Tokyo Motor Show usually takes place at the end of October. The actual site of the show is not in Tokyo but in the next prefecture along, Chiba. This is an enormous event and if you love bikes, cars, trucks or anything else with wheels that is powered by an engine, you're likely to find it here. The Toyota stand is famous for the high tech shows it always puts on and the 'green' developments it showcases every year. There is a certain glitz and glamor to the Tokyo Motor Show that definitely sets it, and the girls who strut their stuff next to the hard goods, apart from similar events I've seen.
Over 50 years old now, the Tokyo motor show has been a center of attraction since 1954, for all those interested in the automobile industry. The show is popular for featuring state-of-the-art and futuristic technologies in the form of concept automobiles including trucks, buses and cars. You can expect to find huge array of fresh concepts all across the show.
There are so many of 'em that you might find it tough to follow each of the exhibits in detail. History During the early history of the show, its focus remained on passenger vehicles viz. truck and buses. However, in the wake of the growing Japanese auto industry and trading of Japanese cars around the world it expanded focus to include passenger cars. Even now when the auto industry in the western hemisphere finds itself under rough weather, the Japanese auto industry hopes for landmark performance. Organizers of the show, the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, changed the format of the show beginning with last year's event (i.e. Tokyo Motor Show 2007). Now the show will be held once every two years, with the commercial vehicle show to be held in year in between. The next episode of the tradition is the forty-first, Tokyo Motor Show to be held in 2009. The biennial event promises to include a comprehensive range of passenger cars, motorcycles, commercial vehicles, commercial vehicle bodies, and vehicle parts. Tokyo Motor Show 2007 Carrying the theme "Catch the News, Touch the Future," the event was held at Makuhari Messe, Chiba and lasted a good 17 days, from October 26, 2007 (Friday) to November 11, 2007 (Sunday). Visitors Close to 1,425,800 people visited the show, however this number was considerably less than numbers who visited the show in 2005. In 2005 about 1,512,100 had come to the show. Premieres Considering both the Japan and the world, a good number of premieres surfaced at the event. Numerically, there were 77 World Premieres (5 commercial vehicles, 36 passenger cars, 32 motorcycles, 4 vehicle bodies) and 103 Japanese premieres (2 commercial vehicles, 75 passenger cars, 26 motorcycles). Technology Featured The themes and focus of the recent past shows have showcased drivetrains and its components viz. transmission, drivelines, etc, and fuel-cell and hybrid vehicles. During the 2007 event fuel-cell and the hybrid vehicles stole the limelight. For instance, Toyota featured a concept vehicle "1/X" or "one-Xth." Similar to a Prius, the vehicle claims to achieve twice as much fuel economy. It features a featherweight automotive frame made from carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic, which also helps to save gas. The concept further has an additional plug-in hybrid powertrain, which can run on either gasoline or E85 (a mix of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline).

Though, as a professional I've reported on myriad topics, my favorites remain to be the medical industry and the automobile industry. I blog at Automobile Hotspot.
