Join us on our journey of buying real estate in Japan, from recapping past property bids to officially securing the contract on the remodeled “garage house”. We break down the practical realities of moving to Japan, navigating Japanese visas, setting up utilities, and starting a local business, alongside essential Japan travel tips for driving in Japan, mountain snowboarding, and exploring Tokyo’s unique cityscape. We also discuss real JDM car culture through recapping our visits to UpGarage, SammitHQ, A-Pit Autobacs, and Yashio Factory, plus track plans for a Porsche 944. From overcoming Japan culture shock like strict waste sorting and ryokan onsen etiquette, to touring Tokyo’s Akihabara district and taking in views at Tokyo Skytree, this recap video covers everything you missed about our experiences traveling, driving, and living in Japan. Stay tuned for next week’s video!
