Tokyo Motor Show

I went to the Tokyo Motor Show on November 5. It was held at Tokyo Big Sight from October 27 to November 5. It was the 45th meeting this time. The Tokyo Motor Show began in 1954. Many people visited, not only from Japan, but also from overseas. There you see the manufacture's new model cars and motorcycles. Also, if you can make a reservation, it's also possible to test drive new model cars. However, the test drive was so, popular I couldn't get reservation.



NTN booth

At this event I found a very nice booth. It's a parts manufacturer of the NTN company. This manufacturer mainly makes bearings. Bearings are parts for smooth rotation in cars and motorcycles and more. It seems that 150 bearings are used in a car. At this booth I was able to experience making a bearing. I was surprised that simpler than I imagined. This experience was interesting and it was a good experience. I am interested in bearings due to this experience.




Yamaha YZ450FM (for racing)
Suzuki GSX-R1000R (for racing)
Toyota YARIS (for racing)
Nissan GT-R (for racing)
This was my third Tokyo Motor Show, but I was not satisfied, because the size of the event is getting smaller and there were few attractive cars. For that reason, visitors are also decreasing year by year. I hoped that this industry will be more exciting, in the future centering on domestic manufacturers.

"Mizo Otoshi" Have you read "Initial D"? I'm a fan of "Initial D". It's a famous car manga. It was published in 1995. The main character is "Takumi Fujiwara" the son of a tofu shop owner. He delivers tofu every morning on the mountain road. The mountain road name is Mt. Akina. Mt. Akina often appears in "Initial D". "Takumi Fujiwara" found a new way of driving on Mt. Akina.  This is "Mizo Otoshi". It's a way of driving the inner tire in a groove and driving a corner at a high speed. He often does that skill with five consecutive hairpin turns. The Initial D course  I wanted to go to this stage and I went by my motorcycle. However, there are many mountain roads in this manga, and the name is different from reality only in this mountain road. In reality Mt. Akina is called Mt. Haruna. I don't know why it's called like this. Mt. Haruna is located in Gunma. In the manga, the prefectural  ...

Honda Collection Hall

I would like to introduce Honda Collection Hall. This is located on the Twin Ring Motegi.  Twin Ring Motegi is a famous international circuit.  It's located in Tochigi  Prefecture .  There are many cars and motorcycles and more. You can also learn about Honda's roots and feeling about making things. This is the first prototype engine of Honda. It was made in 1947. The first engine was made as an auxiliary engine for a bicycle. However, it was not commercialized due to durability problem. I saw this motorcycle and I thought it was interesting. The gasoline tank was just a hot water bottle! This building has three floors. On the first floor you can know the history of Honda. On the second floor, Production Motorcycles, Production Mars and Power Products are on exhibition. On the  third floor, Racing Motorcycles and Racing Cars are on exhibition. I like the third floor best because I can see a lot of vehicles active in races.  I enjoyed t...
