Description
First we will head to the famous Daikoku Parking Area via the Shuto Expressway — very familiar to driving game fans as one of the most complex and fascinating pieces of architecture for a city highway!
Next, we pass Rainbow Bridge, one of the best skylines in Tokyo at night, and a beautiful scene to take photos from the car. Then, we take the Wangan Highway (Bayshore Route) straight up to Yokohama for a total of about 30 minutes, until we arrive at Daikoku Parking Area.
You can see and take pictures of the world's most stunning, sometimes colorful, and always interesting machinery — just like a clip from a Fast and Furious movie, but LIVE!
Like any car park in Japan, this is a place to park your car... and yet this is no ordinary rest area, for this is the Daikoku PA — the now-iconic meeting point in Yokohama for JDM enthusiasts.
Optional: We can also stop by at Japan's largest auto parts and accessories shop on the way. And extra 10,000 JPY will be charged.
Let me know once your booking is confirmed if you want to stop by this sports car hangout in Tokyo. Owners of JDM cars wash their rides here, and buy parts for maintenance. This is a great spot to pick up accessories, clothes, car parts, and much more.
Moving on to popular gifts and souvenirs: accessories such as key chains, stickers and magnets. Car magazines are also a popular gift item. Japanese car magazines sold overseas are few in kind and very expensive. Some tourists buy books in bulks.
Pickup car is a white LEXUS LS460 or TOYOTA Alphard. Very comfortable rides. All transportation fees are included.
Finally, drop off at starting location or anywhere preferably 5 km within center of Tokyo.
