YYY's Rough Plan

• 24/03/2017: Arrive in Tokyo.
• Possibly do some stuff in Tokyo for a day or two (so that I can recover from travelling)? Meet up with James.
• Shinkansen down to Kyushu?
  • In some order: Fukuoka, Yakushima, Nagasaki?
• Shinkansen to Chugoku?
  • Hiroshima?
• Shinkansen to Kansai? Meet up with Dave?
• Shinkansen to Kanto?
  • Hakone?: fun2drive
    • Fun2Drive is the original JDM sports car entertainment company near Mount Fuji, only 2 hours from Tokyo. Conveniently located at a gateway to the greatest touges (mountain passes) in Japan, we offer the largest fleet of JDM sports cars from NISSAN: Skyline GT-R & Fairlady Z, HONDA: NSX, TOYOTA: Supra & AE86, MAZDA: RX-7, MITSUBISHI: Lancer Evolution, SUBARU: Impreza WRX, and more. Whichever JDM sports car you choose, experience it on a variety of touges in Hakone, a mecca of car enthusiasts in japan, while enjoying the stunning scenery of Mount Fuji, landscapes, lakes, oceans, etc…
    • Considering the Ultimate Hakone Drive in the GT-R R35.
    • If more people do it, then we can swap cars.

• Shinkansen to Kanto?
• 10/04/2017: Go home.
