Tegiwa in Japan – Day 1: Omoshiro Rentals, Autobacs, Upgarage & Chasing the Sun at Mount Fuji<\/h3>\n

After 9 months of planning, a 14-hour flight, and bam! We were finally in the land of the rising sun, Japan. But this trip wasn’t going to be your typical tourist adventure. We weren’t here for temples or sushi (well, maybe a little bit of sushi). What we were here for was to discover the pulse of JDM culture and everything that went with it!<\/p>\n

Omoshiro Rent-A-Car<\/h4>\n

Our first stop? Omoshiro rent-a-car<\/strong>, a haven for JDM enthusiasts with a mind-blowing selection \u2013 Skylines, Supras, you name it. We’d booked the cars three months in advance. This is the timeline of when they open up bookings (from the date you want to return the car), so if there’s something particular that you fancy, you need to be on it with your booking! All you need is your domestic driving license as well as an international driving license too. Check out their website, here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The prices were respectable too, with the crash damage waiver and EDC card options ticked, the Evo came in at \u00a3280 and the Skyline was \u00a3600. This was from 11am on a Friday until 12pm on a Sunday. All that we had to pay for was fuel and toll road fees.<\/p>\n

Dave, our media manager, went for the iconic Evo 8, while Luke, Co-owner of Tegiwa, snagged the head-turning R33 GTR.<\/p>\n
