Full description
This is a 3-hour experience in Tokyo, built around Daikoku Parking Area and Tokyo Tower. It is run by RC26, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Tokyo is the largest city on earth by metropolitan population and it is best seen as a set of neighbourhoods on the Yamanote loop line rather than one place. Asakusa has Senso-ji, the city's oldest temple, and Nakamise's shopping lane; Shibuya has the scramble crossing and Shinjuku the bars of Golden Gai and Omoide Yokocho; Harajuku is Takeshita Street and Meiji Shrine's forest; Akihabara is electronics and anime; Ginza is department stores and sushi counters. Everything runs on time and the last trains are around midnight. Cash still matters in small restaurants, an IC card covers every train and bus, and tipping is not done anywhere.
The price covers Guided tour by fluent English speakers who know Tokyo and, Pick-up and drop-off in deeply modified, All expressway tolls and fuel costs fully covered and Photography service available throughout the trip. It does not cover Pets are not allowed in the vehicles, Entrance fees, Any personal expenses outside the planned itinerary and Access to areas outside Daikoku Parking or any illegal, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

ShawnHoo truly was a great guide and an awesome driver. He really contributed to make this experience as unique and memorable as possible. If you’re looking to discover the underground car culture and to do so by riding an highly performant car, you should definitely book this activity !
Chen was great in the communication and booking and Shaun was a great guide and driver. massively enjoyed the experience even in the rain. loads of cool cars on the Sunday night and a dream come true for me. this has been something I've wanted to do since seeing it as part of the car community. definitely recommend to anyone who loves JDM and he car scene.
Chen was a great driver. Very knowledgeable about the different cars and the stops along the way. Had good music. Was friendly and helped take pictures. Would reccommend if you love cars and want to see outside of Tokyo. Would highly reccommend Chen as a driver!
It was the Most amazing Experience. Loved everything
The drive to Daikoku was fun and Alan spoke excellent English as well as being entertaining. Even though it rained at Daikoku PA there was still a great vibe and so many cool JDM cars. Autobacs was also a worthwhile stop and the whole experience was worth the money!
best thing to do in tokyo, bring a umbrella in case it rains, definitely worth doing
Cho was a fantastic guide and ambassador to Japan. I highly recommend him and we thoroughly enjoyed our Daikoku experience!
I was traveling solo and booked the shared tour, and it turned out to be an amazing experience! I was grouped with six people in total, and we had two fantastic cars to enjoy. We could switch cars during the tour, which made it even more fun. We visited three different locations and saw so many incredible JDM cars, even on a weekday. The whole experience was well organized, exciting, and a great way to discover Tokyo’s car scene. I cannot recommend this tour enough! If you would like to explore JDM car scene, definitely book it. 🙌🏽🚗🇯🇵
Great ride through Tokyo by Night. Our guide was very well of the places we should be. And also made the ride through Tokyo a nice adventure. Fluent English unfortunately was not the case. Whereas we still had nice communication.
Kairin was a great guide his english was excellent. the car was amazing. the whole experience was fantastic for the minute we met, the car meet in daikoku. the whole experience exceeded our expectations. would highly recommend. would give 10 stars
This tour was amazing, driver Kairin was really friendly and a good driver.
Alan was an amazing tour guide! Super friendly and easygoing. Even though I don’t know much about cars myself, he made sure to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand, from the differences between engines to some of the most popular JDM cars. He also told us a lot about the car culture outside of Tokyo, which was really interesting. On top of that, he took some amazing pictures for us! It was a fun experience and definitely one of the highlights of our time in Japan. Would 100%recommend, especially if you want to experience the JDM scene even if you’re not a huge car expert!
