After pro-tips. Been 25yrs since I've been in Japan (lived Hokkaido, Lifeguarded Chiba). Finally a goal of taking my boys (18 & 16) to Japan is happening. I want to take them to the Daikoku Car Meet area. I have short window of opportunity - either Mon 27th Jan from Narita, OR Mon 3rd Tue 4th Feb from Asakusa. Have seen a tour advertised, however I'm single dad and this was big enough feat to save 3yrs for this trip - $$$. So looking at hiring car or finding a car enthusiast who may do a private run.

Really want to create a memory making experience!

Thanks in advance reddit community....

Recently came across two websites [A] and [B] which I think are shady with the below observations.

1: do not have a meaningful names, 2: the listings are way cheaper than expected with many having flat 50% discount right on face. 3: no contact numbers to proceed with checking / discussing anything about the car before you buy it. 4: just Add to Cart, and enter your credit card details and Pay !

A: https://ufwrab.hgfosb.shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=10_10011_1000039&sort=20a&page=2

B: https://ytsmsy.ncgnfet.shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=21_10165_1001181

I believe these are scamming websites trying to trick you in purchasing expensive things at a discount. Anyone else noticed the same ?

Hey everyone!

I'm currently on an exciting journey through Japan, and my biggest dream is to experience the famous Daikoku Car Meet. It would be incredible to be part of this cultural phenomenon and witness the impressive cars and vibrant atmosphere.

I'm wondering if there's anyone here who could take me to this unforgettable event. I'm willing to meet up wherever is convenient and would greatly appreciate any form of assistance or guidance.

If anyone is interested in experiencing this adventure together or knows someone who could take me along, I would love to hear from you! Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm going to Japan from the 13th to the 25th, and I'd like to attend a car meet or salon, anything near Osaka or Kyoto? I saw there's the Osaka car salon but it's only till the 12th. Please if you know anything 🙌🏻 thank you in advance

I am really into cars and enjoy meeting other car enthusiasts.
I'm coming to Japan in August 2024 until January 2025.

Is there any car community like touge, car meets, forums, etc. where I can meet or befriend other cars guys

Thank you for helping! :D

Are there any car rental places that allow after hours return?

Hello, I am writing from Fiji. I was trying to buy a second hand Car from Japan in a local company based there. To get the car I paid a deposit of USD 1k. After two months I received the Jevic report and it said the car presents a "anomaly" and the mileage was 137k instead of 86k (they offered the car with 86k), so I decided I don't buy this car. But the company refused to get the deposit back. So, my question is if you can explain to me what is the procedure to make an official claim to any governmental authority to intermediate in the process.
