The best trip that I ever did in Japan was from Tokyo to Kyushu, around Kyushu then to Hiroshima, then to Shikoku Island (absolutly beautiful) then, kobe, Kyoto, Nara, Nagoya and back. The roads around Kyushu are pretty empty and fantastic, scenery in Shikoku is amazing thou.

 

How long did you spend on that trip Kye?

I would love to do that before I leave Japan ......

Do you speak Japanese?

 

Hi there James.

My Japanese is terrible.

the trip took 8 days in total, was fantastic but very expensive !!

Had a great blast down to Hakone Ashinoko skyline yesterday morning, will probably go down there this weekend also maybe on Sunday if you are interested.

I'm in Tokyo. So I am always up for some beers if we can arrange it. October is totally out for me, perhaps November?
A day out at Motegi is high up on my to do list. Whether it's karting, safety training or the driving forum, it all sounds good to me.
I received a S2000 owners forum event flyer too. Number of participants are limited to 24 and held about 3 times a year (from memory). The last one this year is October 19-20 (50,000 yen). Good to hear that the instructors can manage English. My Japanese is bad too. Looks like I'll have to wait until next Spring

Owning both the NSX and S2000 That's still only fantasy for me

 

I wanted to join the S2000 owners meeting on 19-20 but at the same time there is the NSX meeting in Suzuka, guess where I am going!!

Sure lets hook up in November, maybe arrange a tour somewhere if the weather is nice.

 

If you make it towards the end of November I could well be up for that ..... I have exams on the 17/18th (I think) so will be doing revision the weekends before that .....

 

Hi there James,
A friend and I will be going to Motegi for the weekend of 29/30 of November as there is a Honda festival on, vintage racing and all the old F1 cars etc, should be good. He ordered a new Integra-R last night, delivery in 3 weeks ..... if you want to join let me know.

P.S we'll most likely find a hotel in Utsonomiya somewhere for Saturday night and check out the local nightlife (if any.....)

 

I'll have to check on that one and get back to you .... my boss from Hong Kong is due here on the Thursday/Friday of that week .... when would you be leaving? Sat morning?

 

Yep, early saturday morning. I'll PM you my mobile number then we can have a chat about it next week or something, I can pick up a ticket for you from my Verno branch later.
