Wanna go to japan

[deadpirate]

ou know you've always wanted to go!!

Formula DRIFT Team Super Autobacs is putting this out there to introduce a few of you to Tokyo Auto Salon, the tuning scene in J-Land, and Japan in general.

The package includes:

- Airfare to Tokyo from the US. (based on flight from LAX)
- Accomidation for 1 week
- 10-Day Rail Pass (all you can ride JR-line trains and the bullet train)
- Tickets to TAS (possibly be able to get in there for a peek before the public)
- Dinner with 2008 Formula D Rookie of the year, Michihiro Takatori
- Trips to at least 3 Japanese tuner shops
- Trips to major spots in Tokyo (Shibuya, Harajuku, Akihabara, etc.)
- Trip to Kyoto
- Copy of DVD Video of the entire trip done by Dead Pirate Productions

* Prepaid Japanese cell phones available at additional cost

We are aiming to make this the best trip possible so we're aiming for a small group around 10 people. This is to keep things smooth and make sure noone gets left out in anything. You will be given 100% guided support for this trip so no worries about language/food/transportation, it's all handled for you. The package basically covers everything except food and souvenirs for and entire week. We understand some people may wish to stay longer than this or leave earlier than this and we will work with you on an individual basis to adjust pricing accordingly. We have also recieved requests to rent a car and take a trip to the infamous Tokyo Wangan and we are taking that into consideration as well.

Price per person will be $3,000USD

50% non-refundable deposit required to secure your spot! Payment accepted by bank wire transfer, check, and credit card.

Tentative dates would be: January 7-14th

Please contact [email protected] with your name, age, and location

o shit i want to go. ill see if my brother wants in to.

[deadpirate]

do it! deal of a lifetime!!!!!!!!!!!

[Walperstyle]

if I can fly there for $508, can I tag along for the rest of it? I got a contact in Tokyo teaching english, and she's got a car. I just want 'in' on all the car stuff.

[spikNspan]

wow this is a killer deal for sure and might just give me enough time to get the cash. I really need to start brushing up on my Japanese as well so I can make this trip killer. Already know a few people in Japan so that would be awesome to see them if I could as well. Damn, maybe I'll just take out a loan if I can't save up enough by then, this trip sounds too good to pass up for sure.

[neverrain]

Is this something they are planning on doing every year around this time? Those dates are perfect if it happens in two years when I get my mandatory 30 day paid vacation. I would totally go then.

[norcal_black240]

This is actually not a bad deal. Plane tickets around January are getting more expensive. + hotel for a week, the hassle if you dont speak japanese to find all the shops, and a rail pass.

[0wn3r]

the package does not include airfare back?

[norcal_black240]

the package does not include airfare back?

Wow i didn't notice that in the description. I hope they would include airfare back to the states.

[deadpirate]

i will double check with Roo about the airfare back...but i believe it would


NEVERRAIN-i think this will happen every year

WALPERSTYLE-it costs us money to get into TAS and gas money to shuttle everyone around..i dont think it would be fair. but e-mail Roo and ask him

[Z33dori]

damn i wish i was in the market to do this..


will the y be doing it forever... or is this a once in a life time deal...

[ronmcdon]

great deal you got there!! cheapest I can find to narita (from lax) is usually 6-700. where did you get that fare if you don't mind me asking?

Otherwise, this seems like a super-fun trip. wish I could afford to blow 3k on a vacation. must be awesome no doubt with so much exposure to the motorsports scene in japan for a week.

[derux]

This deal is way better then the trip I went on last year.

[francogt1]

[deadpirate]

tell your friends!!!!!!! pass it around and let people know!!!!

[fliprayzin240sx]

Dont forget how hard it is to find a decent hotel in Tokyo around that time that wont butt rape you or not fully booked already at this point.

[boozels]

nice deal on a awsome trip
too bad i already planned a trip to tahoe
but keep us updated on any trips in the future

[slamed_s13]

I used to live in Sapporo Japan until I turned 13. I went to their public school and everything. I am half japanese and half black, also know how to speak Japanese :) To be honest it's a gift. I am slightly forgetting the language since I've been here for almost 6 years but I am trying to keep up with it by talking to my mom over the phone. Japan is a great place to visit if you're interested in their cars and bikes. I was planning on going back to Japan this winter to see my mom. Anyways, I had to introduce myself since I've lived there for 11 years, lol.

[deadpirate]

pass this info to as many messageboards as you can for me please...i would really appreciate the help

[BOROSUN]

[deadpirate]

bump!!!! spread the word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[J90lude]

If I only had the money:-/

[norcal_black240]

Did you find out if airfare is round trip or 1 way?

[shishcabobers]

i want.:-/

[Walperstyle]

great deal you got there!! cheapest I can find to narita (from lax) is usually 6-700. where did you get that fare if you don't mind me asking?

just happened to walk by one of those travel agent places. After all the fees it is closer to $700. But I'd be flying from Calgary, Alberta... which is a lot further from japan then many of you.

[palmdale_mob]

Dang that is so sick
I wish I was a baller so I could go
Kind of makes me want to sell my car, but not really
You guys better take a shit load of pics then post them up here

[deadpirate]

[deadpirate]

Er... So would one be staying with Roo?

we would be in a hotel, Roo would be staying at his place most likely

if roo were to stay at a hotel with the group, it would either be me sharing a room or he would be by himself.

why do you ask?
