Tokyo/Yokohama - 7 night experience? Yokohama car culture?

[winstonbike]

Any thoughts for where to go/what to do in Tokyo/Yokohama over 7 nights and one weekend beyond the standard tourist spots? Like Daikoku Futo rest stop to see the car scene, etc.

Coming from the US for a week and a half in Japan on business, have nights and weekends free - where should I go to see the highlights of Japanese car culture? Daikoko Futo (sp?) on Fri/Sat? thanks

It's tough to catch a good spot these days--the police have really cracked down on drag racing, etc. I used to go to Hakone, but what they do there is mostly drifting and it's best to go when it's rained that day a little bit so there's less traction. It's absolutely amazing... Another thing to check out would be to go to the Yokohama Bay Bridge on a Fri/Sat to check out all the cars in the parking lot under the bridge... This attracts mostly show car types though. Have fun!

Is the Yokohama Bay bridge location the same as in this video?

yup (around 2:10 in) thats what it was like. Last time I went by there a year or two ago the cops had really cracked down and there were only a few cars, and no dancing.
