Tokyo: Daikoku JDM Car Meet & Night Car Culture Tour
About This Experience
If Tokyo Drift, Fast & Furious, Initial D or Wangan Midnight got you into car culture, this tour takes you to the real places behind them. It is a car meet, not a stunt show: the listing is clear there is no drifting, street racing or rev battles.
Hosts usually visit two or three car-culture spots, chosen on the night from Daikoku PA, Tatsumi PA, Umihotaru PA, Gaienmae and A-PIT Autobacs, and may pass Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Tower on the way. The vehicle depends on the option you book: the JDM Legends option uses a premium van (a Nissan Elgrand or Honda Elysion), while Night Legends uses a premium sedan, an RV37 Skyline or Lexus LS460. An early Sunday morning option catches longtime local owners bringing out classics in daylight.

We had a ton of fun. The guide was professional, knowledgeable and informative. We saw a ton of really nice cars and took tons of pictures and videos. I highly recommend this tour if you want to see some more exotic aspects of this city.

The tour was very cool and our guide had so much knowledge, which helped as I did not know a lot about the whole JDM culture. We got fairly lucky with what we saw and the journey was smooth. Highly recommended if you like super cars
