I've got tickets to Japan next March 23rd 2010 - for a little over a week. Can't wait. Never been before, but have wanted to go for ages.

I am planning to go to Himije Castle, Hiroshima (maybe Miajima Island or Kinto Bridge), Kyoto, a bit of Osaka, maybe Kanazawa (samurai house, market and geisha streets), Asakusa (market), Akihabara (for electronics) and maybe Kashiwa.

I wont to know if there happens to be any big car events on the calandar at this time that I can check out?

Also, workshops or ANY other must see vehicular spots in the areas I am visiting?

Please can anyone help? I am trying to lock in an itinerary now.

Cheers.

Visit as many breweries as you can:

Asahi have a few breweries around - http://www.asahibeer.co.jp/english/companye/brewery.html

Kirin have one near Yokohama

They usually are 60mins long which includes a 20min session where you get to taste 2-3 schooners of beer for free.

I heard that Himije Castle is under construction and wont be finished till 2012 or something, some parts of the castle is under white canvas tarps so you wont see everything.

Miyajima island is pretty cool with all the deers and stuff. It's one station from Hiroshima and then cross the Ferry (Free if you have the JR Pass)

Dont forget the peace museum and atomic bomb dome, also the okonomiyaki-mura place where they have very nice okonomiyaki.

okonomiyaki-mura in Hiroshima:

Miyajima Floating Tori: (When the tide was low you can walk to it)

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
