			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Why corolla 2012 model is special" href="http://www.enhance-auto.jp/used-car/toyota/Corolla/" target="_blank">The honest truth about the used Toyota Corolla for sale</a> is that it’s a boring shape but a dependable car. This usual feedback may have been the reason why Toyota has come up with a new Toyota Corolla 2012 model and why it is creating waves in the market. Not that the used Toyota Corolla for sale will ever be left aside for a brand new 2012 Corolla, but it is interesting to know that Toyota listens to its customers.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Why corolla 2012 model is special" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7201/6830350312_89b366604d.jpg" alt="Why corolla 2012 model is special" width="450" height="331" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">For the new changes in the 2012 model, Toyota loyalists should know what they are. This is because eventually the 2012 models will be sold as used units and they may be worth waiting for instead of settling for another brand. Some of the changes you can expect to find in the 2012 model are the more spacious interior, trim changes, and an upgrade on the audio system. Of course, Toyota has kept is engineering and quality manufacturing and design which means the Corolla is still very low cost and reliable.  The shape of the car does not change much so if you’re looking for pizzazz and verve, you’re not going to find it with this new Corolla.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Why corolla 2012 model is special" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7052/6830350140_d71b3a2f3b.jpg" alt="Why corolla 2012 model is special" width="450" height="316" /><br />
Other notable changes are the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Color coded power windows and locks</li>
<li>Remote keyless entry</li>
<li>Double stitch on the seats</li>
<li>iPod connectivity, Bluetooth hands-free capabilities and auto sound leveling</li>
<li>Steering wheel audio controls</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;">There are 3 grades of the 2012 Corolla: the Corolla L, LE, and S or Sporty grade. Transmission is either 4 or 5 speed with torque converter and shift control for vertical climbs and descents.  The LE is the automatic and it is possible to shift manually. This 2012 model was given the EPA fuel economy grade of 27mpg for city driving and 34 mpg for high speed driving on the 5 speed transmission engines; 26 mpg and 34 mpg for the 4 speed for city and highway driving respectively.<br />

<p id="internal-source-marker_0.47629759390838444" dir="ltr">There is one interesting fact that most of the people already know that the Chinese people don`t like the Japanese people but they love to drive Japanese car. This is why now days many Japanese cars are made in china. <a href="http://www.royal-trading.jp/" target="_blank">You can also found Japan used cars for sale in china</a> easily. According to the recent reports it is made clear that the Chinese car market has out classed American car market this is all due to the Japanese car makers because they shifted their car manufacturing to china. This is because in china you will found lots of facilities that can help you to reduce your cost. Japan used cars for sales are also repaired in china because of the easy availability of spare parts at low cost.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-89" title="Japanese Car made in China" src="http://www.tranceportation.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Japanese-Car-made-in-China-300x211.jpg" alt="japan used cars for sale" width="300" height="211" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">Due to this cheap availability of infrastructure in china many big Japanese companies like Nissan and Honda are looking to shift their car factories to china. There are many other companies that are looking to start up their business in china like Mazda Company that wanted to enter into a joint venture with the local Chinese company. Toyota has already starting building their suspended factory so that they can also get their share from the big Chinese market.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These companies are shifting their businesses to china because they economic, political and social conditions are very much suitable for the business. The Chinese economy has reached double digit mark and is sustaining it and also takes measures to improve it further. The political situation is also very good and there is continuity in the political system, and the overall society is based on strong footings. All these conditions are the basic requirements to run a healthy business so the companies are attracted towards china. One more important thing is that the usage of cars are on the rise in china so the producers do not have to search for the customers through heavy advertisement and their  manufactured products are used in china, so this will help them save money. The Chinese government is also taking different steps to attract new business enterprises to the country by providing them free electricity and subsidized raw material. So these are some of the highlighted points that attract the Japanese car maker to china.