Dopey's Japan Photo Diary

Recommended Posts

I just realised that I haven't posted up my Japan photo diaries here. With another trip coming up soon I thought I best start from the beginning.

Firstly, the photos from my December 2009 trip:

I've kept the pics to the bare minimum for the story but those on slower connections might want to go grab a cup of coffee.

Part 1

Finally arrived in Shinjuku at about 10pm and it was pouring rain. This was to be the theme of the Holiday really - I think I experienced all of Japan's December Rainfall during the days I visited.

1.jpg

Was quite buggered so after checking in, went down to trusty McDonalds for an Ebi Burger (Prawn Burger). I figured if I was going to eat McDonalds in Japan I may as well get something that I can't get locally, and can I just say GREAT SUCCESS! Ebi Burger is awesome! I wish we had these in Aus.

Retired back to the Hotel to watch some TV. Super Beaver, WTF? I sat and watched this in amusement for quite some time. Emo kids and some whack puppet with a funny voice.

P1000203.jpg

Woke up the next morning nice and early ready to go collect our first hire car. The weather was thankfully much clearer.

P1000204.jpg

We found a 24hr Cafe near to the hotel that was pretty good for fast cheap food. I opted for a Chicken Katsu Curry for breakfast. It was REALLY tasty!

P1000229.jpg

Ventured on to pick up hire car #1, which was a Mazda Alexa (3) 4WD. Gutless and horrid but easy enough to drive around town. First stop, Chiba Super Autobacs

P1000271.jpg

The car park was full of some pretty cool rides. I'm not sure exactly what this thing is, but I know it's a Daihatsu.

P1000275.jpg

I really liked this R32. It was absolutely immaculate inside out.

P1000278.jpg

Inside Autobacs was like Autobarn on steroids, and maybe acid too. There was lots of crazy stuff to buy! Unfortunately I was very limited on storage space for goodies so couldn't go ballistic in the air fresheners section like I wanted. Grabbed a few though, a couple of Hello Kitty ones too.

P1000285.jpg

They had heaps of bling accessories for your VIP car. Some were cool but most pretty gaudy.

P1000288.jpg

Next we headed for Crystal, took the wrong driveway though but found this beast hiding

P1000301.jpg

Crystal, ZING! There was a tasty white JZX90 in the garage being worked on at the time.

P1000305.jpg

I wasn't a fan of the new Work wheel design until I saw this stand. They look so hot in the satin black finish with the right size/offset to give dish and concave. Very similar to CE28N I think.

P1000307.jpg

These ones really stole my heart though, lol.

P1000309.jpg

This somehow found its way upstairs

P1000312.jpg

Yes please!

P1000313.jpg

Crystal had so many great things. Unfortunately a lot of what I wanted wasn't in stock so I came away with only a few parts.

Amongst all the crazy JDM vans you see the odd American one. This one had Watanabes I think - pimp

P1000320.jpg

I spotted this Crown (I think?) driving past. I'm probably alone on this one but I dig 2 tone.

P1000323.jpg

Next stop for the day was Up Garage. These guys have so much in the way of second hand parts. A few bargains amongst the lot but not much to suit my car that I don't already have. Plenty of wheels (this was about 1/3 of their collection on display)

P1000326.jpg

Coil overs galore, cheap seats in the background

P1000329.jpg

Exhausts

P1000330.jpg

This turned up as we were leaving, lots of vans like this in Japan. I'm a fan.

P1000335.jpg

Before I left, had to grab a drink for the road. Dr Pepper hell yes! The Up Garage vending machine plays music and makes broom broom noises, I like it.

P1000336.jpg

Battled the traffic and headed back to park the car up at the hotel overnight. Went for a quiet beer near the hotel with my mate. So many great beers on tap in Japan! This HUB "english" pub had the soccer on so we dropped by. Weirdly they remove the head from the beer though. Gimme my foam back dammit!

P1000357.jpg

Next morning I headed out to Yashio Factory to grab my pink bits for the Silvia. The workshop was pretty dead that day, a young girl and dude sat in the tiny office and that was it. They spoke no English so I relied on the very few Japanese words I know to grab the couple of parts I wanted. They had a nice 180 in pieces in the garage.

P1000362.jpg

Afterwards, I headed to Disney Land. Was kind of boring due to lack of awesome rides but there were a few cool ones. It rained half way through the day so everyone rushed for the shops. Couldn't buy much merchandise due to the human crush happening inside.

