I can afford a trip to Japan now and I want to go within the next year, but I would like some advice on planning my trip so I come here to ask a few questions.

- Where is a good area to stay where I can relatively easily access tracks and shops, such as meihan/ebisu/bihoku and up garage/other tuner shops.
- Depends on which track. Most of the tracks are a few hours away from Tokyo. Hardest part is always getting from Tokyo, specially for somebody who doesnt know their way around and doesn't speak japanese. I say you're best bet is find somebody who's gone before and go with them.

- What is the best time of year to go and what is a decent amount of time to stay to enjoy as much as possible.
- Stay until you run out of money. Between hotel room, food, transportation, track/rental fee, alcohol...you'd be a pauper real quick.

- Is it easy to rent a missile, I drift here in the states so I have experience but would love to experience grass roots in the mainland.
Just spoke to Jesse Streeter and told me power vehicles is a good place to rent from, will be contacting them.

I think that's all the questions I have, thank you in advance for any answers you have.
- Go jump in facebook and look up Gaijin Smash. Alot of those guys are folks who used to or still live in mainland and goes up to Drift Matsuri every year. A few either has a track slut in Ebisu or rents one out. It would be a great idea to either jump in with one of them or they can atleast show you the way.
