Experience the Real Tokyo Drift

Step into the neon-lit world of Tokyo's automotive underground with an exclusive tour to the legendary Daikoku Parking Area. This isn't just a car show; it's a raw, unscripted gathering of Japan's most passionate petrolheads. Located on an artificial island in Yokohama Bay, Daikoku PA transforms on weekend nights into a pulsating hub of horsepower, where JDM legends like the Nissan Skyline GT-R, Toyota Supra, and Mazda RX-7 share the asphalt with lowriders, drift machines, and million-dollar exotics. Our curated tours solve the impossible logistics of reaching this highway-only destination, putting you in the passenger seat of iconic sports cars for a high-octane cruise down the Wangan and C1 Loop that you'll never forget.

Dream Come True!

I've watched videos of Daikoku since I was a kid. Being there in person was surreal. Our guide, Ken, picked us up in a pristine Alphard and we saw R32s, R34s, and even a Pagani. The vibe is unmatched.

Highlight of our Japan Trip

My husband is the car guy, but I loved it too! We booked the GTR experience and riding in Godzilla through the Tokyo tunnels was insane. Worth every penny.

Great atmosphere, cold weather

The cars were incredible. Saw amazing rotaries and Supras. Just be sure to dress warm as it's right by the bay and gets windy at night.

Fast and Furious vibes

Literally felt like the movie. We went on a Saturday night and it was packed. Police closed it around 9:30 PM but our guide took us to Tatsumi afterwards which was arguably even cooler for photos.

Excellent service

I booked this for my American friends visiting Tokyo. The driver spoke great English and explained the history of the Wangan Midnight club. Highly recommended.

Hard to get to, tour is essential

Don't try to taxi here! We almost made that mistake. The tour made it so easy. We wished we could stay longer but the police cleared the lot.

Petrolhead Paradise

The sheer variety of cars is staggering. Japanese tuning culture is on another level. The drive over Rainbow Bridge was the cherry on top.

Unforgettable Night

If you like cars, you have to do this. Period. The sound of the engines echoing off the ramps is something I'll never forget.
