Drawing several hundred thousand visitors every year, the Osaka Auto Messe is one of Japan’s premier automotive customisation events. Essentially a love letter to car culture, the festival spotlights one-of-a-kind custom builds while well over 200 vendors showcase their car customisation options, including engine tunings, in-vehicle audio systems and a range of accessories.
Expect to see everything from Super GT race cars with their loud and aggressive wide-body kits to luxury vehicles with interiors showcasing the ultimate in comfort and elegance. You can also look forward to exclusive merch, engine revs and a ton of photo ops.
The Messe is held in its usual digs at Intex Osaka from February 13 to 15 this year. Tickets are available at the door for ¥3,500, as well as online. Junior high school students and younger children enter for free if accompanied by an adult.
