Default Anyone been to Japan?

Going to Osaka, Hiroshima, Tokyo next week for some R&R or some Party & Party

Can anyone recommend some must sees, I think I've got most of the sight seeing things planned out but want to check out some things to do at night etc... Are any of the race tracks ie. Fuji Speedway, Tsukuba or shops worth stopping by? I hear there is a cool car gathering in or around Tokyo on the weekends that is always an event.

TIA,
Joe

lived there for 8 years, but don't know from the point of the tourist . If you like electronics, Akihabara is a must.

I was just there last week. Super Autobacs in Odaiba is a good place to check out aftermarket parts. Check out the Honda Collection Hall if you can. You can see Asimo at Honda Welcome Plaza. If you are in Japan during the Tokyo Motor show, definitely go see it!

i was there this summer.. lots of eye candy.. you will see many girls dress like barbie and cosply as everyday wear. In tokyo,go to Akihabara for your maids bar and sex shops and Kabukicho at night. So stay in a hotel in shinjuku... When shopping, things there are about the same price here except you get more variety.

Osaka is nice as downtown shopping is all covered. They also have the best Okonomiyaki there.
If you are in kyoto you must visit katsukura for tonkatsu..
It's all about food and girls.

Super Autobacs is pretty cool to check out.
It's weird seeing Recaro, Volks, Work on shelves like @ Canadian Tire.
Lots of used goodies, too.

As for going to the race tracks, I tried when I was there, but it's too inaccessible without a car.


PS: If you get drunk and miss the last train, go to a Karaoke bar, rent a room for the night and keep drinking until the first train in the morning. It's cheap and all the locals do the same
