If you’re reading this magazine, chances are you’ve dreamt about going to Japan on more than one occasion. However the language barrier, culture shock and complex maze of streets compounded by the isolated locations of the top tuners mean many will never get to sample Tokyo’s world famous car culture. A $400 round-trip taxi fare from Tokyo to Top Secret? That alone will be enough to scare most enthusiasts!
The Auto Salon team is proud to announce our 2010 Japan Tour, tailored specifically for the modifying diehard. With three years of planning, the Auto Salon Magazine 2010 Japan Tour takes you right into the heart of automotive mecca with unbridled access to the cars you’ve previously only been able to see in magazines.
Incorporating a two day visit to the headlining Tokyo Auto Salon event (including advanced Friday entry), comprehensive tours of six of the world’s best workshops and manufacturers, and access to Japan’s underground street culture, this most certainly is a once in a lifetime experience.

On the 2010 Japan Tour you’ll have two days to explore the endless rows of elite modified cars created by heavyweights such as HKS, JUN, RE-Amemiya and Top Secret. Be the first to see the latest 2010 developments for the new age of hero cars, such as the R35 GT-R and 370Z. You will of course experience the scene’s ‘race queen’ culture, where models have become so popular they’ve reached celebrity status in Japan.
WORKSHOP TOURS
On the trip you will visit no less than six best-of-the-best workshops, seeing firsthand how some of the most famous modified cars are built. Also included in the itinerary are guided factory tours, where our exclusive access will lift the lid on the build quality and product innovation that has made Japanese parts so desirable.
THE REAL TOKYO DRIFT
Forget the movie and Hollywood magic; let us show you Japan’s real street culture. Too hot to print, all we can say is that you’ll have the opportunity to witness Tokyo’s underground scene in person!
BUY PARTS!
This is your chance to buy some of the very best components for your car at jaw-dropping prices. That’s right, we’ve organised private openings at the same stores we use to source parts for our project cars! In addition to that, with select purchases you’ll receive exclusive discounts and tax-free shopping.
SHOPPING
When it comes to fashion, few cities can beat Tokyo. Whether your style is street, sneakers or brand name labels, Japan is the ultimate destination; famous for having the rarest colourways, JDM exclusives and limited edition releases. With a ‘free day’ included in the itinerary, we’ll be able to take you through the maze of streets to some of the coolest stores you’ve ever seen.
TOKYO NIGHT LIFE
Staying in ultra-trendy Shibuya means you’re right in the centre of Tokyo’s pulsing night life. Whether you want to experience an authentic izakaya bar, hit one of Japan’s famous nightclubs or just want a spot of evening shopping, we’ll be able to assist.
AT YOUR SERVICE
ASM’s Editor in Chief and the editorial team will be your personal hosts for the duration of the tour. Get to know the crew responsible the magazine as they show you the insider’s perspective on the world’s most famous car scene.
For those who prefer to travel light, you don’t have to miss out on capturing every moment of the trip as we’ll also have ASM’s resident gun photographer, Mark Pakula, covering the entire tour. At the end of the tour you will receive an exclusive set of high-resolution pro shots for you to keep forever. Complimentary of course!
Our translator – fluent in both English and Japanese – is also a knowledgeable car enthusiast, making ordering parts at any of the multiple workshops you’ll visit a total breeze. And if you want to buy bulkier parts don’t fret; affordable shipping can also be organised!
On your free day, take advantage of our translator’s knowledge of Tokyo. Whether you want to go sight-seeing at traditional temples, view Tokyo’s stunning skyline or even if you want to witness the Goths and cosplay at Harajuku’s infamous Jingu Bridge, we can help!
