Upcoming Tokyo/Osaka Trip Advice

[narita]

Afternoon gents,

I am off to Japan for my second time in november, A week each in both Tokyo & Osaka.

Sadly the only car related store i visited last time was Autobacs.

This time i have a few objectives:

- CAR MAKE CORNS
(does anyone have directions)

- UPGARAGE
(most convenient location close to transport would be best)
(can they organise shipping for large items to Australia?)

-Would like to find an ARC distributor as i would like a few knobs.
(WHERE??)

- Generally looking for roadster specialist shops and other cool general car stores.

I hope i have posted this in the correct section and i thank you in advance for your help.

Try to get hold of Kolbotn, he was at CMC and a few other places a few years ago.

Pfunk lives near Tokyo. He may have some good suggestions.

UpGarage should have no issues shipping to other countries, they have that option right on the website. I don't really know about car attractions, I spent all my time looking at normal tourist stuff.

I went to Mugen, outside of Tokyo, it was a long train ride, and a long cab ride to get there, but really cool, also stopped by a Mazdaspeed dealer, and then we hit a small Roadster Shop near Tokyo, I don't recall which one (it was a long time ago), but they did not speak any English so make sure you know the language or bring someone to translate!

Are you hiring a car or relying on public transport?

[narita]

Thank you for the replies so far,

I am relying on public transport.
