Itinerary

Roppongi Hills, Shop & Restaurant (Pass By)

Along the way you will pass the Roppongi Hills Mori Tower building, home to many prestigious international companies, upscale shopping, and fine dining.
Rainbow Bridge (Pass By)

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.
Odaiba District (Pass By)

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.
Koto

TIME includes a 25min ride to Autobacs and 25min at the location. We will make a top at the A PIT Autobacs store. This is Autobacs' flagship store and is an absolute pleasure to browse all things car relate. In a world of online shopping, it is refreshing to see all these accessories and parts in real life. There is a thing to be said about brick & mortar stores.

50 minutes
Tatsumi No.1 Parking Area (up)

TIME includes a quick 10min hop to Tatsumi and 15min rest at the place. We will take a 15min 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. This is an iconic photo location from GT video game and a spawn point in Asseto Corsa.

25 minutes
Tokyo Skytree (Pass By)

While on our way to Daikoku along the Furukawa Line we will have fabulous views of the Tokyo Skytree, one of the tallest structures in the world.
Haneda Airport Terminal 2 Departure Area Airport Lounge (Pass By)

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.
Yokohama Bay Bridge (Pass By)

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.
Daikoku Parking Area

TIME includes a 40min, conversation filled, ride to Daikoku and a 60min stop at the location. 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. All along we will immerse you in the stories behind the car culture and life in Japan.

1 hour 40 minutes
Minatomirai (Pass By)

On the way back you get a beautiful view of the Yokohama city skyline, Minatomirai area, and Yokohama Port.
Rainbow Bridge (Pass By)

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.
Tokyo Tower (Pass By)

Seeing the Tokyo Tower from the C1 Loop Hwy at night is an incredible experience.
Shibuya

TIME reflects our ride back from Daikoku to Shibuya with views of Minatomirai, Tokyo Tower, and of Tokyo from the Rainbow Bridge. 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.

Amazing JDM-Meeting

Published on Dec, 2024

Our Host Mori was absolutely amazing. He was friendly, explained everything to us and took us to the hotspot of the cars. Absolutely brilliant.

Good tour to get to know the spots for the first time.

Published on Dec, 2024

During the itinerary in the main parking zones, we saw different cars in each stop not many but enough to get a bit hyped about it. It was just a shame that during the week Daikoku Park is not usually very busy, but it was still cool. The tour guide was a chill guy and we had fun talking all together while getting to the spots. Overall it was a nice tour, definitely would do it again but on Saturday or Sunday.