P1000369.jpg

Pepper Lunch was conveniently located near my hotel. I love Pepper Lunch!

Part 2

Sunday, Nismo Festival Day. We headed out nice and early for Fuji Speedway.

Here are a few of my favourite pics, there are many more (especially of car park cars) I will post into their own gallery on my webspace later when I have more time.

Maybe if I press some buttons.......... hmm nope... JDM Nav FTL. Luckily we had our own Navman with us which saved our asses many a time

P1000408.jpg

This was a hint that we were heading in the right direction

P1000413.jpg

The amount of nice cars that came flying by was crazy. Even a white NSX-R! I think my friend managed to grab a few more pics - I was on the wrong side of the car and it was too cold to hang out the window.

Mt Fuji was a good indicator we were going the right way. This Lancia HF Integrale was awesome! A girl driving it too, and she wasn't shy about giving it stick. Very quick little car.

P1000423.jpg

Ding ding ding! We have a winner

P1000441.jpg

Nice M35 Stagea

P1000445.jpg

There were many car parks and all full of gold. I took a few quick snaps on the way in of the cars near ours. These two GTRs were very tastefully done

P1000446.jpg

Old school love

P1000451.jpg

P1000456.jpg

A white Toyota Century. Only saw maybe 2 of these while in Japan, compared to hundreds of black ones.

P1000461.jpg

This was probably my favourite 350Z of the day. Was truly beautiful in the flesh.

P1000464.jpg

R31House had so many great examples on display - both on their stand and out the back in the parking lot behind. This wagon was tits - although it was hard to get a good pic of it.

P1000482.jpg

P1000483.jpg

The sticker on the front guard says it all

P1000485.jpg

I spied another hot wagon behind the R31House stand.

P1000559.jpg

This pipe near the rear wheel is interesting.......

P1000561.jpg

Bad ass transporter

P1000562.jpg

HKS had this beast on their stand. It was immaculate and had some really tasteful mods I could only dream of being able to afford.

P1000491.jpg

Gran Turismo fans might recognize this DR30

P1000498.jpg

This thing was so loud when they started it up I thought I was going deaf.

P1000640.jpg

The Godfather. Hako!

One of my favourite touring cars of all time - the Calsonic R32

P1000501.jpg

JGTC cars make our V8 Supercars look like a joke. They are so awesome in every way. Seeing them out on track was a true delight.

P1000507.jpg

I was too fat for many of these seats. True story.

P1000509.jpg

Rays reppin fluro pink rims on their stand

P1000513.jpg

INGS 370Z was very tidy. Subtle appearance ftw

P1000518.jpg

This R33 had me salivating....

P1000523.jpg

...as did this R32

P1000532.jpg

March (Micra) cup cars look like fun.

P1000541.jpg

For the Honda fans, a proper Civic Type R. Nice brakes.

P1000564.jpg

There were a few Z Tune R34 GT-Rs on display as you'd expect - including this one, the original Nismo Omori Factory Z-Tune Concept car.

P1000579.jpg

Hearing these four cars roaring around was great

P1000593.jpg

I think most of the 350Z S-Tune population came to visit

P1000606.jpg

There were quite a lot of 400Rs present, here's a couple

P1000618.jpg

Even Nismo 270R's made an appearance

P1000630.jpg

More carpark hotness...

P1000660.jpg

P1000673.jpg

P1000706.jpg

P1000718.jpg

Mad vans

P1000687.jpg

This is what's left of a 270R

P1000693.jpg

Saw a few Evo wagons. I like them, something different.

P1000714.jpg

Queen St branching out to Japan?

P1000737.jpg

Even a Smart ForFour can't escape modification in Japan

P1000741.jpg

Hardtop ftw

P1000742.jpg

Didn't get to take pics in all the car parks, I left it a bit late and a lot of cars had left by the time I got there.

