Six times a year in Japan, a lowrider car show is held in major cities. The Japan Tour starts and ends in Makuhari Messe in Makuhari, Chiba where these photos were taken on Nov. 23, 2008.

This was the final show of the Japan Tour in 2008. There were over 150 cars displayed at the show. Admission was 4,000 yen at the door.

The cars were all glossy and colorful, very nice.

Such distinctive styling. It's such a huge car, with only two doors.

In the 1960s and 1970s, cars had distinguishing designs. But today, most cars look almost the same.

The highlight of the show was the hydraulics competition where we could see car hopping during most of the day.
|

They are measuring the height of the hop.

This is what a hopping car looks like underneath.

This one came pretty close to the spectator seats.
