Go to the Mazda Museum in Hiroshima, and the Transportation Museum out there as well. They are free, but you need to setup a schedule for the tour well beforehand. The Mazda museum tour takes you through the factory (no pictures allowed).

The Toyota Automobile Museum in Nagoya is worth a visit too. Toyotas, but all japanese makes, and plenty of awesome condition US and European cars on display too (2 stories tall).

Those are 2 good historic places.

Tokyo Auto Salon is worth checking out in early January, and most of the "tuning shops" are in Yokohama, Tokyo, or Chiba. (I.E: R-Magic, Scoot Sports, RE-Amemiya, Knightsports)

I was going to go in January as well, but looks like change of plans of friends in Japan, lack of being able to find work, might put it on lockdown for good.
