After we meet, first we will go to APIT, the biggest auto store in the Tokyo area which has everything from car parts, to apparel to books to toys to gadgets and anything related to JDM cars. There are cool cars parked here as well so this is a great place to start the JDM journey.
Stunning lineup of all JDM you can dream of. Just a regular car park turns into a massive car gallery for all enthusiasts. Starting from JDM, you have American muscle cars, the European classics and even audio cars on a random basis. You will not know which cars you will see on the day but guarantee a good show for most nights.

This tour was more of a driver than an actual tour. Our guide was very nice and engaged with my older son (17) throughout the evening. My son is a major car enthusiast. This experience was his birthday present. He loved every second of it. You definitely see a lot of cars and even I (someone much less knowledgeable about cars) was impressed with the auto store.
Hiro was such a friendly and easy-going person! He was incredibly informative, sharing a wealth of knowledge about Japan and even highlighting some of the landmarks he was familiar with. He also ensured we had plenty of time at each spot, so we never felt rushed. Plus, he even showed us the stunning Tokyo skyline, and even gifted us a printed picture souvenir. Overall, we give Hiro and A+++.
I'm not a car person but my husband and son are. To start , we got picked up in a Toyota Crown, with our own driver. First stop was APIT with free time to shop. The cars there driving around were so cool!! Next stop, Daikokou, where we saw even more cars with all their glory on display. We saw Skylines, Silvia, GT 86s and WRX to name a few. Last stop was the Rainbow bridge. That was a breathtaking view of the night time tokyo skyline. Our tour guide, Daisuke, was awesome. Highly recommend this tour even if your not into cars! It was a great way to see the city and expedience the JDM car culture.
Thank you guys for this AWESOME experience!!! Our driver was very friendly, cool guy with super clean car!
Takeshi picked us up from our hotel and was informative and outgoing. He made sure we had time for the car meet, shopping at APIT, a special photo at Rainbow Bridge, and he even showed us one of his special cars! We had a memorable experience and I will definitely call him again if we are able to go back to Japan.
Our host was prompt and polite. Communication was easy, and in English. He is a true car guy. He gave us some history of the car scene. We were picked up at our hotel in a comfortable van. He tool us on the famous C1 highway and Wangan highway that are featured in many games. Daikoku PA did not disappoint on a cool Friday night. He let us explore on our own. It really is a world class car meet, with very interesting JDM and some exotics. A few classics. There were lots of cool cars and people who love them. The atmosphere was laid back. Lots of tourists as well. A-Pit Autobacs is, like another little car meet that happens to have a huge merch store attached to it. Also very cool. Lastly, we were travelling with another two customers who were equally car nuts as us, so we did hit it off. Overall a very cool car guy experience. We got many nice photos. I think it was worthwhile for any car lover.
This was a last minute plan we made just before leaving home and we’re so glad we found it! Our tour guide was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed the drive and of course seeing all the amazing cars.
Hiro made sure I had the best experience. From the drives to several locations to sharing his knowledge on multiple cars at the event and their history in Japan. A top guy to be around and will definitely ride with him again.
The gentlemen took his time with us, showed us around, and even took us to the new location of the car meet. He even waited for us when we went to Autobanpac.
It was fun. I learned alot. The driver was on time and fun as well. Plenty of cars to look at. Will repeat in the future.
It was a nice relaxing experience. Spent the couple hours enjoying everything about cars! And Toshi, our guide, was very kind and fun to talk to!
Hiro was entertaining and knowledgeable about the local street car scene. I have never seen so many R35 GTRs together in one place.
Lots of cars. Don't have to worry about that. Icon cars as well. They provide umbrellas it did rain but not much.
It was really fun, we got to known where people in Tokyo buy and modify their cars (the parking of that place is like a mini daikoku) and then we went to the mail event in which we lost our minds, the place was really packed and full of different cars from animeish to high-end. Really worth the price even though we got sacked by the police due to the amount of people Our guide was Takeshi, Who was great, really fun and he recommended us tons of places around Tokyo to visit.
Super fun Tokyo activity!!! We went with our two boys 12 and 9 and they loved it. Takeshi our tour guide was super rad, English was very good too! Really easy communication, pickup, etc. highly recommend!!!!
Awesome tour of Tokyo car scene- Takashi was very knowledgable and helpful. We were about to see a bunch of JDM cars that, if we hadn’t taken this tour, would have missed. Thank You
Great experience!! Driver was super friendly and provided me and my friends a great time. Definitely would recommend.
We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the tour immensely. Takashi was an amazing host. We had great conversations about the car culture in Japan and his experiences being part of it. Two of my sons, who are really into cars, thought it was an excellent experience as did the other 4 of us, who are more casual fans of the scene. Highly recommend!
Hiro was brilliant! Very helpful and knew exactly where to go. definitely one of the best trips for our son. The cars we saw where amazing
Great host and was a super fun experience for me and my kids. This was an excellent intro to the Tokyo car scene with a host who also loves cars, racing, mods, and knows the history here locally. Must do local experience.
Takeshi was on time, friendly and hospitable. He answered all our questions and was a pleasure to work with.
Toshi our driver was amazing, great tour of daikoku so many cars were there He even took us to tokyo tower for a photo opp on the way home
Must try experience! Toshi was our driver and very knowledgeable about the trip and questions we asked! Toshi is very nice and respectful. Even got us coffee while at autobacs! I Woukd definitely do this again next time we’re back in Japan! 5 stars across the board
I give Hiro 5 stars. He was funny as hell and that itself was awesome. He communicated well, made us feel like home, chill and relaxed. Thank you for everything!
