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.
The Service is very good, it was a very fun experience and very nice the operator, was always very attentive and I really liked that he always had a fluid conversation and a very friendly treatment, without hesitation I will recommend it 😁
