Over the past few years, my schedule never really allowed me the time to stop by FEED when I’m in Osaka. I usually only travel to Kansai for events at Suzuka or Central, and I don’t usually afford myself any free time to do other things. I had sent emails to Fujita each time, but always had to cancel for some unforeseen reason.
During my last trip to Kansai, I specifically scheduled time to visit and was finally able to take in one of the most legacy rotary shops in Japan. Mr. Fujita was busy in the morning, and had to step out as soon as I arrived, but the employees were nice enough to let me roam around. By the time I had taken everything in, he had returned and we chatted for a bit.
Aside from the demo cars, which I sometimes see at Tsukuba, there is so much history that is preserved inside the shop. You can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia for the past upon entering – I think you also have to be my age as well, to have had a sense of how things were in the 90s. I posted this video a week or two ago on our YouTube channel, but wanted to wait until I had some photos edited for a gallery to accompany it for this site post. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out, and if you have, enjoy the new gallery of photos from around and inside the shop.
Looking forward to getting more of this season’s content processed and posted to the site before I return to Japan next month, so look forward to some more consistent updates!
