I have officially crossed the border out of the city limits of Niigata and have entered Seir, a small but highly industrialized town in the Niigata Prefecture with a smaller population, which was at 13,474 back in ‘03.

Shortly after crossing into Seir, I came across this...

It’s a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! filled with cars. Not just any cars, an interesting variety.

There’s a Daihatsu Terios Kid, a Subaru Sambar made to look like a VW Bus, a Hyundai XG (Hyundais are very rare in Japan), a Mazda Roadster, among others.

That was in 2011, here’s what there was in 2014, including a Lancer Evolution.

At the first major intersection, I spotted this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

This used to be a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! station, I assume they moved to the one just down the road from here.

Here’s a place for fans of American cars in Japan.

At least 8 Chevrolet Astros and GMC Safaris, 2 Cadillac DeVilles, a Chrysler PT Cruiser, what looks like a Lincoln Town Car (behind the white Astro and silver DeVille), plus for JDM fans, a Daihatsu Naked and Toyota Century.

But wait, there’s !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! !

How about a pink smart car, a Dodge Ramcharger (imported from Mexico!), Town Cars, Tahoes, Suburbans, a Ram Van, and a Navigator, among others.

Seems if you wanna find a lot of American cars in Japan, you have to look OUTSIDE the city.

Follow that up with ANOTHER DeVille...

...an !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (imported from the US), along with what looks like it might be an R32 GT-R...

...and an !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! !

That pretty much sums up my trip through Seir. It was certainly more than I expected. Next stop: Shibata City.
