The TokyoMotorShow (東京モーターショー) is an annual auto show held in November in Makuhari Messe, Chiba City, Japan for cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles.
The show, as the previous year was marred by heavy rain, in 1959 the event moved indoor to its newly opened Harumi Showplace venue which was three times the size of its previous venue.
Onward from 1973, as the organisers decided not to host a show for the following year due to the international energy crisis, the show became a bi-annual event after the organisers decided that the event should be held every two years.
The TokyoMotorShow, which holds media preview days Wednesday and Thursday (Oct. 19-20) just before it opens to the public on Friday, is like no other international auto show.
Indeed, the official theme of this year’s show is “Driving Tomorrow from Tokyo.” The headline acts of the show will be alternative- fuel vehicles including hybrids and fuel cells cars — always prevalent at the Tokyoshow — which goes even a deeper shade of green this year.
Tokyo always sees the introduction of vehicles, including tiny city cars and MPVs, which would be odd to Americans but are specifically suited to the Japanese market and few other places.
