Default japan trip (tuner shops)

hey guys i'm going to japan soon and i was trying to compile a list of tuner shops i should check out. last time i was there i was still young and not really able to travel around by myself. i will be in the greater tokyo area more specifically in the saitama prefecture (that's where my uncle and fam. live) i know the amuse facility is on the other side of tokyo bay i probably won't make it there but we will see. some other's near by are panspeed (rotary specialists) i believe topsecret is just north west of narita i believe. and one more on my list is MCR a huge nissan tuner.. so if anyone has some advice on places to go as far as cars goes i would gladly appreciate it. i also plan on hittin up akihabara again for some awesome electronics stuff.

you should check out Mine's. they're at Yokosuka. i would say it should be around an hour-ish away from Tokyo.

you got views because your thread title is so non-specific.

Go to Kreissieg. I think they are in Yokohama area. I visited during TAS in 2007. Amazing exotics there.
