Kan-pachi Dori is full of specialist dealerships like this one, are there any specific niches you’d like to see more of?

[@RazeenEklips]

An old school BMW specialist dealer

[@jordanfitzpatrickheinzl3176]

I’d love to see more of the Porsche or merecedes places if possible, the workshop walkarounds of any sort are my favourite

[@viktoreidrien7110]

more please !!!

[@Uninterestedofficial]

Please show us your favourite car related places! 🫶

[@neilowen9468]

How about some retro vw’s?!

[@florida__jack]

As an American who lived in Tokyo, it was always a treat for me seeing the Italian cars there. The Alfa 164, 155 and of course the SZ would catch my eye! Thanks for sharing these cars👍

[@dino_dc]

Ah yeah love the SZ/RZ such unique looking things

[@frenchouillard]

OMG that clio williams in the entrance.... teenage dreams here for me... I was living in Japan like you few yrs ago now... I cannot imagine how blown my mind would have been if I would have been walking or passing in front of that shop... The clio and the old alpine 110 were and are still dreamcars for me...

[@mantarayal]

Thanks Dino!! I don't think I've seen a collection of GORGEOUS cars like this anywhere. I want so many of them so badly......😍

[@dino_dc]

You and me both!

[@CorpseExplosion]

I always find it interesting to see what gets imported IN to Japan, and Japanese tuning houses that specialise in overseas brands. Another great video, thank you

[@GabrielePresicci]

Ciao Dino! Che spettacolo questo posto! Grazie per averlo portato in video, ci fa sentire fieri. Un abbraccio dalla tua Italia!

[@dino_dc]

Nessun problema, saluti da Tokyo!

[@matschwarz9261]

Wow what an adventure to join Dino to scoop around in his history and this sales collection...Yes, please more of this if possible ❤ I love italian cars because they always have character and in the end it's always a character which you have to like and love like old donna's. 😊 I can tell, I drive the 2nd Spider 2.0 with the ragazzi exhaust...❤ the original Alpine, the junior, the lancia at the end, the Peugeot 505 V6 what a gem, the Maseratis...its like an small town bar in southern Italy where mostly men in different age join and the vecchios tell them young wild boys stories of the old days...❤ Love it.

[@dino_dc]

Definitely will try to hunt more of there type of shops 👌🏻

[@kennethpotter3738]

Until discovering your videos I never realised how diverse the car culture was in Japan. Didn’t expect so many rare European cars and they are all in stunning condition. I especially love the Pug 505 V6,Citroen CX and most of all my dream car the Integrale’s. Hand built Wide body Porsche’s in your previous videos also blew my mind. Keep up the great work 👏

[@dino_dc]

Thanks!! Japan really does have everything

[@nickpappas4133]

A very cool and interesting place, I enjoyed the video, yes I would love to see more content like that.

[@bluetitan20]

Definitely love to see more videos like this of car dealers from Japan. Every one of the cars in this garage, looked to be minty mint. Also 1000% agree with you on the 355, I only ever heard one being revved out once. I still haven't forgotten it, truly one of Ferrari's best designed cars, topped off with that V8 screamer. So many dream cars in this garage, the 4C, GT Junior, the classic Alpine A110 and of course that Clio Williams. How strange it must seem to have such comfortable, sofa like seats in one of the best FWD hatches ever made. I just looked on their site and they don't seem to have the Williams up for sale, be interesting to see how much it's going for?

[@dino_dc]

Yeah not sure on the Williams, could have just been acquired

[@jgerry2002]

Absolutely stunning. Having driven several original 500s they are fun to see. Keep these videos coming.

[@JoyOfMachine]

Hey Dino! I just wanted to say a big thank you for taking the time and effort to dish out this sort of content for us. I'm loving every bit of it! As a die hard JDM and japanese car culture in general fanboy, your channel is a gold mine. I love seeing this aspect of Japan through your eyes! Never stop doing what you do :D Looking forward to more stuff you decide to film in the future :D Cheers bro!

[@dino_dc]

Thanks so much for the feedback!

[@cacahueteasesino]

Last Sunday I saw a X1/9 on the road (the owner used to run a FIAT dealership near my place) I saw once a F355 with a Tubi Style exhaust, it was mental! Please keep showing us more dealers like this one!

[@dino_dc]

You got it!

[@tmsunrise1234]

I got so excited when I noticed the bike at 7:26, that's an Italian Motom Supersport from the 60's! My family has quite the collection of them, and seeing this one in Japan just proved to me again that Japan not only has the best car culture in the world, but also the best vintage motorcycle culture!

[@dino_dc]

Oh you know it!

[@tmsunrise1234]

@@dino_dc I do :) they are cool little bikes, 48cc but with a 4 stroke engine which is quite unusual. They were super popular in Italy in the 50's and 60's, over half a million of them were sold, a huge number for back in those days!

[@neilowen9468]

Love the Italian vibe! Especially the 355 in yellow! A bucket list car for me! 💯👌

[@angeloah]

As an enthusiast of such things, I love these little side jaunts and personal stories laced in. What a sick shop, that blue 110 was a beaut, the black sedan almost looked like an Italian bmw. Thanks dude.

[@fpeverini]

Thanks for sharing. Loved it

[@garagefabroart]

Bravissimo Dino. C'e` sempre tanta passione per le macchine Italiane nel Giappono. And that Zagato double bubble is stunning!

[@dino_dc]

Grazie!!

[@ryuupl847]

Absolutely incredible stuff - thanks so much for featuring this place! I live in Japan now, but used to own an Alfa Spider back in the US. As they say, Alfa = Always Looking For Another and this shop seems like the perfect place to scratch that itch again

[@danielhillier7417]

Awesome video, id love to see more.

