*LOACH* Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 website has been updated..... can't wait. been wanting to go for a lot of years now, but we have avoided going to Tokyo in Winter... Tokyo isn't too cold in winter, it's Hokkaido (which has already had snow) and the mountainous areas like Nagano that you have to be careful of.

Ha Roach you obviously never been at Fuji Speedway late Janaury with freezing cold wind blowing off Fuji...F@#king cold mate and Ive lived almost 10 years in Hellkaido. I'm in Hellkaido now at my house in the mountains and it snowed last night. Tomorrow is supposed to be a nice day so I'll get some snaps. perhaps... although I was hoping to get to the Skyline Prince museum this time, but it is closed during winter Mate watch the food you eat as there is a lot of contaminated stuff about. Dont be afraid to ask where your meat or veggies are from and if from some of the hot spot areas, give it a miss. Jap goverment is still being extremely sly on a lot of stuff in regards to radiation so just be wary when eating out and its a good idea to buy bottled water and drink as much Sapporo beer as you like.

*LOACH* Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) I think someone had a few too many Sapporos before he wrote his post Fuji Speedway is 100 ks from Odaiba - while it does snow in Tokyo occasionally I walked to TAS from the station in a jacket and jeans last year and was fine - no need for a beanie or thermals. looking forward to the photos - never been to Hokkaido Edited October 26, 2011 by *LOACH* Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/379330-tokyo-auto-salon-2012/#findComment-6080768 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where Fuji is and know that Tokes can and does get cold and especially coming from an Oz summer it can be a bit of a shock to the system. Yep no need for thermals but when the winds out of the N-NW it can be quite crisp and brass monkey weather. I've seen snow in Chiba. A few safe sappy cans on the way and a few nips of Jack stashed in your jacket should keep you plenty warm when watching outside events. Didnt go last year events but been to plenty of Tas's before. 50/50 if I'll go this year but going to Tokyo Motor show in a few weeks, then Nismo and then Rev Speed @ Tsukuba Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/379330-tokyo-auto-salon-2012/#findComment-6081340 Share on other sites More sharing options...

*LOACH* Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 i dont understand that. yes mabye in poorer countries. but i've been drinking tap water from japan. i honestly cant see any diffrence between them. Because of the f*kushima disaster. Check elrodeo666's link in the "6 months on" thread. Radiation is still being detected in prefectures around the plant. I drink bottled water when in Tokyo but not in Chubu. You are right about the taste though, I can't tell any difference between the water in New South Wales and Japan.

GOD12A Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Heya all I'll be there for TAS 2012, flying out Saturday night as it's my last day in Japan (after 3wks). I'm completely free from the 9th till the 14th and would like to check out some car stuff like Nissan (I own a 32R), Toyota (I'm in production management and they are world leaders in lean manufacturing), Mazda (owned a tidy and tough RX3 and spent 15yrs playing with rotors) Beer in Japan anyone??