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="internal-source-marker_0.6374526682507508" dir="ltr">In  the market of four wheel drives, both the Mitsubishi Pajero and The  Land Cruiser Prado are close competitors. <a href="http://www.tranceportation.net/cars/" target="_blank">Whether you opt for a used Mitsubishi Pajero for sale</a> or a second-hand Land Cruiser Prado of Toyota, both the models have to  offer power packed performances with a touch of class. The two cars have  been providing outstanding quality worldwide over decades. Whether it  is a used Land Cruiser Prado or a used Mitsubishi Pajero for sale, both the models offer high performance when it comes to full control over rough driving conditions.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-77" title="mitsubishi_pajero" src="http://www.tranceportation.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/mitsubishi_pajero.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">Talking  about the comparison of the two, Prado can be termed as more bold and  stylish in appearance when compared with the Pajero. This feature came  out as an advantage for the Prado as most of the cars manufactured by  the Toyota Company have a safer, friendly and characteristics of a  special class look. In terms of interior, Mitsubishi Pajero is big and  spacious, whereas, the Prado model is less roomy in interior.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The  power of the Mitsubishi Pajero is intense and represents stability and  can work into 4 x 4 trails in spite of the fact that the road is rough  or even. On the other hand, Toyota Prado has capabilities to drive along  hilly areas or in conditions tougher than 4 x 4 trails. The  similarities in the models are that both the cars have standard features  such as motile air bags, stability and traction control plus the  ABS-EBD brakes.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-78" title="land-cruiser-prado" src="http://www.tranceportation.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/land-cruiser-prado-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">Pajero  has been considered a bit expensive in terms of money value in  comparison to the Prado 4-wheel drive. Fuel efficiency in Pajero and  Prado are a bit above than average.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The  engine capabilities of a Pajero holds an edge on the Prado, as the  Mitsubishi model has a bigger size engine which is equipped with a five  speed automatic transmission. This specification also has a disadvantage  of resale issues. The drawback of the model is that many Subic  converted models which are in running situation, has a problem of resale  value which makes the resale of the Prado higher than the latter one.</p>
<p dir="ltr">All  in all, both the models are more or less similar to each other and both  have efficiency in their performance both on rough and moderate  surfaces and therefore, can be considered as the best buy of all time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">Public  transportation is an important aspect of city living. Many people  actually depend on public transportation to travel to one place to  another. A cheap yet sure way to get yourself from you’re your home to  your destination would definitely be through riding a bus. In a country  such as Japan, the advance living has made it easy for people to travel  even without their own personal vehicle.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-74" title="japanese-public-transit-bus" src="http://www.tranceportation.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/japanese-public-transit-bus.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="326" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">With  convenient arrangement, a first time visitor to Japan would be able to  rely on the bus to get to places. But bear in mind that you would be in a  foreign country where their ways might seem a tad bit peculiar. Follow  the guidelines on how you can travel in Japan with a bus and you would  be able to absorb the natural atmosphere of this country.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Japan  is an Asian country where English is rarely used as a first language  therefore it would most definitely be helpful for you to learn basic  Japanese language and how to converse with a local. To avoid any  confusions or misunderstandings, you would need to equip yourself with  the rudimentary phrases for asking directions in simple language to  assist you in getting on with your journey.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Compared  to the price of taking the train, the bus is much cheaper, with the  assurance that you do know the route you should be taking. In any case  of taking the wrong bus, you might end up at a wrong city which would  lead to more confusion. Go to the bus hub and ask for the directions  with the routes that a bus takes or you can visit the official website  for the public transport in Japan and find out the bus route and fares.