Anyway, here is my attempt to document the strange, cool…and different cars (and bikes and motorcycles and scooters) they drive on the other side of the world…
And, on my very first day, I see the quintessential Japanese supercar:
Nissan Skyline GT-R:
Notice the side-view mirrors on the hoods of the taxi? Trust me, they need it...
Some weird Honda (I find myself saying that a lot these days)...
Absolutely no idea. If anyone has a clue, fill me in. All I know is that it has to ride like a go-kart...
Just one of many unusual bikes...
A Toyopet (what they call Toyota in Japan) limo car:
What it looks like when a Amerikajin gets on a bike (notice the mask; Japanese wear them out when they are sick because it is rude to breath, cough or sneeze on others - or in public - when ill).
The only American-made car I've seen since I've been here...
A little Ducati love. I'm thinking like a 2005 MTS 1000...
Is that a BMX bike on 2 snowboards? Yes, yes it is.
Some weird Honda...
I like to see that the art of jacking up your car isn't limited to rural United States...

Hi Nick -
Both Aunt Diana and I are enjoying your blog. Quite an experience and education in itself. In a very short time, we have learned more about Japan and the culture than we ever knew. Keep it coming we love it.
Relative to transport, we liked all of the fancy, sleek, expensive,fast cars. We have a 1987 Porsche 911 Cabriolet ready to challenge any contender. We have contacts in a port, close to your location, that would allow the offloading of said vehicle for the challenge.
Knowing your schedule, do not spend to much of your waking hours on the above. Be safe and enjoy. We look forward to your postings.
Love
Aunt Diana and Uncle Ken
P.S.Good news about the puffer fish.
