The Toyota Automobile Museum in Nagoya is worth a visit too. Toyotas, but all japanese makes, and plenty of awesome condition US and European cars on display too (2 stories tall).

Those are 2 good historic places.

Tokyo Auto Salon is worth checking out in early January, and most of the "tuning shops" are in Yokohama, Tokyo, or Chiba. (I.E: R-Magic, Scoot Sports, RE-Amemiya, Knightsports)

I was going to go in January as well, but looks like change of plans of friends in Japan, lack of being able to find work, might put it on lockdown for good.
Ok, thanks for the info. I will have to look to see if I will be able to get
near any of those area's. I'll be in Osaka. But she will be working some
of the days that I'll be there. So I'll have some time to kill. Thanks again,
Luke
