Show me the pictures of all those Chryslers, Fords, and Chevys crowding the streets of Tokyo.

A variety of nontariff barriers have traditionally impeded access to Japan’s automotive market. Overall
sales of U.S. made vehicles and automotive parts in Japan remain low, which is a serious concern.
The U.S. Government has expressed concern with the overall lack of access to Japan’s automotive market for U.S. automotive companies. Barriers include, but are not limited to, issues relating to standards and certification, the lack of sufficient opportunities for stakeholder input in the development of standards and regulations, barriers that hinder the development of distribution and service networks, and the lack of equivalent opportunities for U.S. models imported under the preferential handling procedure (PHP) certification program to benefit from temporary fiscal incentive programs. The U.S. Government urges Japan to address the full range of barriers in Japan’s automotive market."
