RE Amemiya, Japan
A whole nother world. Surreal for me. But FN Awesome!!
Only (3) of the cars pictured are shop cars, and (2) others were for sale, the rest were cutomers cars!!
All work done in house, even the R&D for every single part. Only outsourced work is for their mass produced parts that they offer publically (T shirts, stickers misc..).
Check out their 700 hp 20b FD.
Hori-San is the General Director and gave me his afternoon to give me the lowdown.
Even offered a ride back to my Hotel clear across Narita.
Hope My friend Abel and I and some of the Vegas crew can have the honor of hosting them in Vegas.
Just totally in Awe!!
Enjoy!!

Short vids of drive back to Hotel. Nothing fancy, lots of traffic.
I was so excited that I said "RX7".

WOW!! I would'nt be surprised at all, he also designed many of the body parts and the exclusive swing up type doors for the FC a while back too. I'm very humbled around these guys, I'm just very amazed at their unbelievably high quality of workmanship and attention to detail.

Thanks all. Hope you guys make it out there soon. You won't be disappointed.
I just still am so impressed with their quailty of workmanship and dedication to the rotary engine.
It shows in all their products as well, as expected, they even have their own rotary specific engine oil and fluids.

English is not really spoken there, but Hori-San knows a little. Their distribution rep speaks english very well. You may have to contact him by phone. Thankfully horsepower is a universal language. They will see that in your face when you see all their cars and stuff. Have fun.
Buy the Japan Rail Pass (only available outside of Japan), available in 7-14-21 day passes, you won't have to be bothered with worrying about which ticket to purchase and trying to be on schedule all the time. It allows unlimited use of all the JR trains, ferry's,buses. Upgrade to the "GreenCar" 1st class pass it is well worth the money. Most of the time less than 4 people in the whole car, larger reclining seats. Pass paid for itself 1st time out to Hiroshima.
I saw Narita, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Miyajima Island, & Osaka and never had to worry about a schedule to keep. I was lucky to get a view of the mid conductors cab in the Shinkansen for a brief while and the Speedometer read 265 km. The Shinkansen train (bullet train) and all other supporting rail systems are such an efficient and convenient way to travel.

The same dedication and belief in their products and services are carried over from their honorable past.
Again, the highest quality humanly possible. Painstakenly hand forged in the 1300's, No sign of any rust anywhere. Picture taken at Hiroshima Castle which is an oceanfront city.

The shop is located a little in-town from Narita JR Station in Chiba. Kinda a PITA to get to, easiest if you have taxi.
