol Yeah, the culture here is great. I plan to visit here at least once or twice a year from now on

Seriously, how the hell do you get away with these sneaky shots? Do you just pretend to play with your camera when youre taking pictures or what?
