Can anyone make any suggestions for where would be the best place to stay if say you were to come to Tokyo a couple of days before TAS, and then leave a couple of days after?

Plan is, I will be going to TAS on the weekend, but also want to be somewhere where I can also visit a few workshops and parts shops as well.

Any help or suggestions you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :O

Unfortunately, the best shops (or at least the most famous ones) aren't all located in the same area. Some are located out in the sticks, while others may be in the city.

I'd say find a hotel that you can afford, near things you want to see or do (or at least in the same general region) before coming. If you want to be near TAS, then you'll want to stay somewhere in Chiba (like Makuhari, Tsudanuma, Chiba, or Funabashi). Otherwise, if you don't mind taking the train and would rather be in Tokyo, there are plenty of good spots all over the city. I've used business hotels in the past and they've been fairly good for what you pay.

Good luck!

just find a hotel very close to a station on a JR line. or try the new otani in makuhari if you want to be close to auto-salon. it's supposed to be very nice. but be aware that auto-salon (makuhari) is no where near tokyo city. it's about 1hr train ride.

You're all gonna laugh probably, but I got lazy and decided to stay in a great business hotel I stayed at last time near Roppongi. Thing is though, I am gonna be there for about a week (with the TAS weekend in the middle of my stay). And as you mentioned Beer Baron, it's a couple of mins walk to a train station. And I don't mind the trip to TAS, I think it's best to be staying in Tokyo so you can go out at night and do stuff.

Now, who's keen to go out for some food and drinks in Roppongi one night with me? :)

Best is to stay in central Tokyo. It is easy enough to get to Nismo, TS, etc from there.

Always up for a night in Roppongi. :)

We are going from 10 to 18 of January.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.

      Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
