**Mista Foe-Doe** · 12-07-2008, 12:25 PM

BEAUTIFUL cars mann i wish i could go to japan

**JessAlba452** · 12-07-2008, 03:25 PM

Nah wasn't able to pick up any car parts. It's like they're hidden away or something lol.

But I heard that you're better off ordering online. I guess kind of like it is here.

**G2iowner** · 12-07-2008, 07:48 PM

sick whips!

**JDMFLIP** · 12-07-2008, 08:09 PM

NICE PICS I WANT 2 GO 2 JAPAN

**green91** · 12-07-2008, 08:48 PM

If you dont mind me asking, was airfare, lodging & food very expensive? Id like to budget a trip within a few years but im not sure what to expect.

**Z33_kid** · 12-07-2008, 09:24 PM

wow one day i can go there... walll paper pics ftw !!!

**LeX** · 12-07-2008, 11:04 PM

you gotta take me next time you go

**Benefit** · 12-07-2008, 11:05 PM

that s15 is crazy

**JessAlba452** · 12-08-2008, 03:15 AM

Lodging isn't very expensive, just like here it depends where you go. Hyatt Tokyo was $300 per night. Live Max in Osaka was around $80/night

Airfare was around $1500, got tickets at last minute.

At the same time you want to pick up a Japan Rail pass, and Suica/icoca card if you plan on taking the transit or JR rails. Taxi's start at 710Y and add up from there but aren't terribly expensive if you just want to take those instead.

Food is around the same of what you'd expect here. But if you go make sure you pay attention to prices, and their serving sizes are smaller for both food and drinks.
Refills aren't common like they are here a small cup of soda/drinks at a dine in place were usually 510￥almost $5.00.

Most of the $ was spent in Akihabara which is the largest electronics district. Take at least 2 days to check everything out you'll be doing some walking

If you're there stop in at Yodobashi Camera. It's around 9 whole floors worth of electronic goodies lol.

Can't really say how much would be enough, since you may stay in one area or explore the other cities.

If I ever go again, might want to just stay in Tokyo. There is a LOT to see just in that one place.

These are all the places I went to in no particular order...

Shinjuku, Roppongi, Shibuya, Akihabara, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, Yokohama

**DunDunSkeert** · 12-08-2008, 07:53 PM

I guess hating can be amongst owners...but I wouldn't say his attitude belongs to a GM forum, that's rather ignorant (admittedly some do bash), but I'm part of many GM forums and they can recognize a bada$$ machine when they see one and give credit where it's due.

I just wished we'd stop hating and bashing...we're all car crazy, isn't that enough?

**leobond001** · 12-09-2008, 10:58 PM

man i remember when i went last year. i was there for 9 days. its truly a great place.

**EthanR** · 12-09-2008, 11:33 PM

its probably been answered but what parts did you go to i went a few years back and was just curious

**JessAlba452** · 12-10-2008, 02:22 PM

A few places, stayed about 3 days here and there.

Shinjuku, Roppongi, Shibuya, Akihabara, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, Yokohama

**Jonflip29** · 12-10-2008, 08:01 PM

Very nice pictures. Thanks for sharing. I hope I get orders for Japan for the Navy. I'll have to buy a new better camera too. Oh and a Skyline while i'm there.

**leobond001** · 12-10-2008, 11:15 PM

did you rent an apartment? i know next time i go, i'm gonna do that. they're kinda cool. feels like your actually living there

**JessAlba452** · 12-11-2008, 05:33 AM

I didn't rent one, but my bf did for a month last time he went.

It was very small, and is a little cheaper than a hotel.

Thanks for the 5 star rating guys!

More pix...non car related but good none the less!

You'll more than likely set foot on one of these.

Crazy line at KrispyCreme

Girls that made it out with a stash hehe.

I decided to get Starbucks instead

Ahhh anime heaven over here. Club Sega pwnz all! LoL

Awesome aquariums in Japan too. The globe is filled with water and fish too.

Mori Tower @ Roppongi Hills

Favorite store of all time! Yodobashi Camera located in Akiba or Akihabara.

Delicious mmm mmm.

Performer in Yokohama, pretty cool stuff and he was really funny!

Stopped by Milky Soft after the show. Prettiest ice cream evar!

Looked at Mr.Donut they are the same as Dunkin' Doughnuts here but better of course, because we are in Japan.

Decided to go with sushi instead. I love sushi!

When you come back you'll have a ton of ￥ coins!

This is how you get rid of them! Stopped by another arcade can't get enough of Pop n' Music 16 and Beatmania. Everyone is way too good at the games. This girl is awesome she played everything in the arcade like perfectly.

Rental car had to be NISSAN of course!!! Here is a Fuga the equivalent of an Infiniti M35 but RHD omg JDM TYTEEE!!! Ahahahaha

That is all for now

**Shift_2Drift** · 12-13-2008, 06:04 PM
