ENG TOKYO MOTOR SHOW BLOG

Hello, I am Yoshizawa from the Tokyo Motor Show office.

We the Tokyo Motor Show office staff, are now working at Makuhari Messe, where the motor show will be held, preparing for the motor show.

Today, I would like to introduce an unusual topic:

The Tokyo Motor Show is running on the JR Yamanote Line! That doesn't make any sense, does it? Actually, train cars with bodies decorated for the Tokyo Motor Show are running on the Yamanote Line from Sunday, October 14 to Sunday, November 11 as part of the 40th Tokyo Motor Show 2007 ad campaign. It might be your lucky day if you get on the Tokyo Motor Show train on your way to your office or school.

(There are two such trains.)

Hello, I am Yoshizawa from the Tokyo Motor Show office.

As I mentioned in the last blog entry, the 40th Tokyo Motor Show 2007 will present four test-ride and test-drive events where visitors are welcome to actually ride or drive cars. They are the “Safety Experience Test Drive”, “4x4 Adventure Test Ride”, “Clean Energy Vehicles Test Ride”, and “Commercial Vehicles Test Ride” events.

In this and the next blog entries, I would like to look more closely at these events.

Hello, I am Yoshizawa from the Tokyo Motor Show office.

At last, it is cooling down these days, and a nip of autumn is in the air.
How are you doing?

Since we now have under a month before the opening of the Tokyo Motor Show, the atmosphere in the Tokyo Motor Show office is tenser than ever.

Hello, I am Yoshizawa.

Time flies. It is already September. The Tokyo Motor Show will open next month, and we are in a whirl of business, preparing for the show.
During these very busy days, we need something that gives us a few minutes to relax and unwind.

In this blog entry, I would like to introduce a children's car drawing exhibition titled "Shaping Your Dreams by Tomica" held at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show of 2007 with the assistance and support of Tomy Company, Ltd. Just seeing this delightful exhibition will help people to relax.

Hello, I am Yoshizawa from the Tokyo Motor Show office.

It's the middle of August, the hottest time in Japan. It's hot and humid every day.
I hope you are not suffering from the summer heat.

I avoid suffering from the heat by eating as much delicious and nutritious food as I can.
I also dance flamenco, which is my hobby, to relieve daily stress.

At last, advance ticket sale for the 40th Tokyo Motor Show 2007 has started!

As keen readers of the Tokyo Motor Show blog are already aware, the E-tix online ticket service, which we introduced in our June 21 entry, started operations on August 1.

Hello. I am Yoshizawa from the Tokyo Motor Show Office.

Following up our last blog entry, we are reporting how public transportation serves the 40th Tokyo Motor Show 2007.

In our previous report, we went to the Chiba Prefectural Bus Association and spoke with the staff there.
In this entry, we went to JR East's Chiba Branch Office and asked Mr. Makino about how to make use of trains to get to the Tokyo Motor Show.

Hello. I am Yoshizawa from the Tokyo Motor Show Office.

The 40th Tokyo Motor Show 2007 will be a new comprehensive show with all passenger cars, commercial vehicles, motorcycles, commercial vehicle bodies, parts, and other related products exhibited in one place, using all the premises of the Makuhari Messe complex.
People have higher expectations for the coming 40th Tokyo Motor Show 2007, and it will be very likely for many people to flock to the show. What concerns visitors most may be transportation access to the show venue.

If you want to arrive at the motor show quickly and easily so you can enjoy it without having to worry about getting there, punctual public transportation, i.e. trains and buses, is a wise choice.

In this and following blog issues, we would like to report how public transportation serves the 40th Tokyo Motor Show 2007.

Hello. I am Yoshizawa from the Tokyo Motor Show Office.

Today, I would like to write about the hotel and ticket information which are on the top page of the official website for the 40th Tokyo Motor Show 2007！

Hello. I am Yoshizawa from the Tokyo Motor Show Office.

At the 40ｔｈ　Tokyo Motor Show 2007, there will be many events for families to participate in.

At the 39th Tokyo Motor Show 2005, Kids Motorcycle Sports School was particularly popular with the children. The school will offer lessons at this year's show too. We went to the Nippon Motorcycle Association (NMCA) which organizes the school, and interviewed the staff there.
