I'm heading to Japan for work in mid November for a couple of weeks and wondered what Vw stuff I could take in while over there? I know I'll be heading to Flat-4 for sure but what else is not to far from the Yokosuka area.

Don’t know when just the mooneyes hot rod show in yokohama is.
But if you are there then think it is worth to pay a visit.

| Where in Japan are you going? I've been to Japan several times (military), and didn't see one VW at all. I did see a ton of traffic, lots of people, and just general chaos everywhere...I couldn't get out of there fast enough! |

I would contact Ashman40. He's been over there a while and may still be.

I've seen a few air-cooled VWs at random times on the streets of Tokyo. There's a very large car show in February, I think, at Pacifico in Yokohama. It's a Mooneyes event. I've gone twice and it's worth attending.
A visit it Flat Four like you're planning is going to be worth it. It's a small shop but there's a lot of rare old parts there that you can gawk at. Probably won't spend more than an hour there.
While you're in Tokyo I recommend going to Odaiba. There's a car museum there with mostly Japanese cars but a few days ago they had an early beetle and pre A 356 on display. |