[@abbeyhall4624]

Please yes, more resellers /collectors videos because I find them all fascinating.

[@adamgilesconcoursdelegance9302]

Nice hearing your heartbeat go up when reading those car graphic mags !!

[@turbokai6262]

Ciao Dino, I recently came across your channel and only can say "very good"! I like the calm but enthusiastic way you share your passion with the world! GRAZIE

[@dino_dc]

Grazie 🙏🏻

[@silly_G33se]

Apart from the stunning display of euro cars I just love how the place is built. It really feels italian with the sandstone colored brickwalls, the lights and the peacock tail cobblestone pattern at the entrance. It is really well done.

[@la8pw]

Thank you for including some prices! Another interesting vid. Love the car scene over there. Coming back bc i totally missed it last time around.

[@KNMK259]

9:33 I loved the old Magazine, it is like good times. Loved the fact that you opened the ad for Mazda RX 7. I loved the car in Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005.

[@filipb]

Great video, thanks, and more please .... also, a planned tour for my next Japan trip would be great ;-) Thanks for the great content

[@_dizzysky]

[@kahmed7328]

Dino!!! This is amazing stuff!! Please make more of these videos. I’ve only seen pictures of these dealers in CG and CAR mag. You need to go to AC Minds ASAP!!!

[@dino_dc]

Will look it up!

[@yo-edo]

All in for more videos like this! Whenever I am in Japan I notice dealerships like this that specialize in specific cars but I've never taken a closer look. I wonder if there are big body classic American car dealerships in Tokyo. I've never seen that but I bet that would be an interesting video for sure.

[@BrettWhite92]

Shows your extensive knowledge of your native country’s auto history. Much respect ❤️

[@dino_dc]

I appreciate that

[@gafrers]

Fantastic or given the type of collection: Fantastico Great as always 👏👏

[@dino_dc]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Zwirz_]

I would like to visit at least 25% of these places, but I don't think I will have enough time on my next trip haha :D It's nice to see that the Japanese also care about European motoring. Especially the more classic one.

[@zerodrift1]

Cool video and I gotta say the garage they have is really neat. I do like your videos that have a bit of chill music mixed in as it makes for a more cinematic video. Always a good touch.

[@dino_dc]

Glad you enjoy the vids!

[@zerodrift1]

@dino_dc yup! Great vids to check out with my morning coffee. Makes me want to put more effort into my videos. I just do single take vlogs.

Oooooh, the Dandy project that was abruptly cut short!! I was so eagerly following that project, so sad. Many thanks for this kind of videos, awesome to see the sheer variety in japanese car culture. Looking forward to seeing that black Mid Night FD.

[@dino_dc]

Yeah need to catch up with the owner and show the car …

[@peterga3658]

Great video . great cars

[@fueledbymetal]

I'd love to see more dealership videos like this! I'd just like to add that I watch your videos while I'm on my spin bike (helps transport me away mentally form the pain!) and I was in the middle of a particularly hard interval when you were flipping through the mag, so as I was gasping for breath when I saw the advertisement of the guy smoking I almost puked! 😆

[@dino_dc]

😂

[@haroonsarwar]

These videos just get better and better 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 can you visit an car auction sale; that would be interesting

[@dino_dc]

Maybe one day!

[@YungRamo]

nice coverage, would be cool to see some unique/high end car rental showrooms.

[@time603]

Alfa Romeo 105 Despite the absence of electronic anything, and ruuust, wow with twin Dulorortto's and koni footwork, straight through 2&1/2 exhaust As good a yardstick for any small/large performance car. With one of THE best exhaust notes ever

[@philtheoccultist]

def make more vids like these !

[@hussienabukhalil2012]

Thanks alot for making this happen. Thanks alot for this lovely vedio, for me Japanese cars in same age much much butiful . 80s and 90s Japanese cars are the best from all ways . I born 1981 , I called it the Golden generation for every thing , our generation is the best as personality, we know every thing about the past, and we still have fun with this generation . God bless us . Thanks again for the vedio. You always making my day .

[@dino_dc]

Very true!

[@thijs5931]

That red Giulietta is also a beauty!

What a tour man, amazing footage and the library was so cool. Can you show any Subaru specific shops? Would love to see a Japanese view of Subaru🙏

Sure thing!

[@dino_dc]

None taken haha

[@koolracerguy]

1:21 That red Giulietta though

[@edugj23]

Great selection, all nice looks. Superficially it always seems like there aren't many of these imports in Japan, but there are also enough numbers to make for a lively niche. 2:07 I know the name from the Alfa Romeo TCR racers.

[@roshan4703]

As a Canadian, I must say damn that Jimny looks cool 🤩

[@Maulzy23]

My grandmother used to rip around in a Autobianchi like that one when I was very young, but in red. I really want one. My grandfather was a Lancia man. Pretty sure I got the car bug from them :)

[@pedromeggiolaro]

I love how in Japan you can find cars from various places around the world. Even the most specific cars. Would be cool to see any brazilian car in Japan. ( i´m from Brazil :) Awsome video as always!

Lots of Brazilian VWz have been imported to Massachusetts i have a friend who loves his VWz

Romeo Ferrari doesn't just do body kits, they do full tuning and up to 360hp engine upgrade...😁

[@dino_dc]

Sounds like I need to visit…

[@NMJ01]

How's the air quality there? All cars there look dust free

[@dino_dc]

Because the cars are regularly washed. There is a fair bit of pollution so if you don't wash your car in Tokyo it gets covered in black dust. Out in the country side it's brown dust from the fields and in spring it's yellow dust from the cypress tree pollen lol

[@magnoooz]
