We went to the”Nostalgic 2days 2026″ event held at Yokohama Minato Mirai.
The classic car event “Nostalgic 2days 2026” was held on February 21st and 22nd, 2026, at Yokohama’s Minato Mirai district. The venue was lined with restored vehicles by automakers and professional classic car shops, and visitors were captivated by the beauty of the fusion of cutting-edge technology and craftsmanship. There was also an exhibition of Self-Defense Force armored vehicles and police cars, and sales of retro Showa-era car goods and miniature cars, making it a great success as entertainment for the whole family. It was a fulfilling weekend where a deep love for classic car culture was palpable.

The historically valuable Japanese-made car, the “Ota PA”
Ota Motors was a Japanese manufacturer that once boasted high performance as a rival to Datsun. This is a rare vehicle, with only a few of them said to still exist.
