The Ultimate Tokyo JDM Experience

Immerse yourself in the world of 'Wangan Midnight' and 'Tokyo Drift' with this comprehensive tour of Japan's automotive subculture. This experience takes you beyond the tourist spots and directly into the heart of the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) scene. You'll depart from Tokyo and cruise down the Bayshore Route to the world-famous Daikoku Parking Area, a sacred ground for petrolheads where spontaneous meets feature everything from low-riders and vans to million-dollar supercars. The tour also includes a visit to the Liberty Walk Tokyo store in Harajuku to see their signature wide-body creations and a stop at Super Autobacs, Japan's massive automotive department store.

Bucket List Achieved!

As a huge JDM fan, this was a dream come true. Seeing the Liberty Walk shop was cool, but Daikoku was another level. We saw R34s, NSXs, and even a Pagani. Our guide Ken was super knowledgeable.

Amazing Night Out

Even though I'm not a huge 'car person', the atmosphere was electric. The drive over the Rainbow Bridge was beautiful. Highly recommend for a unique side of Tokyo.

Great Cars, Busy Spot

The tour was well organized. Daikoku was very crowded and police closed it after an hour, but the guide had a backup plan to another PA which was also nice. The Liberty Walk merch store is small but has cool stuff.

Petrolhead Paradise

Best $150 I spent in Japan. Riding in the van with other car guys was fun, and we got plenty of time at Super Autobacs to buy souvenirs. 10/10.

Authentic Experience

Great way to see the car scene if you can't rent a car yourself. The guide explained the different tribes (Bosozoku, Drift, VIP) really well.

So much fun!

My boyfriend dragged me along but I actually loved it. The cars are works of art. Warning: it gets cold at night by the bay, so bring a jacket!

Professional Service

Pickup was on time at Tokyo Tower. The van was comfortable. We spent about 90 minutes at Daikoku before heading back. Perfect timing.

Good but short

Wish we could have stayed longer at Liberty Walk, but we had to beat the traffic to Daikoku. Still a solid tour for the price.
