All the details about your upcoming adventure in one place
Daikoku Parking Area is not just a rest stop; it is the beating heart of Japan's underground car culture. Located on a man-made island in Yokohama, this legendary meeting spot draws enthusiasts from around the globe to witness an ever-changing lineup of Nissan Skylines, Toyota Supras, hopping lowriders, and million-dollar supercars. Because Daikoku PA is located directly on the Shuto Expressway, it is strictly inaccessible by foot, train, or taxi drop-off. Our curated tours provide the essential vehicle access you need, often in JDM legends themselves, ensuring you don't miss out on this bucket-list experience due to logistical hurdles.

Real experiences from real travelers
I've wanted to go to Daikoku since I played Gran Turismo as a kid. Getting there is impossible without a car, so this tour was a lifesaver. Our guide had an R35 and knew everyone at the meet.
Even though I'm not a huge petrolhead, the vibe was incredible. It felt like a movie set. The view of the Yokohama Bay Bridge at night is stunning.
The cars were amazing! Saw everything from Ferraris to Kei trucks. Just bring a jacket because it gets windy on the bay.
Booked the private option for my mates. Driver was punctual, spoke great English, and took us to the best photo spots. Worth every penny.
The drive through the Shuto Expressway was a highlight in itself. Seeing the Daikoku spiral ramp in real life was surreal. Highly recommend.
Everything you need to know for your journey
No, there is absolutely no train station or pedestrian access to Daikoku PA. You must be in a vehicle to enter. Taxis are difficult to arrange for the return trip, making a tour the safest option.
Police closures (heisa) are common on Friday/Saturday nights. If this happens, your guide will take you to alternative car spots like Tatsumi PA, Umihotaru, or Tokyo Tower.
Friday and Saturday nights have the biggest crowds, but Sunday mornings are great for supercars. Weeknights are quieter but still have cars.
Most tours use sedans or sports cars with limited trunk space. Please travel light or check the specific baggage allowance for van tours.
Yes, but please check age requirements for specific tours. Car seats may be required by law for young children.
It varies wildly! You can expect JDM legends (Skyline, Supra, RX-7), European supercars (Lamborghini, Ferrari), lowriders, and custom vans.
Yes, most tours include a scenic drive along the Bayshore Route (Wangan) of the Shuto Expressway.
Generally no. These are passenger tours. Driving in Japan requires an International Driving Permit and specific rental arrangements.
Yes, there is a convenience store (Lawson) and a food court inside the building at Daikoku PA.
Tours typically spend 45-60 minutes at the PA, which is enough time to walk around and take photos before the police potentially clear the area.
The tours run rain or shine. While fewer cars might show up in heavy rain, the atmosphere is still unique, and the parking area is covered in some sections.
It depends on the specific tour. Some offer hotel pickup, while others meet at major stations like Shibuya or Akihabara. Check your ticket details.
