Cool Porsche stuff in Japan?
I'm off there for three weeks, split between Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It's been fifteen years since I was last there, and in the interim Flat 4's moved from Meguro to Yokohama, which makes it a bit more difficult to visit. I'm probably going to visit Porsche Ginza, plus a few more mad JDM places in that area, but has anyone been recently and experienced anything worth experiencing Porsche-wise?

Yokohama is about 45mins (maybe less) from Tokyo. Very easy to get to

You’re probably already on Speedhunters but they keep a close eye on the Japanese car scene and have a correspondent there full time. You could do a search on Speedhunters to see what they have covered Porsche-wise. These also the PA culture which has some amazing stuff so head for Daikoku

Daikoku seems impossible to get to without a car, which is a shame. I think I've read everything Japan on Speedhunters as well!
