I went to Mitsuoka Jidosya Co.,Ltd today. This company is making many individual cars and my favorite car maker.
Especially a small-size mini car is about the same size as that of a motorbike. It is suitable for cities like Tokyo which are crowded. (more…)

I was out of Tokyo for last one week on a business trip to UK. I was not able to reply many of my mails and I am sorry for the inconvenience it may have caused to you.
Well, on an experiment basis, our company exhibited cars at two Japanese car auction houses in Britain. Profit was definitely not our objective; rather we wanted to learn by experience. We could sell 6 of our 11 vehicles. We plan to put the remaining 5 cars on auction next time. (more…)

I went to Kyushu in Japan last weekend. I went there to participate in the squash competition. Kyushu also happens to be my home town and it gives me a chance to visit my father’s grave too. Kyushu is far from Tokyo – it takes about 1 hour 45 minutes by air plane. If you happen to come to Tokyo in my office and if you love squash, I’d definitely invite you play squash with me.
Tokyo’s real estate is the one of the most expensive all over the world. Around my house (near Shinjuku) real estate price is about 5,600 USD per one square meter. But in my home town Kyushu, the price is about 140 USD per one square meter (Ooita prefecture). I think country side is better environment for the kids to grow than Tokyo. However if I would live there I would lose my job. So the question is ‘to be or not to be’ !! You can see picture of my home in Kyushu here. (more…)

It’s getting hot here in Tokyo and in recent years heat in Tokyo is abnormal. Perhaps, the sultriness equals tropical countries like Thailand and the Philippines. Today’s temperature was 28 degrees.
The most farthest used car auction house in the north of Japan is in Sapporo, Hokkaido and the farthest one in the south is in Fukuoka.
Though Japan is a small country, the labor costs here are the highest in the world. Therefore, costs of transporting a car by land within Japan is considerably high. (more…)

Today it was raining all day in Tokyo. It was also busy day for me; Raj also seemed to be busy, as we are making a new HP to improve our customer service.Very soon it will be the time of Golden week in Japan. One of the days is the festival of Children’s day on May 5. In Japanese culture we decorate our houses with carp streamers called as Koinobori. Since carp is a symbol of strength because of its ability to flow agaist the stream, the koinobori is considered as something which brings good luck and prays for the growth of a child. My son is now 2 years old. So I hope he grows up strong. You can see here pictures of koinobori on the top of my house.

Today we moved to our new branch office in Ginza, Tokyo. Ginza is one of the best business locations in Tokyo. We had to wait for about 2 weeks to move in here because we had ordered tailor-made computers from Dell. Finally we set up the computers and internet connection today and we’re ready to go. If you happen to come to Tokyo, please drop in our Ginza office.