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A  first time traveller to Japan should always plan your trip in detail  with the help of your travel agent, as this would actually give you a  clearer idea on how to plan for your trip and the places you would be  able to visit. Your travel agent might be able to help you to book  tickets in advance as well as suggest you ways to travel to the  destination of your choice. If you are already in japan, inquire the  front desk of your hotel for details on bus terminals and the easiest  route to take for your travel.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Used  car dealers are all over Japan and when it comes to <a href="http://www.beforward.jp/" target="_blank">buying Japan used cars</a>, they may be your best bet. There are many reputable  Japanese used car dealerships around. Your family and friends may even  have a few that they may recommend. You can also look online for the  used car dealerships with the best reviews as well.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59" title="japanese-used-car-dealership" src="http://www.tranceportation.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/japanese-used-car-dealership.jpg" alt="" width="352" height="288" /><br />
One  great thing about purchasing a used Japanese vehicle from a used car  dealer in Japan is you get to see the vehicle face to face. Being able  to see it face to face will give you the opportunity to see any issues  it may have. You will also be able to take it for a test drive to see  how well it runs. Being able to do both of these things should make it  so you don&#8217;t end up purchasing a lemon that will ultimately end up  costing double the value of the vehicle in repairs.</p>
<p>Another  good thing about going to a used car dealership to purchase your used  vehicle is you can take  a look at the maintenance report. This will  tell you what maintenance and repairs have been done to the vehicle. If  not much has been done, you would be better off looking for something  else. A vehicle that has not been well-maintained can end up costing you  quite a bit of money in repairs.</p>
<p>So,  when you&#8217;re shopping for a Japanese used car, going through a  dealership would probably be best. Seeing it face to face gives you the  opportunity to ensure there is nothing wrong with it. You can also be  certain it runs well and has been maintained well over the years by its  previous owners. As you can see, purchasing a used vehicle from a used  car dealer in Japan certainly has its benefits.</p>

<p id="internal-source-marker_0.8296290866564959">Toyota is the manufacturer of Land Cruiser vehicle models and in this age of technological development and innovation, they have kept on improving on their productions by adopting the latest technologies to meet the requirements of their customers in the Japan and the other parts of the world.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tranceportation.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Toyota-Land-Cruiser.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-50" title="Toyota Land Cruiser" src="http://www.tranceportation.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Toyota-Land-Cruiser-300x166.jpg" alt="Toyota Land Cruiser" width="300" height="166" /></a></p>
<p>Driving a land Cruiser in Tokyo has its merits and demerits and this article is going to outline them for better understanding and gain information on how to get total satisfaction with the brand. Driving rules in Tokyo are as per the international standards and most drivers must be of the required ager of 18 years and above. This has made it possible for even foreigners to be conversant with the driving rules because the road signs are placed in English and Japanese languages.</p>
<p>Owning a Land cruiser is not that very costly in Tokyo since the manufactures Toyota are based in the country and they are also used vehicles available, the only challenge is for upkeep and repairs when needed, the company has dealers who assist in rendering the service.</p>
<p>Another benefit of driving a Land Cruiser in Tokyo is that one is able to reach from point A to point B with ease compared with using the railway systems which have their schedules. Furthermore it reduces time wastage through waiting and queues.</p>
<p>The prestige of owning a car makes a statement to the community where one lives and there is craze for Land Cruisers in Tokyo as owners can drive on the countryside and view the sceneries and enjoy the pleasure that comes with owning the automobile. The car comes with comfort and music systems and they can listen to a song of their choice while driving.</p>
<p>The bad side of driving a Land Cruiser is because of the large population, there are long traffic jams that can make one waste time on the roads. There is also the impact of pollution from the vehicles that has adversely affected Tokyo city.</p>
