Tuning Shop OVERLOAD in Kansai! | Alex in Japan (4K)

Alex in Japan: Episode 2
Japan has long been known for its rich culture and fascinating history, as well as its passionate car culture. In this video, we'll be taking you along with us on our journey as we explore the heart of Japan's automotive scene and immerse ourselves in the country's rich cultural heritage.
In the second episode of the "Alex in Japan" series, we embark on a road trip from Nagoya to Osaka. Along the way, we visit some of the best JDM tuning shops in the area. These shops offer a glimpse into the passion and creativity of the Japanese car scene, showcasing the latest modifications and aftermarket parts for vehicles.
Our journey later takes us to Kobe, where we visit our friend Rentaro-san and get to admire his prized possession: a Yashio Factory Silvia. This beautiful car is a true masterpiece, showcasing the latest in JDM tuning and modifications. We also have the opportunity to see his friend's S14, which was equally impressive.
The next day, we continue our quest to discover more tuning shops in the area, taking in the sights and sounds of the Japanese automotive scene. But we also make time for some relaxation, visiting Nara Deer Park for a break from the fast-paced car world. Here, we get to pet deer and immerse ourselves in the rich history and culture of the shrines and temples.
In conclusion, our journey through Japan offers a unique perspective on the country's automotive scene and rich cultural heritage. From the bustling city streets to the peaceful temples, Japan has something to offer everyone. So join us as we explore the land of JDM tuning and culture in the "Alex in Japan" series.

[@jakubd.17]

Not really car related but I cannot NOT mention how clean the streets are compared to Vancouver. It's a night and day difference of how people care for the place they live in. Really enjoyed the video especially these long duration ones ❤

[@deeperatmosphere]

There is nothing more precious than Animals and Cars.. and Japan propably. 😄🖤 The deer Park is a real flash, what a beautiful place, and seeing the Race Car of the Drift King himself is so Epic.! 😄 Thanks again for the amazing stuff you Guys captured, just nice to see.! 😌👌🏻

This series only keeps getting better and better. Love it!

[@tommynobaka]

I recognize Car Factory Ai from Slippery86's vids. He's another case of an Alexi falling in love with Japan through cars and moving there. He's a grassroots drifter, i would recommend his vids because they're chill and if you guys ever go back to Japan, you could maybe link up

[@CheckpointJapan]

Huge fan of his channel/Instagram 👍

[@Happyvid1269]

I was waiting for this one. Finally

Car Factory AI owner is woman that was classically trained by Keiichi Tsuchiya's original tuner that was the original factory tuner. Hence why his N2 car is there..... She came to Laguna Seca as well where I met her for the Historic Car race.

[@13brap75]

Hey guys, it’s a dream to go to Fujita engineering! Heading to Osaka next month and would you recommend using a taxi/cab from a train station to get to their shop?

[@CheckpointJapan]

We rented a car to get around on this trip as most of the shops and tracks are pretty out of the way from regular transit. Depending where in Osaka you’re staying a taxi would likely work, but I have a feeling it would be pretty costly. If you use transit there’s a good chance there will also be a lot of walking involved.

[@FutureBoostedMedia]

What camera and lens do you vlog with? Loving the quality

[@CheckpointJapan]

Alex goes over all the gear he brought to Japan with him in the first episode, near the beginning 🙏🏻

[@FutureBoostedMedia]

@@CheckpointJapan thank you. I’ll check it out. I just came across the channel on this video. Never watched any of these before.

[@couth999]

what camera do you use? amazing video btw

[@CheckpointJapan]

Canon EOS R5, I go over some of the gear I used for this project in part 1! 💖

[@buildlego2941]

[@galm7]

What is the song used when driving to Osaka?

[@perplxxd]

[@purpleturdracingdivision3726]

“R33”

[@CheckpointJapan]
