San Diego · Direct Japan Sourcing
We source directly from Japan's domestic auction network. No middlemen inflating prices. No mystery about condition.
The Process
Every car we import follows the same disciplined pipeline — from bid to your door, nothing gets skipped.
Why Kokunai
The JDM import space has a lot of noise. Here's what we actually do differently.
What We Source
We focus on iconic JDM vehicles from the golden era — models that are federally eligible to import and worth every dollar of the process.
Availability subject to Japanese auction supply. Prices vary by grade, mileage, and market conditions.
About
Kokunai (国内) means domestic — as in domestic to Japan. These are the cars built for Japanese roads, maintained by Japanese owners, and graded by Japanese auction houses.
We're San Diego-based and import through the Port of Long Beach, working with vetted agents who have direct auction access across Japan's major networks. Every car we source is chosen for condition, authenticity, and history.
The JDM import process has a reputation for being opaque. We're fixing that. You see the auction sheet. You see the grade breakdown. You know exactly what you're getting before we ever place a bid.
