Seconhan Autobacs, Tokyo And Other Address's

[killabeez]

Whoa,

Just finished going over all 25 pages in the Japan thread for my trip tomorrow morning, geez theres heaps of stuff there which has been covered like 5 times already! Anyways Ive decided to check out upgarages and other shops but I realise theyre pretty shit. Ive used the web page translator and have got heaps of addresses and such but cant translate the seconhan autobacs pages, as far as i can tell they have different shops with specialist area such as seats, engine enhancements, wheels etc- but I dont know which ones are which and what theyre address' are. could someone who reads Japanese please help me out.

Im mainly looking at going to:

Tokyo:

Upgarages

Seconhan Autobacs

Hasegawa

Big foot

Crystal

Wreckers in Tokyo area

Also are Nengun and Greenline 2nd hand shops??

Osaka:

Trial

Wreckers in Osaka area

If anyone has directions to these places that would be great, upgarages have been covered though. When im done with my trip ill write up address' and directions to these places and info on what was there and if it was a bargain etc- and maybe someone could sticky it so it would be easy to find for all other Noobs like me.

Cheers

anyone please??

Just print out the map and addresses from their website and ask in the hotel for directions. We have always used this trick when travling in Japan.

FYI Nengun and Greenline are now 'shops' - They are online businesses only

Its a lot better than mine ( non existant). What i do is i give a printout of the place i want to visit to someone at the reception of my hotel. The go to their online map and print it then use a highlighter to show me the best way of getting there. If for some reason i get lost i just call the same person at the hotel, tell them where i am and they guide me there.

All you need is a car and a phone, you do get stuck in traffic though so allow plenty of time. The fact that you speak even little Jap is a great help, especially if you can read .