Amazing! I’ve booked with them before and each time they deliver. Hiro was my guide this time and was very informative. Beautiful cars and and smooth ride to and from pickup location. 10/10 would book again :)
Absolutely brilliant trip for all car people. Takeshi was a great guy and very knowledgeable about the Tokyo car scene.
Highly recommend if you want to see Daikoku Parking Area. It ran very smoothly with a friendly guide.
Hiro was awesome about picking us up from our hotel. It was fun finally being able to get to see Daikoku and the atmosphere.
Our travel agent helped us book this tour with Takeshi for our honeymoon trip to Japan and it was amazing! Really cool to experience Japanese car culture at night and we even got to stop at a scenic spot for a view of the rainbow bridge to get some photos. Would definitely recommend for the car enthusiasts!
Great tour and experience. Highly recommend booking! There was no difficulties at all. Great experience and would definitely do it again!
Hiro was a great guide very knowledgeable and made the experience unforgettable. We went on a Saturday night and there were many cars to look at. Would highly recommend this tour. Good communication also.
Takeshi Jeffers was a great host and we had an amazing experience! I would highly recommend this activity
Awesome guide to Daikoku and very knowledgeable of Japan car culture. Very friendly to us and accomodating. Lots of fun and saw some really cool cars.
Was a very nice experience! The cars looked really cool and we had a nice time with the guide. Car ride was awesome and the guide offers some more attractions.
What can I say ..this was a fantastic tour. First the operators were so incredibly kind when I unavoidably missed the first reservation I made. They found a way to get me into a tour before I had to leave Tokyo . Second the car is run by people who really know their stuff - our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the cars, engine specs , history , the roads , the culture . Third the program was impeccably planned just the right amount of time at each venue ...bathrooms/food and not to miss sights were pointed out and the guide was exactly where he said he would be at the time he said would be . Finally It didn't feel like a tour ..it felt like I had a pal in Tokyo who was showing us something that he was very passionate about and wanted to share his excitement with us. Absolutely nailed it . I will be back and will recommend to others ! Thank you for the experience .
We were very excited to have the chance to go to Daikoku with Takeshi. He was a fantastic guide who customized a tour, including a van for all of us. Communications from him were very kind, clear and prompt. We had a fun, memorable time, thanks to Takeshi.
The driver, Matenro, was very friendly and well speaking english. Even when Daikoku place was close by police during our rush time there because of Tokyo Autosalon, he mmanaged go to other similar place to meet those cars, which came from Daikoku area. Finaly we received what we were looking for! We enjoyed many tuned cars there on the service area between tunels from Yokohama to Chiba. We absolutely recommend this service of Matenro. Whats more, we enjoyed the ride by his Lexus LS 460! Thank you a lot! Martin and Martin
Awesome authentic experience - thankyou Takeshi for sharing your knowledge and insights! The boys (and I) thoroughly enjoyed it! From a parent perspective - felt we were all in safe hands. Highly recommended!
Had a great time going out to Daikoku with Takeshi! Prompt comms after booking, door to door service from our hotel in Ueno and very knowledgeable about the car scene. Highly recommended!
Very different meeting. I personally enjoy more the drift experience, but even so I thought it was a nice thing seeing those tunned cars. More than that, I received valueble tourism informations by an excellent guide, during the jice ride until Daikoku. Thank you Takeshi!!
This was such a great experience! The drive there was comfortable and met some great people. It was my dream to see these cars in Japan and I loved every minute :)
Takeshi is an amazing guide. He picked up as at the hotel, we visited a parts shop and got to the Daikoku. Even it was not full, but still worth it
Great time. Guide is super knowledgeable and makes the drive interesting there and back. Awesome cars and great people.
This was a great experience and good value for money, Takeshi is an all knowing expert when it comes to JDM car culture and is also very polite, professional and easy to chat to. My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, we booked for a Sunday night and it was a great turn out at Daikoku PA. It was a smooth pick up drop off process and we felt super comfortable on this tour.
Takashi was great showing us around and explaining everything that goes on with the car meet, my two boys loved it!! I would recommend this to anyway that wants to see what the car scene is like on Japan!
My grandson and I booked this event in Tokyo. Takeshi was our guide. This was a fabulous night. There were about 400 cars at the meet which made my grandson so very excited. Takeshi was fabulous. He picked us up from our hotel and delivered us back after the meet, via the rainbow bridge. Takeshi engaged my car-loving grandson in conversation, was kind, considerate and ensured we were in a safe environment. Thanks heaps Takeshi. A memory we aren’t likely to forget. 😍
Takeshi provided a great experience. He was the on time to pick us up and provided us with plenty of guidance prior to the event. I would highly recommend signing up for the Daikoku Car Meet experience with him
Takeshi is an awesome guide and driver. Kind, knowledgable about the city and JDM culture, and went above and beyond to accommodate us! Would highly recommend for car enthusiasts or anyone really. The other person in my group is a car enthusiast while I am not but we both really enjoyed the night and learned a lot!
Takeshi was a great guide, really devoted to make it the best experience he can. He took me and another guest to daikoku. When we got there he explained where the action is and gave us some free time to explore the area. On the way back we drove on the rainbow bridge which is beautifully at night. The whole tour took about 3.5 - 4 hours, perfect for finishing a day in tokyo.
