In this exciting Hagerty video, we delve into the heart of Japan's tuning culture resurgence at the Tokyo AOS Salon. The event has been gaining momentum since the country's reopening, drawing enthusiasts from all corners. But the real action isn't just inside the convention center; it's the underground meets and street gatherings that truly capture the essence of Japanese car culture. Despite facing police shutdowns, these events continue to thrive, showcasing the passion and dedication of local car enthusiasts. Option magazine steps up the game with an event that elevates the underground vibe to new heights, uniting all facets of Japanese car culture under one roof.
Against the backdrop of Yokohama's skyline, Option's event becomes a visual spectacle, with historic cars and a dreamlike setting that sets the stage for a truly memorable car meet. The Wangang Base Yokohama Option Street Night Festival emerges as the largest tuner meet in Japan, boasting over 600 owner cars and a pure celebration of Japan's tuning roots. What sets this event apart is the absence of manufacturers and corporate influences, allowing tuner cars to take center stage and shine. The diverse array of vehicles, from VIP sedans to supercars and Kaido Racers, highlights the rich tapestry of Japanese car culture on display.
Legends like Top Secret and Liberty Walk make a grand appearance, alongside the iconic Midnight Club cars, adding a touch of nostalgia and excitement to the event. The gathering serves as a powerful reminder that Japanese tuning culture is far from fading; in fact, it's experiencing a renaissance. The Wangang Base Yokohama meet signals a new era for Japanese car enthusiasts, reigniting the passion and enthusiasm that defines this vibrant and unique automotive subculture.
