Some of you may know that I am staying in Japan for around 2 weeks... and with the bulk purchase thing going on, you guys may wonder how am I going to haul all the things back from the dealership to my service apartment..

Obviously I cant walk or take the Public Transit - Taxi is insanely expensive - so my only option is to rent a car. I went to Nippon-Rent-A-Car and so happen the they have is the GE6 - Type G (aka JDM GE8 Base Model).

Here are some photos I've taken while I was driving (not literally of course)...

I am planning to go to Odaiba tomorrow, I'll try to take some photos near Rainbow Bridge... If time permits, I may stop by Tokyo Tower and Maybe Shinjuku area just for the fun of it.

Here's the first batch of photos.. Enjoy and I must say, its AWESOME to drive around in Tokyo - including backing out of narrow driveways ><

*Note* The Fit is call a FIT because it can fit a lot of tsuff into its cabin while still able to navigate thru narrow driveways... it FITs =D

== (DAY ONE) ==

Interior of the JDM Fit Type G

*Note* Base still comes with Navi .. and ETC Setup - the small radar-looking-thing on the dash (For Highway use in Japan)







FIT MEET IN JAPAN?!?! @@
No... its just that they are EVERYWHERE~









Highway Scenes





City Scene - aka Traffic Jam

 

too expensive to live there

 

Base: AC, GPS, 4 wheel disc.
When will have all those goodies standard??

 

never because americans suck.. no one here wants to pay premium price for a small car like that here..

sweet pics! keep them coming!

 

Dude we should meet up.

 

You may dont have discs in four wheels and klima us we have in Europe but you have the 1.5 engine and we have the 1.3

 

I am leaving on Wednesday man~ WHere are you located? Im at Ikebukuro~

Gonna have to drive all teh way back to Saitama City to return the car tmr though~

 

That was quick, I am out in Kanagawa pref. close to Yamato. Wensday is too soon for me, maybe next time. I see form the pics you got to enjoy some light Tokyo traffic, Have you been in the rush hour suff?

 

Haha, i missed daytime rush hour but did NOT miss nighttime rush hour... I was heading back to Ikebukuro from Odaiba... stopped Tokyo tower for some photoshoot.. then my Car Navi start giving me a city tour by guiding me right into Roppoggi and Shinjuku.. at 10:30PM

I was the only NON-TAXI on the roads~ Stuck for a good 1 hour~!!

 

i like the Amber sidemarkers against the tidewater bluish color!

oh and why dont we have amber dashboard illumination again?

 

DAY 2 - Destination: Odaiba and Tokyo Tower (And got lost on the way back so drove by Roppoggi and SHinjuku)

Leaving Honda Dealership... narrow roads are the norm...



Stopped by YellowHat for car accessories



Going onto Highway - ETC Gates



Cruising on the highway thru the city core



OK Navi... which way??! @@



Another Interior Photo...



Rainbow Bridge



Fuji TV Station + Statue of Liberty (??)



Highway Junction @ Odaiba - Was on a chopter... cant help shaking =P



Driving towards Tokyo Tower



As Promised, Taking a photo of the Fit @ Tokyo Tower
*Tokyo is Bidding for Olympic Summer Games 2016*



Navi Error -> Took me into Roppongi (六本木) during busy nightlife hours

*According to wiki, Roppoggi is the best place to hookup Hot Japanese girls - but STDs,Nigerians, and ex-US Oversea Military Corps cause major problems there...*



Car Navi makes mistakes too... now I drove into Shuinjuku's Kabukichou (歌舞伎丁) -

*Another crazy nightlife area with ULTRA HOT Japanese girls - The only problem is, the places are run by Yakuza...*



Returning the Fit at Narita International Airport tomorrow before boarding my flight... more photos to be posted~

 

clean roads

 

man i wish i can go to japan... hehehe

 

Awesome pics

 

lol i see if anyone goes to tokyo its advised to stay away from the nightlife for fear of stds, nigerians and yakuza hahahaha

 

wish i had the money to go to japan, pics look great

 

Man I miss Japan. We did 10 days in 07 split between Tokyo and Kyoto, I timed it around the Tokyo Auto Salon (the best car show, even better then sema). I can't wait to take another trip to Tokyo this time I'm going to do like you and make my way around collecting goodies from Spoon Sports and etc.

So thanks for all the photo's
