I'm heading to Japan on a short trip, I am just wondering where in Japan can I find jdm/car stuff for the fit. There isn't much I want to buy but I would love to check it out while I'm there. Preferably in Tokyo area. The axis shop I want to go to is 4 hours away from tokyo, I would love to grab a set of their LEd tail lights, but its just too far. Does anyone who's been to Japan know where else do they sell them?

 

Guinness might reply when he sees your post Blackvitzrs. Otherwise, you can PM him.

When are you leaving? Have a fun filled and safe trip!

 

there is a place called up-garage on the outskirts of tokyo that sells all sorts of new and used jdm goodies but the best thing to do is BUY A HYPER REV MAGAZINE!! they have every tuning shop that deals with fits in the back of it and all of the addresses are in japanese so you can bring it into the cab with you and point to where you want to go. just be careful because taxis in tokyo cost an arm and a leg!

 

Konnichiwa
Sayonara
Kanji
Mizu

 

best thing to know how to say in japanese is

sumi massen (excuse me)

anata wa eigo o hanashimasu ka (do you speak english)

 

Where abouts are you going to stay in Tokyo? I was at Ikebokuro area and I have dealings with The Central Area Dealership there.

 

hahha or you could just ask them in english.

 

i'll be staying near shinagawa station. I have no idea, first time there, don't speak the language, don't know the place, i'll be so lost. lol

 

or better yet, who has a hyper rev mag that i can borrow?

 

lol, go get one at Yaohan!

 

thats where i stayed!! at the shinigawa prince. awesome hotel, just dont eat mcdonalds everyday. they have one pretty much in the hotel.

 

i'm staying at the hotel right beside the shinagawa prince, mine's called the grand prince new hotel takanawa. what a mouthful. haha

 

haha what's re point
If he doesn't know where to go in japan
he prob won't understand anything in hyper rev

 

well in hyper rev they have the spoon (type one) headquarters and the j's headquarters as well as many tuning shops that carry everything. for a honda enthusiast, having a hyper rev in japan is like having a bible in church ESPECIALLY if you dont speak any japanese.

 

Blackvitzrs, are you going to Japan alone? If so, maybe you should invite Guinness to go with you. He should be an excellent traveling companion and he has Japanese friends to take you around.

 

I'm going there with my friend. We are only staying there for 4 days. That is why I do not want to spend 8 hours to sit on a train and go to the Axis shop.

 

Well, if you manage to get the technical manager from the Honda Dealership and "pursuade" him to get parts for you, then you should be able to get the items the next day. You have to pay first and items are non-refundable.

The dealership I went to is located Northwest of Ikebukuro. I cant remember which bus to take from Ikebukuro East Gate but its NOT TOO FAR by Taxi and its not gonan cost you an arm / leg. Afterall, you only need to take teh Taxi once, and once thats done, you can take a bus back - assuming you can read chinese characters.

If you want to buy GE parts, use JDMChris's Part nunber list, that list WORKS.

PM me for the address. and If you DO plan to go to the dealership, I can send u a photo I've taken with the manager there, it will DEFINATELY refresh his memory and help ur parts ordering a LONG way~
