Car Shows

Planning a car trip to Japan? Tokyo Auto Salon, Nostalgic 2Days, Osaka Auto Messe, FuelFest Japan, R's Meeting, NSX Day and the weekly spots, by month.

FuelFest Japan took over Fuji Speedway on August 11th, and the energy was unreal. From Hollywood movie cars to hardcore Japanese street culture, it was one of the best automotive events of 2026.

Liberty Walk always brings one of the most talked-about booths to Tokyo Auto Salon. I filmed it over Day 1 and Day 2 so you can see every build, including the R35 GT-R convertible.

From mild carbon accents to full carbon bodies, Tokyo Auto Salon 2026 had carbon fiber everywhere. These were the most extreme carbon builds I found.

Expanding the Daikoku Legends journey beyond Japan, I recently made a stop in Shenzhen for the Auto Ecosystem Cool Car Show 2026. This place was absolutely massive—spanning kilometers of floor space—and offered a unique look at how JDM culture translates in China.

Japan's top tuners brought their A-game to Tokyo Auto Salon 2026. In this video I walk through booths from Orido, NEO86, VeilSide, HKS, Endless, SARD and Watanabe, from track weapons to boundary-pushing show cars.

Attending a show like Motorama is a different experience when you’ve just come from the Tokyo Auto Salon. It’s a collision of North American muscle, custom show builds, and a JDM tuner scene that is thriving right here in our backyard. For the first time, I hit the show floor with my brother to document the "Motorama vibe".

If you love fender flares and exposed rivets, Tokyo Auto Salon 2026 was the place to be. Liberty Walk, Pandem and AME brought some of the widest, most aggressive builds in JDM.

Smokey Nagata's Top Secret is one of the most iconic tuners in Japan, known for extreme builds and legendary high-speed runs. I filmed their Tokyo Auto Salon 2026 booth over Day 1 and Day 2 so you can see every build up close.

Every generation of GT-R was represented at Tokyo Auto Salon 2026, and some of these builds were absolutely wild. Here are my top 5, from R32 to R35.

Tokyo Auto Salon 2026 had one of the best Skyline lineups I've seen, so I set out to find every Nissan Skyline and GT-R in the halls of Makuhari Messe.

If Day 1 was about the scale of the show, Day 2 was about the surgical precision of Japan’s top tuners. I spent my time getting up close with the brands that have influenced Daikoku Legends from the beginning.

Attending the Tokyo Auto Salon (TAS) for the first time is a sensory overload that no amount of YouTube videos can truly prepare you for. For the 2026 show at Makuhari Messe, the energy was unreal, feeling less like a trade show and more like a massive celebration of the "Golden Era" of JDM culture. Here is a blog post capturing that first-timer experience. Entrance to Tokyo Auto Salon 2026 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba. Sensory Overload: My First Pilgrimage to Tokyo Auto Salon
