How much car stuff can you do in 6 hours on vacation in Japan?

- I often get messages and comments from people planning their trips to Japan, so I thought this was a great opportunity to play tourist for a day and see what's really possible. Feel free to ask qusetions below if you have questions about planning your own trip - I'm sure I or someone else will have an answer.
Most shops/stores open around 9-10:00am in Japan so plan for a later start in the morning (enjoy the 6 hours of nothing to do when jet lag kicks in at 4am, haha), but on the flip side most places are open until 7-8pm.
I live in Japan so the only real difference would be renting a car versus me using my own. And I'm sure you could really blaze from place to place and do more but this pace still allowed for conversation and enjoying the sites.
Hit up @jdmwheels.co for you new and used wheel buying needs from Japan.
Thanks for watching!

This would be a cool series!
Interesting idea! 🤔
What a cool video idea. I now know who to hit up for tour guide services when I make it out there!
Awesome to see the dc2 serving you so well now
Haha, yeah for sure! It's fun to get out and check stuff out and there's still so much I haven't seen.
It's funny you mention that because Shio was like, "is this a service people would actually pay for?" I always feel like the adventure is half the fun, but I'm sure there are people who want things planned out to maximize their time and/or some Japanese help to talk to shops or and car owners.
@@BRICKHOUSESPL people would definitely pay for that!
Thank you for the breakdown. When i was in Japan in 2016 I visited Spoon hesdquarters. Didnt get to go in as i realized they were closed on Sundays! But the Toyota museum was cool.
Ah yes, that's a really good point. Trying to figure out shop schedules ahead of time is always a challenge and then sometimes they're still closed when you get there (if they're a small shop).
So nice to see so many affordable used brand named parts in a retail establishment. Wish we had that in the USA like they do it in Japan. Would make it more convenient vs the craigslist/Facebook marketplace disasters.
We're gonna need you to do much more of these type videos. Like do this as a shake down series after you do big mods or repairs on the Integra. :)
Thanks for the content
Appreciate the feedback! I do want to get out and about more this year now that it is running.
UpGarage USA is getting ready to open in California. I just saw a post on IG mentioning it. But really depending on the item, shipping from Japan can't actually be pretty reasonable especially when you factor in the crazy exchange rate at the moment. And buying from Japan then opens you up to so many other options versus what's available locally.
This channel deserves more subs and likes!
Really appreciate that my man! I just need to up my clickbait game. 😆😆
Super useful info!
Thanks! Hope it helps someone out there planning a trip.
@@BRICKHOUSESPL definitely will be using it when we eventually make the trip, hopefully sometime this year
Great info. Japan is next on my list of places to travel to. I can't say I'm looking forward to navigating those roads, I have been told that the in-car navigation is better because it knows which elevation your on.
It's really not too bad. You just have to keep in good spirits if you make a wrong turn/exit. The mistakes are part of the journey and what you laugh about later. I'm sure the main rental car companies have English navigation for the in car systems so that might be better than constantly looking down at my phone. Haha. Good luck planning your trip!
interesting video
Something different - thanks for watching!
First time i'm seeing you in daikoku. Maybe plans for later to visit at evening/night? :)
Yeah, I need to get back at some point in the future now that the car is running.
So my co worker just told me bride and Recaro are the only 2 seats that pass shaken inspection. Have you heard this? Glad i didn't buy any seats yet. Although ill probably go Recaro anyway
That is true but what is technically true is the seat rail manufacturer has to match the seat manufacturer. Bride and Recaro both make rails and seats so they're the obvious answers.
I'm not sure if Juran rails and Tanida seats pass since they're both Tanida companies (and quality stuff) or if this was a lobbying move by Recaro and Bride to control more of the market.
Any chance you can make a similar video but in Osaka?
I'm going to Osaka with the family in May but I do want to take one or two days to myself to do something car related.
I need to get back to Osaka and do some looking around. I'm just not sure when I'll be able to make it happen. Just start searching by your preferred chassis and I'm sure you'll start finding shops in the area you can plan out visits to.
Hello do the recaro confettis bolt on with no modification onto the OEM seat rail of a DC2 Integra ?
Just responded on the other video. Appreciate the engagement for the algorithm though! haha
Hey, hit me up if you are ever in the Yokohama area on a weekend!
For sure - we'll definitely line up something! I'll email to get a plan together when I have a better idea of what's coming up.
Can you get to the car meet spot by train?
No. You will need to rent a car or ride with someone to get to Daikoku PA. Don't take a taxi. Taxi's won't be there to take you back. Daikoku is a private expressway rest area. It's not part of public transportation so you have to pay the tolls and use the expressway to get there.
@@BRICKHOUSESPL thanks for the solid info! I'm visiting next January with some friends and daikoku is on our list!
@@JustKyzuuh no problem - good luck planning your trip!
