No tracks, but I could give you a name of a great sushi bar.......

Have a great trip and remember, they drive on the other side of the road....

Rent a car and drive around the mountains of Hakone, (somewhere near Fuji) as fast as you can. The crotch rockets will be passing you on both sides like you are standing still. There is (was?) the Matsuda collection up there, lots of cool UNRESTORED cars and race cars. I like how he left them in original condition. There was also a RUF dealer across the street. I watched a race at Fuji but never had the chance to race.

Have fun!
