Tokyo Auto Salon

Tokyo Auto Salon, one of the biggest motor shows in the world, is coming back to Makuhari Messe and will showcase modified and tuned cars. Think MTV’s Pimp My Ride, but more luxurious. The event isn’t exactly cheapo, but it’s a must-see if you’re really into cars/things you’ll never be able to afford. The event might not hit the insane visitor numbers as before (as high as 300,000) but you can still expect big crowds.

Note that the whole of the first day is open to industry and media only. Saturday and Sunday are both public entry days with advance tickets costing a flat ¥3,000. There may be same-day ticket sales at the venue, but this isn’t guaranteed, so get your tickets in advance.
