[@kateandrews8506]

Japan really knows how to showcase classics with memorabilia like nowhere else. Great video

[@Skreamies]

Thanks for showing us these gems Dino!

[@ethanhitchcock5431]

You took the words out of my mouth because I kept thinking " WOW how special !" I love Volkswagens , especially the Beetle , my family had a Sunshine Yellow Beetle when I was a toddler , all I remember is the sound of the engine & the smell of the interior... Thank you !

[@brookswasherenow]

Wow! Great video. Thank you very much Dino. Keep going!

[@akihiroiwai8102]

FLAT 4 was one of the biggest influencer of American Culture in Japan at my college time(1980). Even I had been wanted to visit them to buy their T-shirts without Beatle nor driving licence. Good video and like it.

[@dino_dc]

That’s amazing, they had a big influence in Japan at that time. Good to see them still doing well! A very niche scene but interesting

[@carlosdealba1349]

Great video ! Nao is one of the nicest guys in the air-cooled scene. Long Live FLAT 4 !

[@igorpomozov9550]

It’s great to see someone this passionate about VW. As always amazing quality of the video. Love everything about it ❤

[@dino_dc]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@johnshima01]

Great to see some VW love. I used to be into VW's big time and visited the old Flat 4 store around 2003, amazing place, nice to see them still going

[@neilowen9468]

Dino! Home run with this video! Completely over my target zone of vw’s! Keep the dub content coming, please! 👍🤙

[@dino_dc]

Thanks! Will do!

[@Astroboooy]

More of these custom/restoration shop features please Dino!! Arigato!

[@porsche356a]

I used to visit Tokyo for work 3 times a yearfor 15 years and regularly made the trip to Meguro to oogle at the vintage speed parts they had on offer there. I have a set of Flat4 sprintars on my 65 Devon splitty here in Sydney, Australia since 2006 and they were/still are top quality reproductions and always sold top notch quality parts. Will have to visit them in Yokohama now!

[@dino_dc]

Definitely worth a visit!!

[@ProwagenPer4mance]

Thanks for showcasing some of the aircooled VW scene in Japan, it is very strong there, I highly recommend checking out: Car House - Hachisucho, One Low - Hakonegasaki, Bears VW - Higashimurayama, Jeffery's - Hirabayashikita (Osaka) and TOA international - Harumicho.

[@dino_dc]

Thanks for the pointers 🫶🏻

[@N1CH0LAS007]

I’d love to live in Japan the culture the cuisine the mountains everything is so special and unique Another epic vlog good job dude 🤙

[@dino_dc]

Thanks!

[@kevinreyes4523]

Thank you Dino for this wonderful and superb video. I’ve been waiting for this one. I didn’t know they have electric AC kits for old school Vw’s now.

[@LoveWhatYouDrive]

Love this video and others I’ve seen on your channel. As a new subscriber and car enthusiast, I’m learning from your style and ideas. I’ve been going to Japan since 2015 but mainly to iwaki Fukushima prefecture. Was wondering about your camera and lens setup. Thanks in advance 🤝🏼

[@dino_dc]

Thank you. I film with a Sony A7iv and 16-35

[@LoveWhatYouDrive]

@ thanks man I appreciate the response, carry on with awesome content! When in Japan I will be sure to visit these shops

[@mobilespeed]

That red Volvo giving away the vibes, seeing the area just like somewhere in California.... XD

[@grounded7215]

Thanks for this video!! What an amazing place!!

[@alexanderk.2088]

Really most athmosferic place aand location! Like a big toy shop with cute and adorable little cars!

[@longrodlseries]

Good episode! Like the showcasing of cars like early vw’s and shops like Flat4. Miss seeing shops like this with such a cool presentation. Definite destination shop. For me reminds me of AutoPlus where parts displayed and cases of eye candy and even full cars on display to showcase their work.

[@jr.classics6190]

I Gotta Say: This is one Amazing VW Shop!! Would love to Visit one day. Nice quality & detailed Video. Thank you.

[@dino_dc]

Glad you liked it! Hope you can visit one day!

[@moneypits]

Great vid but wow the lens choice and look of the whole video is incredible. The interior shots especially are F-stopping marvellous. Makes me want to import a Bug from there :)

[@dino_dc]

Thank you! 🙏

[@b.chuchlucious5471]

Nice tribute to Gary Berg's '67, looks and sounds great!

[@derrekjohnson777]

I was beginning to think that you hated old VWs as you always walked right by then at shows. Then I woke up this morning and was greeted by a video of Flat Four and that made my morning. I live in the corn belt of the USA but got hooked on a VWs when I was stationed in SoCal. Love Yokohama as well, been there a few times.

[@dino_dc]

Glad you enjoyed the video, need to learn more on these cars and the respective culture then I could have something interesting to say when I spot them at shows ☺️

[@derrekjohnson777]

@dino_dc we put Subaru Ej205 in them. Makes them a lot more fun

[@alephtheseeker3537]

Great content. I enjoyed every minute. Me and my bug insuperable.

[@dino_dc]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@jase9702]

I really like the old Denny's being used this way, makes it very quirky and kinda cool to see, rather than the usual plain and boring garage buildings.

[@dino_dc]

Yeah loved it

[@Xboxracer1]

Phenomenal shop and video, once again!

[@williamerentfro9543]

Hell yeah! A BIG hello from Modesto California!

[@dino_dc]

Minute 16:35 on the horn button that’s the flag of São Bernardo do Campo VW Plant in Brazil 🇧🇷 !!! VW had the flag of the cities from the plants in their horn burton, so they had Puebla from Mexico 🇲🇽 plant, Wolfsburg from Germany 🇩🇪 and this one from Brazil !

[@rjung_ch]

The Golf was a good car as well, but their ID line doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy.

[@Manolivo]

at 16:36 that is a front emblem from a Karmann Ghia made in Brazil, the image represent the city of São Bernardo do Campo at the state of São Paulo, city where are locate the first VW Factory in Brazil.

You should also cover car runners in Japan who hunt abandoned cars in Japan.

[@dino_dc]

Not sure I follow

[@adamgilesconcoursdelegance9302]

I was looking at the Hilux that rocked up😂 two of my 10 cars are Hilux 90’s

[@rjung_ch]

That Carmen Ghia sure is special.

[@williamfreret6859]

There is no Karmann Ghia in this video...

[@rjung_ch]

@@williamfreret6859 What's that at 18:24 then? He calls it a Lohmesh which I don't recognize. But it looks like a Karmann.

[@rjung_ch]

I looked it up, it's called the Rometsch, Karosserie Friedrich Rometsch, a German metallurgical-coachbuilding company based in Berlin-Halensee. In 1957 the Rometsch Lawrence was built, that's what it must be. So, no Karmann after all... me stupid. Did you know what it was? Looks so very similar.

[@williamfreret6859]

@@rjung_ch then you have modified your first agressive comment... 🙄 Fyi I own some Aircooled VWs and among them one KG 67, it doesn't looks like a KG at all but if you prefer to say that.

[@williamfreret6859]

@@rjung_ch Rometsch name was mentionned by the owner and we see it written near the car anyway I've seen Rometsch car in the 80's in Germany, there are several meetings with classic cars.

Haha that site was an old Denny's!

Dino, Keep attention, it’s easy, to become beetle addicted😁
