Largest Subaru Dealer in Japan (Warning: Photo Juggernaut)

I am currently in Tokyo and it was very kindly suggested that I might like to take a visit to the largest Subaru dealer in Japan which not only has a wide range of cars for sale, but also a STI/Rally Car gallery including actual cars that have won Le Mans and RWC.

Heaps of nice Liberty/Legacy’s on site. Brick red leather options, aero strakes, mesh grilles, heated wipers, Bilstein editions, square tail pipes on Gen Vs and even a Tommy Kiara version of a B4. Many photos to follow.

VIEWING WINDOW SO YOU CAN WATCH YOUR CAR BEING SERVICED
Obviously, they take pride here, so not only can you watch your car being serviced, but you can also go inside the workshop and discuss your car with the mechanic whilst it is on the hoist.

STI PARTS FOR SALE
Variety of STI parts for sale on the show room floor. Coilovers, exhausts, strut braces, clothing etc.
Image
Image
Image

VARIOUS LEGACY’S
Many to choose from and like... a few things that stood out to me.

Quad tip, mesh grille, brick red seats (Note the cup noodles in the centre console).
Image
Image
Bilstein B4 (Window visors, Recaro seats et al).
Image
Image
Image
Random Gen III with Different Grille/Bumper
Image
Gen IV Sports edition with nice diffuser and K2 style tips
Image
Image
Heated Wind Shield Wipers
Image
Rows of GTs
Image
Strakes/Spats on a Bunch of Cars
Image
Gen V with Sports Grill
Image
Legacy Eyesight Option
Image
Gen IV GT with Lip and Rims Coming In For Servicing
Image
Image
Tommy Kiara B6 Edition
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Hella Modded Gen III Wagon
Image
Image
Bilstein STI Gen IV Wagon [???]
Image
Image
Rectangular Tip Optioned Gen V
Image
Spoiler Optioned Gen V
Image
Image

OTHER CARS OF NOTE

STI Impressa (I really want one of these!!!)
Image
Image
Image
Image
BRZ (Very cramped interior FYI)
Image
Image
Image

I got myself several hardcover photo intensive books, a Legacy badge and a JDM coin holder. :D

The array of JDM options is massive. Went through the Gen 4 accessories book and suffice to say, most options/accessories are also considerably cheaper...STI Lips are around $350 - $400 (presumably installed :shock: ) and you could buy the folded mirror option for about $160. Try that at Docklands!

The staff were all super nice. The STI/Gallery part wasn't open, but they allowed us in unsupervised after it was explained I came from Australia (and a Liberty Club), they also spent a considerable amount of time with me pawing through the accessories book trying to find the parts I wanted. You could also test drive the cars provided you have an international licence and Japanese skills/friends/family.

It was a great afternoon. Thanks for reading. :mrgreen:

That's an awesome trip to an otherworldly dealership Piers! I quite like the heated wipers and rectangular exhaust option for the Gen V :mrgreen:

EPIC!!

look at all the optional parts you can buy from the dealer..... And the service centre where you can actually talk to the person working on your car!

Puts the dealers here to absolute shame.

Amazing. Probably puts several dealers to shame lol.

And so much for "Modifying your car with aftermarket parts could shorten the lifespan bla bla bla.... Void warranty bla bla bla..."

This one is in Mitaka. It was built after the Tachikawa one and as I understand it, is now the biggest in Japan. The Tachikawa one is also worth a visit though, as they have many customised cars there.

Thanks mate. I ordinarily hate rectangular exhausts, but thought it looked good on the Gen V also.

Love to accomodate, but sadly can't. :oops:

Yes I did. When I find it, I'll post it up. I'll also scan the options books and Legacy brochures I grabbed when time permits.
