My family and I had a great time experiencing Tokyo's car culture on a Sunday tour! Michael drove us around to some key areas, and then the featured Daikoku Parking Area, which is a highway rest stop and can only be accessed by car. It was great to hear about Michael’s life in Tokyo and his knowledge and passion for cool cars. He helped us see some fun cars and people and get a glimpse into this aspect of Tokyo life. The tour was relaxed and fun, with plenty of time to soak it all in.

Michael was our guide and was great. Very knowledgeable about cars, especially since he worked in the industry and collected models as a child. I took my 19 year old son and Michael asked him “what are the three dream cars you want to see today”. Sure enough, we saw two right away and right before leaving, we saw the third one. Daikoku PA is a dream area as a car meet. Like Forrest Gump says “life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get”. The magical cars kept rolling off the freeway and into Daikoku for us.

Taking the chance of biz trip for Japan, I booked this day trip to see the cars what I heard it is supposed to be amazing! I got some free time and booked the trip here, that was unexpectedly much more fun than I imagined!!it’s not just a few cars… soooo many interesting cas come out to the day, in the sun, all those cars look stunning! Not only this, many people would gather here to walk around and talk, it’s not the culture we would expect anywhere outside of Japan! People are so nice to talk with! One thing I need to say here is, I booked this trip was because all other tour schedules were full at the time, although this one was still only 1 review but I noticed the person running it mentioned that he had been working in the automotive industry 20+ years! Since I am also working in the same industry, this trip definitely will make the unexpected plus for my work :) well, it did!! He is an amazing person, so friendly and not only about the 20+ year’s industry knowledge, also the wide range of the preferences!! I was content with this trip and hope this review can be some reference for those are considering booking the trip for Daikoku.

As a photographer I am always on the search for something new, a new perspective, or a new subject, or simply the right climate or atmosphere to capture. It is those undefined moments, when captured at the right time, that tell a story through the image. I was looking for something new and came across this tour run by Misiu JDM X, and thought, why not. Cars are a new thing for me, and I wanted to see if that is something I want to dive into. Short answer, YES! Let me tell you. I was blown away. Daikoku PA was just MAD. It is just crazy how many different cars are there. The cars, the people, the electric vibe were great. Oh, and the views of Tokyo were amazing too. Thank you Michael for the experience, the stories, and I looking forward to working with you in the future!
