About this experience
This experience stands out because it allows travelers to explore Tokyo’s famous JDM culture not as tourists, but as true insiders. Guests don’t just visit Daikoku Parking Area — they get the chance to observe a wide range of modified Japanese sports cars, interact with local car owners, and immerse themselves in the authentic night atmosphere.
The tour is conducted with a modified Toyota 86 and follows a scenic nighttime route through Tokyo’s illuminated highways, including Rainbow Bridge. This offers exceptional photo and video opportunities for automotive fans and photographers.
Guests are guided to the best photo spots, given time to capture detailed shots of the cars, and introduced to the JDM community that made Daikoku a globally known hotspot. The experience is safe, personalized, and showcases the real car scene visitors usually cannot access alone.
Note: This is not a taxi service.
