TAS is a singular occasion that each Japanese tuning fan ought to attempt to attend at the very least as soon as in their lifetime. That’s simpler mentioned than accomplished after all, however worry not, we’re right here to convey 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 12 months’s shenanigans. In that point although, I’ve moved a good way away from Tokyo, and even additional away from the conference middle in Chiba.

I may have caught the prepare up, however road-tripping in Challenge Tough appeared like a a lot better thought. The lengthy drive would additionally be the right excuse to get my ER34 Skyline in tip-top form forward of time.
Nonetheless, life considerably bought in the way in which and the subsequent factor I knew it was time to make the journey to Tokyo. After all, I hadn’t accomplished any prep work.
I needn’t have apprehensive although, as a result of Challenge Tough carried out faultlessly on the drive, together with being caught in visitors for what felt like hours after a primary highway was blocked resulting from an enormous constructing fireplace.
Lastly checked in at my lodge, the smart 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 associates at meets, cruising, and after all, Speedhunting, so sleep was the very last thing on my thoughts.
Keep tuned for extra.
