Going to Japan to visit relatives in Yokohama area: Cheap JDM part source recs?

Hi all,
Leaving for Japan on tuesday. Not checking bags there, but interested in maybe taking a look at some used parts places for jdm stuff and older bugeye stuff that I could take back here with me. Any recommendations? I will be in the Yokohama area, but Tokyo area is also a possibility. Thanks! - Patrick

+1 for Upgarage.
Also, if you have time, you can skip over to Hachioji or Hanemura for Autobacs Secondhand.

thanks for all the recs. Sadly it's for the funeral for my grandfather, so I won't be devoting much time and energy to car stuffs, but it'll be a nice distraction at times. Thanks again and keep em coming if you have any other ideas.

Upgarage is awesome. Now I just wish they had a 2nd hand autobacs here and not just regular autobacs. The regular autobacs here is nothing more than an oversized pepboys with oil at 10X the price, tons of air freshners, and jdm mirrors.


Some of the **** stores are mighty sketchy with full of cosplay, odd ****, etc. Sometimes they have hyper rev magazines but not the one I checked out a while back. Seems like I had a much easier time find hyper rev magazines at the japan town book store in SF. Oh and don't forget the panty machines
