On our quest to see new things in Japan, we arrived in Fuji at the brand new Fuji Speedway Hotel! This scenic, and epic, hotel is situated right on the premises at the famed Fuji Speedway. This place has an incredible racing heritage so it only made sense to have a full collection of Japanese racing vehicles inside the hotel! “The Unbound Collection” was a sight to behold and the hotel itself was filled with some many fine details that every car enthusiast could appreciate. After exploring the hotel thoroughly and staying an evening there, we made our way back to Tokyo to visit Spoon Sports Type One. It has been a couple years since we have been back to Type One so we were excited to see what was new.

First Time At Fuji Speedway & The Tokyo Underground Meet!!…
Here we go! The day after Tokyo Auto Salon, I decided to skip day 2 and head to Fuji Speedway for a drift event. Normally I’d go to the show but I’ve never been to Fuji Speedway before so I wanted to get a look at the famed race track and see something I normally wouldn’t have the opportunity to. Sara is very much into drifting so she wanted to see what grassroots drifting in Japan was like. I’m always down to see new car stuff so off to Fuji Speedway we went. After that, we regrouped with friends down in Shibuya for the Tokyo Underground meet hosted by Sara and some friends from Level One Japan. She wanted to gather all the S2000s together so they were specifically parked in their own section of the meet while the rest of the underground parking garage was filled to the brim with both tuning cars and enthusiasts. It seemed like everyone from Tokyo Auto Salon gathered here after the show and the meet was an incredible success!

Haven’t really checked-in on what has been going on in the Japanese tuning community so I thought I’d bring you guys some coverage of the 2012 Slammed Society event. I believe Fatlace called this their “Hellaflush Japan” show last year but changed it over to “Slammed Society” to cater to […]
