The Tokyo Auto Salon at Makuhari Messe, a huge hall and convention center in Chiba, is not to be confused with the Tokyo Motor Show which happens once every two years.
This show is on every year and showcases race cars and modified vehicles, while the Motor Show is for companies to show all their new street-legal vehicles.
The Tokyo Auto Salon is open to the public and tickets can be purchased online.
The show takes place every January and showcases a fantastic range of cars and droves of models at each booth. It's a must-see for any car lover.