<p>The cars also have its high operating costs for instance the fuel prices have gone up worldwide and this has affected the motor vehicle industry and the consumers feels the pinch of it, as much as they have access to Land Cruiser’s accessories and spare parts the cost of maintenance is high and only the high end users can afford that. You also have to pay for the vehicle taxes, Tokyo city charges high parking fees and expensive highway toll charges, including expensive insurance premiums.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.tranceportation.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Train-station-Japan.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-35" title="Train station Japan" src="http://www.tranceportation.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Train-station-Japan-300x199.jpg" alt="Train station in Japan" width="300" height="199" /></a>Japan has an efficient public transportation network, especially within metropolitan areas and between the large cities. Japanese public transportation is characterized by its punctuality, its superb service, and the large crowds of people using it. Whether you are <a href="http://www.beforward.jp/used-bus/" target="_blank">taking a Japanese bus</a>, car, taxi, or train, the network of transport is so grand that you will be able to reach any part of Japan with ease.</p>
<p>Japanese Limousine Bus is convenient for tourists as it stops right in front of most major hotels. It takes about 90 min from Narita to Tokyo and costs 3000 yen.</p>
<p>Train is the cheapest solution and possibly the quickest, depending on the destination. There    are several lines going to Tokyo. One should check which is the nearest station to the destination and work out backward which way is the most convenient for the individual. For example, during going to Shinjuku Station, the traveller can take the Keisei line from Narita to Nippori, then change to JR Yamanote to Shinjuku; or take to same Keisei line, but the changing at Hachiman to the Toei Shinjuku line can save 10min and 50 yen.</p>
<p>Taxi is<strong> </strong>the most expensive alternative. Count at least 15,000-20,000 yen to central Tokyo.</p>
<p>If the traveler  has more time than money, the &#8220;seishun 18 kippu&#8221; is by far the cheapest solution. One ticket cost 2300 yen and gives unlimited travel inside Japan for one day. It has to be bought by set of five tickets, which can be shared with other people and used in consecutive or unconsecutive days. There are however two major drawbacks &#8211; otherwise, everybody would be using this ticket. The first one is that only local or ordinary trains can be used (no shinkansen, no limited-express&#8230;), which means it takes nine hours from Tokyo to Kyoto, instead of about three hours by Shinkansen. The second is that this ticket can only be purchased and used during three fixed periods about forty days of the years which coincide with academic holidays. This is the most travelled route in Japan, as well by tourists as by business people. As a Shinkansen (bullet train) ticket cost about 12,000 yen one-way, it remains expensive. Night buses are cheaper, and price vary greatly from one company to another. &#8220;JR&#8221; has the most expensive, but also the most frequent and possibly most confortable buses. If the traveller is looking for good deals can try to take a special package tour named <a href="http://www.orion-tour.co.jp/kansaibus/busplan.htm" target="blank">orion</a> tour, which has night buses running from Yokohama, Shinjuku or Tokyo station to Kyoto, Osaka or Kobe for 5000 yen one-way. It is very convenient for people who are planning to travel long distances around Japan, but remains too expensive (28,300 yen for the cheapest one) for those only visiting the Kanto or Kansai regions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have never been to Yokohama before and want to hit several of the major tourist attractions in one go, but don’t want to risk getting lost while wandering around by yourself, then perhaps a tour offered by Yokohama Bayside Line, would be the option for you.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Yokohama" src="http://muza-chan.net/aj/poze-weblog/yokohama-landmark-tower-view-15-big.jpg" alt="yokohama, japan" width="431" height="276" />The tour lasts just over six and a half hours (10:00-16:40) If you are staying at a hotel nearby there may be a option for you to be picked up and taken to the station prior to the tour beginning.</p>
<p>The tour departs form the east exit of Yokohama station. You will drive across the Yokohama Bay Bridge, stopping briefly to enjoy the view, then you are off to the Landmark Tower, the observation floor called the “Sky Garden” The view from here is absolutely breathtaking, after taking in the view you can wander round the Landmark Plaza and do some shopping if the mood takes you.</p>
<p>Next stop is Chinatown to have lunch and take advantage of some free time to explore.</p>
<p>After your Chinatown adventure comes the triple wammy of Yokohama Foreign General Cemetery, Port Hill Park and the Yamate Western-style Houses.</p>
<p>A quick stop off at Yamashita park and the Red Brick Warehouse follows, then its back to the station. Either your tour concludes here or if you booked beforehand you head off to join the Yokohama port cruise on board the “Marine Rouge” for an hour long trip around the bay.</p>
<p>A fairly busy day all in all, and a great introduction, to one of Japan’s best cities.</p>
<p>If you are looking to stay in Yokohama for more than a short vacation, might I suggest you have a look at these Yokohama guesthouse in the area.</p>
