Who wants to goto Japan with me!

circuit theory · 03-04-2008, 02:29 AM

Of the people listed two were from TN so I went with flights out of TN for a quick price search. Keep in mind all of the listed flights have different travel windows. most of which are spring. A summer trip would be a bit more expensive but not way more expensive. A winter or fall trip would be similar pricing as to what you see here.

Keep in mind if it does not say taxes included then there is still about 200 - 300 in taxes and other charges that will be tacked on. From TN if traveling in a group I think i could find an airline to fly everyone for about 800 + or -.

Also don't feel like it is a huge rush to get on the list. The group can grow to large numbers but lets keep the list to people that are willing to commit and not back out of the trip.

This looks like a lot of fun, I'll definitely consider getting in on it.

I want to goto the Japanese Diseny land while we are there, I've never seen an Asian Mickey Mouse before.

Hey, is that a racist comment.. LOL!

If you are bringing your wife, I might bring mine

they could go do their own thing while us men go have some fun!!

WE3RX7 · 03-04-2008, 02:02 PM

Japan is definately on my list and I always wanted to do a shop tour and maybe get some parts myself.. but I've planned a trip to Ireland for 2009! Dunno if the GF will let me slip that one past her...

I'll follow the thread though...

Yeah so far the wife is planning on going, there are some things that I think she would enjoy such as some of the musuems maybe a few racing events, but she probley could care less about any of the tunner shops.

I was in Okinawa for a year in 95-96. Unfortunately I never was able to pick up the language. A friend of mine and I have been talking about it for a couple years, but it's never come to fruition.

If you're serious, then I'm serious. Week, 10 days, whatever. Week there, maybe a hop to Oki for me just for old time's sake. March and later is a perfect time for me so. I may still know someone out there too (Oki that is), but of course, that wouldn't help going to mainland.

As far as weather, those months are definitely good, though I was in the Pacific Ocean in January and was almost sweating that day.

Wives can be taken care of by dropping them off at the shopping district, or having them do something else girly. But that would only spare you a day. I am sure there are plenty of cool things for chicks to do in Japan, I just don't know what they are. Maybe RedR1 has some ideas

OH, RedR1, feel da burn

AbadR1 · 03-08-2008, 12:24 AM

Hey can we get a Japan tuner model to be our guide?

circuit theory · 03-08-2008, 10:45 PM

No

RATED RX-7 · 03-12-2008, 07:09 PM

Why not? ^^^

. Sound's like lots of fun, I would want to go, but don't know yet. Hopefully I can tag along with you guy's if all goes well, If that's ok with you guy's.

kynde · 03-12-2008, 08:33 PM

I planned on going in September for a month this year so I would be down. Would be nice to check out tuner shops and such.. even though I would be hanging out with the oldies :P. Brother has been living in japan for the last 6 months so he has the clubbing / parties down pat, but knows nothing about cars sadly.

My son went to school in Hiroshima for a year and spent about another 3 months in the country during other trips visiting his girlfriend Tomomi in Yamaguchi. He just interviewed for a company in Tokyo last month so it looks like he'll be moving back working as a translator for them or someone else. Can you say VISIT!!!! But I would love to go over there with a bunch of rotorheads!
