Japanese License Plate And JDM Parts here in Japan.
Konichiwa,
I decided to post this here instead of posting it on "Asia" section so I can hopefully get a faster response. I only have a few days left here in Japan and I'm going to Tokyo tomorrow. Google really is no help for me at this time.
Anyway, I just have a simple question.... where on earth can I buy JDM parts, even as simple stickers that are mainly "japanese style" and more importantly "japanese license plates".
I know I can get them via Amazon. But since I'm here, I'd really like to get a close-up look and get some "great quality" items.
Find a SUPER autobacs or regular autobacs store. You will be amazed, it's like the lovechild between a autoparts store, JDM tuner and walmart. They have quite the product range form replacement bulbs to full on coilovers and race tires on display. I have been to the ones in Nagoya, Yokohama and Tokyo. Eeven if you don't buy anything it's fun to check out while in Japan.

Have you checked out local car accessories shops ? Yellow Hat, Autobacs etc. You probably can't find these shops in Toyko city, but in a little more country side near "Tokyo-to" area.
I made it to "Autobachs" and this place truly is big! I told my girl I'll be there for half an hour but that turned into at least almost a 2-hr visit.
I ended up not getting any for my Japanese cars. I did get something for the German side which is a Carlsson emblem which I believe has been sitting on their display case for years and the price was even better even if I would have ordered it directly from Carlsson's website.
I didn't find what I was looking for, at least at this store that I went to in Koto, which was the Japanese License plate. Upgarage might be a better place to grab some of those but it is quite a travel and I don't have that luxury at this time. Anyways... here are some random shots!
BTW, those IS-F shift ***** runs approx. 40-50 U.S. Dollars. Not too bad. Any of you guys want one? =)
I was gonna say try Up Garage.. I was stationed there in the mid 2000's and would spend hrs in there just looking.. also gave them tons of my money for my old school Supra!!
