Tokyo: Legendary JDM CAR Daikoku Underground Meetup Tour
About This Experience
Starting near historic Tokyo Station, this tour drives the Shuto Expressway C1 Inner Loop, crosses Rainbow Bridge and follows the Bayshore Route toward Daikoku Parking Area — the legendary meet-up spot where heavily modified cars, sports cars and luxury vehicles gather in one place. Along the way there's a stop at APIT Shinonome, one of Tokyo's largest car shops, for souvenirs, tuning parts and JDM memorabilia.
The guide is a self-described "car guy" — a local enthusiast who knows the scene, culture and history behind the cars you'll see, and narrates the drive in English. The night closes at Tokyo Tower, lit up after dark, for photos at spots the guide picks out. Riders choose between a Basic car (comfortable, mixed group), a JDM Sports Car upgrade, or a Luxury Car (Toyota Alphard) option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I upgrade to ride in an actual JDM sports car?
Yes — alongside the standard Basic car option, the operator offers a paid JDM Sports Car upgrade and a Luxury Car (Toyota Alphard) option. Choose when you book.
Where exactly do I meet my guide?
At the Marunouchi North Exit taxi rank of Tokyo Station — look for a guide holding a yellow "JDM TOUR TOKYO" sign. Arrive a few minutes early, since late arrivals aren't refunded. If you'd rather skip the Tokyo Station start, you can arrange to meet directly at Daikoku PA instead.
Does the tour include getting up the Tokyo Tower observation deck?
No — the Tokyo Tower stop is for photos at street level with the illuminated tower as a backdrop, not admission to the observation deck.