Heading home we cruised alongside a real tasty FC3S

Part 3

Ok so next day I dropped back that nugget Mazda Alexa and decided to keep it real with the trusty JR Yamanote line

P1000759.jpg

First hit up Shibuya then walked through to Harajuku

P1000763.jpg

Hit up Burberry Black

P1000770.jpg

And Burberry Blue

P1000771.jpg

lol @ this store.. apart from my curious mates the store was filled with school girls for some reason :O

P1000777.jpg

Kiddy Land - Home of the Pedo Bear

P1000779.jpg

These things were leet, they link together to dance together. At about $25 each though, bit hefty

P1000781.jpg

LV had pretty lights... heaps of levels of stuff too

P1000788.jpg

Harajuku weirdos aren't there 24/7 unfortunately.. boo

P1000801.jpg

Anyways, next day I took a Taxi ride. This guy was a legend. I gave him the address in Japanese and I knew it was near by but it took him some time to find where it was (the Japanese street system is farked, most aren't named, it works off a grid system) Eventually he turned off the meter which had me worried but he ended up charging us only the basic fare!! Great guy!

P1000810.jpg

Arrived at destination..

P1000813.jpg

Well well well what do we have here

P1000816.jpg

While waiting for the keys I browsed the magazines in the waiting room, check this out

P1000818.jpg

Hit the road

P1000823.jpg

Need supplies... Apple Fanta is mad. Grape Fanta still rules though.

P1000832.jpg

Pedo Bear's cousin got his face on a lollipop made of chocolate

P1000835.jpg

Jumped back in and set the GPS for Mt Fujis co-ordinates. Tunnels are cool..

P1000850.jpg

Roads getting a little more interesting

P1000857.jpg

Had a refresher stop then jumped back in...

P1000868.jpg

P1000865.jpg

In case you can't see the sat nav above here's a crop

P1000865_crop.jpg

Didn't take any pics for a while..........

........

Time for some KFC

P1000874.jpg

Rocked up to some random park

P1000897.jpg

Nice view

P1000909.jpg

Park was really nice and peaceful. Heaps of Koi in the water

P1000915.jpg

Sun setting.. time to hit the road again

P1000923.jpg

Smelled this place from a mile away, just had to stop

P1000946.jpg

Yah

P1000950.jpg

Lots of confusion later and it was on like donkey kong

Fuelled up... hit the road again.. landed at Daikoku Futo

P1000990.jpg

Was a quiet night, not much there but lots of nice cars came and went that I didn't get pics of.

I heard this car coming long before I saw it... external gate roaring! It had a massive turbo. T88 I think.

P1000998.jpg

(excuse the shit blurry pic)

Headed home and parked up for the night

P1010003.jpg

Few spots down there was another one

P1010008.jpg

Next day when I returned to Premium Rent they had this waiting.. bit out of my budget :P

P1010055.jpg

So this is what you do - grab a box of them waffles, then go to AM/PM to grab a couple of cans of Asahi and some tubs of Haagen-Daas ice cream. Win.

P1010056.jpg

Went to the Aquarium

P1010148.jpg

It's pretty cool you go up like 8 levels or so and start off in a Rainforest type arrangement where you can see all sorts of things like otters and crabs, then you decend downwards into deeper waters.

P1010066.jpg

These things were huge, I want one for my fish tank

P1010082.jpg

The glass was dirty as, but I took a pic anyway - King Penguins! They are massive, and kick ass.

P1010093.jpg

Osaka Castle. Nice outside, good parks, bad ass motes, but inside is a bit lame since it's just like a museum and not built to replicate its original state of awesome.

P1010197.jpg

Next hotel I stayed at in Tokyo was more luxurious. Don't f**k with Robo-Toilet. This panel flipped down to even more buttons.

P1010243.jpg

The following pics are from my short break in Japan in June 2011...

1. Caught the Airport Limousine Bus from Narita, I definitely prefer this to the Train.

IMG_0263.jpg

2. OK WTF. Our hotel room this time has a Window between the Bedroom and Bathroom. Why on earth would you need this? I can only imagine it's some sort of Japanese Pervert design feature. Thankfully it also had a blind.

IMG_0268.jpg

3. Went to a random Tempura Stick place in Shinjuku on the first night. It's called Dan-Dan-Ya I think. So awesome. Yebisu Beer on tap, we smashed it down like no tomorrow.

IMG_0269.jpg

4. The Japanese guys next to us were awesome, they drank with us until the place closed. We won, by the way, because oldmate started falling asleep at the table. We went back to this place again on our last night there and the staff were so excited to see us! Stayed again until closing time.

