Hey dale,
I can check a map, but I go into IZU prefecture a lot in the summer and Shimoda area, anywhere near you? Any other VW guys around there? You go to any of the meets?

Sorry for the late reply. Yep Mishima is at the neck of the Izu peninsula. Are you in the service at Gotenba? Not much of a bus scene here although there is a bit of a following in Yokohama. They often meet though its a bit far off for me. Look at a few of the local VW magazines or check with a shop. They'd know best when something is on. I always seem to find out too late. Catch ya round.

Hey,

I'm a gaijin in Japan too. I haven't logged in here for a while.

I live in Toyama-ken (opposite side, near nagano, ishikawa, niigata...), been here for 4 years, been driving my Beetle for 2 (but I'm a Thing chick at heart, that's what I have at home in Canada-land).


I recently did a road trip to Wakkanai, Hokkaido, with three road bikes strapped to the roof rack. Three blond girls in a red Beetle in Northern Japan...


We have a show coming up in Toyama on Sept 10: Volkswagen Meeting 2006- sponsored by Bug Works.


I was in Kawagoe, Saitama-ken in June for a swap meet and have been to a couple other events, but I want MORE!!!

p.m. me if you'd like my contact info, it's always great to meet new people over here.

Hi all. Been living in Japan a while (over 10-years), but just got (back) into the ACVW scene. Bought a '75 1200LS Beetle a few months back (Red one like thingchick's). Still adjusting to the differences between LHD and RHD.

Anyone know a good junkyard for classic VW parts in Japan?

I went to Japan for a month while I was in the Army (25th ID - 2nd Brgd. - Hawaii). Can't remember the name of the base we stayed at but there was a really cool Beetle that looked just like your friend Kazz's! There was a very nice view of Mt. Fuji. That and the cool Beetle is about all I can remember from that time. Oh and also the Sake shots... ewww! Surprised

Sorry to drag up an old post, but if anyone can translate something for me from Japanese to English, please send me a PM. It's very short, and yes, it is VW related. It's still in kanji? form, so I can't just type it into an online translator. Thanks,
