Tokyo In November

[LEANBAC]

hey peeps

my and my mrs are thinking about coming to tokyo JAPAN!!! for a week in november 2011

i havnt been to japan before, nor do i know much about what goes on in japan.... SO MY QUESTION IS.... should i go in november?? or go a later date?? should i stay in tokyo?? I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A MOTORSPORT EVENT drift, drag, super GT... OR a nismo festival or a HKS DAY and do all the ''tourist' things aswell see all the cool things japan has to offer

SO MY QUESTION IS

1: is there any motorsport events on around the 1st or nov till the 8th?? and how far from tokyo??

2: should i come another date? EG: cause tokyo festival is the month after? or something.. ( if there is a festival massive guess)

3: IS TOKYO THE PLACE TO STAY? i want to see all the flashing lights, people, lifestyle.... and also the old japan, gardens, buildings,

any help would be great!!!!!!... even a link with dates on festivals

Put it off a month and you'll be rocking in around Nismo festival time and if you time it right also Rev Speed time attack at Tsukuba.

Nismo festival will be on 4th December at Fuji Speedway.

Revspeed is usually the following Friday.

Nismo festival link translated : http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=ja&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nismo.co.jp%2Fnews_list%2F2011%2Fevent_information%2F110005.html&act=url

Tokyo is good base as easy to get to and fro plus yep plenty of bright lights, people and plenty of old Japan about to keep you busy.

Getting to Nismo Festival and Tsukuba can be done by public transport but your way better off hiring a car, for a week you can get a little K car for under 4000yen a day.

Also Jetstar just put up Japan ticket sale today ..tickets starting at $299 each way.

I'm actually looking at setting up a 7 day tour around that time with workshop tours , Rev Speed day, Nismo Festival Day, some cultural tourism and couple of nights at at some friends Japanese bars and clubs.

I'll be posting up some more info regarding all this next middle of next month.

Hope this all helps..

ive been to japan dozens of times and lived there for a while too and i still have fun everytime. even if you didnt see any motorsport events you will still have a phat time. there is an endless amount of things to do especially in Tokyo

if your going early november there is a special super GT event ( Fuji sprint cup) on the 12 &13th.

i'm heading over there from the 16th november.

Super GT is awesome to watch. one of the best motorsport events i've been to in japan was super GT.
