TAS is a novel occasion that each Japanese tuning fan ought to try to attend at the least as soon as in their lifetime. That’s simpler mentioned than carried out after all, however concern not, we’re right here to deliver everybody alongside for the wild experience that’s Tokyo Auto Salon week.
After I say ‘Tokyo Auto Salon week’, I imply it. The event goes past the halls of Makuhari Messe as gatherings and cruises pop off in and across the metropolis.
It’s been three lengthy years since I final attended TAS, so I used to be itching to partake on this yr’s shenanigans. In that point although, I’ve moved a long way away from Tokyo, and even additional away from the conference heart in Chiba.
So I did what anybody else visiting Japan for Tokyo Auto Salon would do, and I booked a resort near the venue. I might have caught the prepare up, however road-tripping in Challenge Tough appeared like a significantly better thought. The lengthy drive would additionally be the proper excuse to get my ER34 Skyline in tip-top form forward of time.

Lastly checked in at my resort, the wise factor would have been to get some relaxation forward of an early-morning begin at Tokyo Auto Salon 2023. However TAS week is all about hanging with pals at meets, cruising, and after all, Speedhunting, so sleep was the very last thing on my thoughts.
Keep tuned for extra.
