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 (for a fee).
- Put me down as interested - I guess the RX-7 would be my first choice --lmm
- Hakone?: fun2drive
- Tokyo:
- Shinkansen to Hokkaido?
- I have a vague interest in taking the sleeper train and going to the underwater station. Might well not be worth it in terms of the time though. --lmm
- Shinkansen to Kanto?
- 10/04/2017: Go home.
