WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Roppongi Hills, Shop & Restaurant
Along the way you will pass the Roppongi Hills Mori Tower building, home to many prestigious international companies, upscale shopping, and fine dining.
2. Tokyo Tower
Seeing the Tokyo Tower from the C1 Loop Hwy at night is an incredible experience.
3. Rainbow Bridge
On the way we will cross the Tokyo Rainbow Bridge with views that are simply divine, spectacular, awe inspiring. There are many places that you can see Tokyo at night but this one can only be seen from the car, and what a view it is! On one side you will see a spectacular city scape full of lights and on the other, equally impressive lights of Odaiba island with its amazing Fuji TV building.
4.
There are many ways to experience a vibrant city like Tokyo but nothing compares to a night run on the highways around the city. Looping the iconic C1 Hwy, immortalized in video games and in car lore, weaving between buildings and through tunnels just hits different. Night scenery is spectacular. We will take a 20min break at Tatsumi PA, a place where many car enthusiasts come for a stop while making loops on the highway or getting ready to head to, or are coming back from Daikoku PA. Approximately 30-40min of driving in comfort and 20-30min stop to stretch your legs.
5. Odaiba District
While crossing the Tokyo Rainbow Bridge you will get great views of Odaiba, the man-made island home to residential buildings, shopping, and leisure activities. You will get a chance to see the unusual Fuji TV building among others.
6. Haneda Airport Terminal 2 Departure Area Airport Lounge
We will pass through the Haneda Airport through tunnels under the runways. If we are lucky and the time is right then we can see airliners taxiing above us as we enter the tunnels.
7. Yokohama Bay Bridge
Just before arriving at Daikoku PA you will get an amazing view of the Yokohama Bay Bridge and off the Yokohama skyline. Yokohama is a major cruise ship stop and you may see those also.
8. Daikoku Parking Area
Heading towards your final destination we will take the Wangan Hwy. This is a long straight highway connecting Tokyo and Yokohama made famous by the street racing escapades of the '90s and a manga, aptly named Wangan Midnight. Ever since then it has been the artery connecting key epicenters of Japanese Car Culture. Daikoku PA is an unassuming parking area that has been a place for nightly car gatherings for decades. You can see iconic JDM machines from stock, classic to wild time attack builds, from drift machines to Kaido Racers, and from obscure to highly popular. There is probably something for everyone there. You will also find plenty of Euro metal and American muscle. If you are lucky, you may see supercars, vintage classics, lowrider, and hot rods, you name it. You will be driven in comfort for 30-40min and rest for 2hrs to stretch your legs, shop, and drink if you so desire. All along we will immerse you in the stories behind the car culture and life in Japan.
9. Minatomirai
On the way back you get a beautiful view of the Yokohama city skyline, Minatomirai area, and Yokohama Port.
10. Rainbow Bridge
One of the best views of the Tokyo city skyline is from the car when you cross the Rainbow Bridge from the Odaiba side to Tokyo....breathtaking.
11. Shibuya
On the way back to Shibuya you will have more opportunities to see the awesome night views of Yokohama and Tokyo. The crossing of the Tokyo Rainbow Bridge from the Odaiba side to Tokyo is among the most spectacular views of the Tokyo skyline. The drive back will take 45-60min with even more opportunities to take photos/videos while engaged in fun conversations about cars, the people, and life in Japan in general.

The Daikoku tour itself was a visual feast for any car lover, but having Michael as our guide truly elevated the experience. His dedication to sharing his passion for cars and his friendly, approachable demeanor made for an unforgettable tour. I highly recommend this tour to car guy visiting Tokyo, and I can’t thank Michael enough for making it such a memorable experience.

Michael is a great organizer. From the drive to the information covering all aspects, even beyond the car meet, of Japanese life, you felt very well taken care of. It is worthwhile to take the tour with Michael!

Micheal was a very good host.
We went on a Friday and experienced a huge number of car enthusiasts at the parking area. Goosebumps! One for the books, indeed!

From start to finish Michael was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and spoke with such enthusiasm. This experience is amazing, if you are really into the JDM scene and want to see racing areas that were in video games and movies this is for you. Daikoku for us anyway had just the right amount of cars to see. We booked on a weekday and although not as pumping as the weekend it was still a pretty cool scene. Van that we were picked up in was clean and very comfortable. Don’t hesitate! book it!

The car culture scene in Tokyo is very unique in that there is a lot of variety in the cars that are here. You never know what you’re gonna see and we were not disappointed. It was well worth the time and money!
