Slammedfc's trip to Tokyo Auto Salon 2014

[slammedfc]

Hey Guys, I recently visited Tokyo and was at the Tokyo auto salon 2014. i figured i would share some pictures of the Show as it was fucking amazing to say the least.

Japan itself was spectacular to see, traveled around to a bunch of different places in Tokyo and out to Kyoto to do some cultural stuff. The people are super friendly and helpful when they can speak engrish !

also watched a Live D1GP Drift demo at the show with kawabata and saito plus 6 others and a team ORANGE demo (have vids aswell). i highly recomend the autosalon to anyone interested in JDM cars.

the downside was there were no events at the tracks for january, that just means i have to go again in the summer haha.

i took like 2200 pics on the trip so here are some decent ones from the Auto salon
onto some picssorry some are shitty, hard to get good pics with 100,000 people around)

Arrived at the Makuhari Messe convention centre a bit early. was there at 8am show started at 9am. shoulda read the ticket before leaving haha, this place was huge. 2 buildings with about 3 football fields of cars/booths in each aswell as an outside area with some demos and cars.


lots of r35's at the show

yes nailed it on the miata, i thought that thing was badass!


as for expenses, i work for the airlines so flights are cheap for me, but your looking at about 1k for flight, 300$ for a JP rail pass (a must buy if you are traveling around alot like i did, the trip to kyoto and back was 280 alone if i didnt have the pass. also have to buy before you leave Canada.)
i stayed in shinjuku for $100/night for 3 single beds, not a 5 star or even a 3 star by any means but i didnt spend much time there anyways. (its about an hour away on the train from the Makuhari Messe center where the show is held) i was also there for 5 days.
i found the key is to find a hotel near a staion (JR if you have the pass)

show tickets for one day were 20$, 30$ for a weekend pass i think.

and food prices are about the same as canada.

anything else just ask!