IMG_0270.jpg

5. Shitty weather for most of my time there. Rain just wouldn't go away. GG Wet season

IMG_0274.jpg

6. Sushi Train time

IMG_0285.jpg

7. Harajuku

IMG_0316.jpg

8. Rich Kids

IMG_0320.jpg

9. Yakitori time!

IMG_0345.jpg

10. I think I've had enough random Chicken organs to last me a while.

IMG_0351.jpg

11. Freshly made Chicken Karaage was SO good

IMG_0363.jpg

12. Hired a Cube and went on an adventure. Decided to head towards Mt Hakone despite the heavy rain.

IMG_0371.jpg

13. Detoured into some back roads

IMG_0380.jpg

IMG_0405.jpg

14. Arrived at our destination, so foggy

IMG_0414.jpg

15. There was supposed to be a nice view

IMG_0420.jpg

16. Streams of hot water

IMG_0422.jpg

17. Yep, the smell certainly was unpleasant.

IMG_0429.jpg

18. We stopped at what I can only describe as JDM McDonalds. Place was packed with families, food was pretty average. Sushi Train was amazing though! You can order from the touch screen above, and your order will come out on a separate train type thing which is just below the screen. Below that is the normal Sushi Train.

IMG_0431.jpg

19. You put your plates down the chute and it totals your bill. Hot tea from the tap at your convenience.

IMG_0436.jpg

20. Random P.A. in the middle of the mountains

IMG_0442.jpg

26. Vending corner has everything you could possibly want. Except for Grape Fanta. And Dr Pepper. Grrr....

IMG_0468.jpg

27. Hangin' at Daikoku Futo P.A. waiting for the cool cars to arrive. There used to be a McDonalds here but it's gone now! Damn.. had to sit around outside instead.

IMG_0471.jpg

28. Nice n Simple. I like.

IMG_0511.jpg

IMG_0513.jpg

34. Just needs some lower suspension

IMG_0526.jpg

35. lol

IMG_0533.jpg

36. Think this was a 328 or 330 judging from the exhaust note. Definitely wasn't turbo and wasn't an M3. Sounded pretty nice.

IMG_0543.jpg

37. Lots of Corolla Wagons. That little nugget Civic got beached on the speed humps leaving, what a laugh. He had to get a bit of speed up and launch over them.

IMG_0544.jpg

52. This guy obviously likes Batman. I don't know how the hell this thing even stays on the road.

IMG_0649.jpg

IMG_0654.jpg

53. These guys battled it out all night with their super loud stereo systems. For those playing at home, the Odyssey had 8x 15" Kicker L7's in there (the round ones are just for show). It's no wonder the car has a few SPL competition awards, the thing shook the place bigtime!

IMG_0664.jpg

54. Nice JZX100 Mark II. Needs a bit better offset though.

IMG_0668.jpg

55. Chaser

62. Presidential Style.

IMG_0715.jpg

63. Lasers! Smoke Machines! This thing could deliver a rave anywhere you like.

IMG_0718.jpg

64. Supras. The Gold one was weird. Auto and LHD (US Spec car?) Was for sale also.

IMG_0722.jpg

65. Viper GTS. Filthy as.

Awesome photos mate. Glad I didnt see the fish in pic 83 when I was at Tsukiji: Dojou - a type of loach, they keep them as pets as well as eat them. Poor little fellas. Try the rice burgers at MOS burger they are awesome, way better than the normal burgers. Messy though. The Daihatsu kei car in the 6th photo is a Move (3rd gen).

OK, I'm back - didn't take many photos this time around due to a few reasons, mainly because I did a lot of shopping which isn't interesting photo material and also because the weather was mostly crap. So I've edited the non-interesting ones for something different. Wish I could have taken more than 1 week off work.

Tokyo Motor Show was very busy so couldn't take photos of everything

Mazda's current design themes are incredible, photos do the designs no justice.

I get the feeling that this is the eco-Z of the future

IMG_1777.jpg

BRZ was impressive but the perverts loved the chick more

IMG_1783.jpg

Subaru need to build this without applying ugly stick

BRZ wheels and ride height suck. I liked GT-86 version better

IMG_1796.jpg

Merc A Class concept looked quite sharp

IMG_1800.jpg

VW Bulli was very creative, the interior is very functional

IMG_1809.jpg

According to Daihatsu the car of the future is a box

IMG_1815.jpg

Shibuya as busy as ever

IMG_1841.jpg

Daibutsu (The Great Buddha) very impressive, worth the drive. Said my prayers, here's hoping 2012 is a better year
