Must do's in Tokyo

Had the opportunity to visit Flat Four in Tokyo on a recent skiing trip to Japan.
I can highly recommend visiting Flat Four if you get a chance - more of a Museum than a shop. The link below is a great article and has brilliant photos.

The No. 2 must do.

Go carting on the streets of Tokyo - what a Blast! There's just no way this would ever be allowed in Oz.

As for new VWs in Japan, their range is very similar to ours but they also have models that have been discontinued in Australia (Up!, Beetle), or never sold here (Golf R Wagon, Touran, Sharan). The VW Japan website lists the models, and you can find a VW dealer in Tokyo or elsewhere.

There's a VW Dealeship only a couple of hundred metres from Flat 4. They have really great merchandising all with the Wolfburg Crest as opposed to the VW Logo, which I thought was very interesting. Extremely expensive though

I like the merchandise with the different logo. They should offer both styles for people to choose from here as well.

Unfortunately, Maricar is getting sued by nintendo for copyright infringement. They are operating as normal for now.

Great post! I'm going to Japan in April and I was second guessing if I should go to Flat Four shop. I thought It was just a shop but it seems like an experience!
Thanks for the link!
