    Amazing experience

    Cristian_L, Dec 2025
    We had an amazing experience with Graham. My partner, who isn't as passionate about cars as I am, enjoyed it immensely and would even like to do it again! Graham explained so many things to us and took us to the best places. It was an incredible day in an amazing car, surrounded by amazing people and even more amazing cars. If you come to Tokyo, whether you're into cars or not, I 100% recommend this tour to experience the culture and get away from the city center and the usual tourist spots.

    Great experience!

    Amabilia_C, Dec 2025
    Graham was a fantastic tour guide and provided a ton of interesting details about the city, insights on cars, and life in Japan, on the drive to the parking lot. The car meet was great tons of amazing JDM cars, skylines, RX-7s, Subarus, Silvia’s. A few German cars, Porsches, BMWs mixed in. Even a few exotics., saw a Lamborghini and an Aston Martin. Car owners were friendly and happy to share about themselves and their cars. You essentially have an hour to wander around looking at cars taking videos and chatting with the owners. We also got to see the Odaiba fireworks up close on the drive home. Overall great experience,

    Another side of Tokyo

    Jeremy was a great host. The car was cool and the experience was a great change of pace. Got some excellent nighttime photos of the Tokyo skyline and the bridge and of course of some nice cars. We almost booked with another provider that offered pickup at our hotel for 3 times the cost, but glad we didn’t! Afterwards, Jeremy was kind enough to drop us off at the hotel.

    Best way to show up to Daikoku in style

    Iris_D, Oct 2025
    This experience was so fun!! My fiancée wanted to check out Daikoku, and this tour was a great way to get there in style. The Itasha cars were so cool to see and ride around in. We were paired up with Mrs. 303, Hiroku, and we had an absolute blast with her. The cars and the ride were exhilarating, but she really made our night! This was such a memorable experience with great people, great sights, and great fun!

    Simply perfect!

    Jakob_H, Oct 2025
    Really cool experience! You get he feeling of being “local” and part of a unique culture for a short while.

    Brilliant

    Marc_S, Sep 2025
    I was driven in a beautiful GTR to the area where the Japanese car fanatics meet up. The drive itself was fantastic with amazing views and there were loads of very cool cars at the the daikoku parking area including a mclaren. I was driven by Jeremy's wife who was just lovely. Worth every yen.

    Very nice driver and amazing car Great experience for those who are fond of car Amazing tour of the town

    Best car meet and tour out there

    Priti_H, Jul 2025
    Amazing experience and fun safe drive towards meet. We got to see older jdm cars like the r34 skyline gtr and even some Italian sports cars like Ferrari's

    Lots of Cars!

    Renee_G, Jun 2025
    It was pretty fun. The car was not made for tall people - 5’ 10” and 6’ 4” but we knew that going in. The ride from the pickup point to the parking lot in Yokohama was about 35-40 minutes. There were quite a few cars there for a Tuesday night. I didn’t count, but maybe 75 or more. It was fun checking them out. Our driver was knowledgeable. My only thing was that he was far more interested in chatting with my partner (male) than me (female.) I brought up specific car topics and questions, and felt largely ignored by him. Or he had to “one-up” me. But overall it was a fun experience (we went for the cars) and I would recommend.

    Nice spot

    Kestas_S, Apr 2025
    It was nice to see famous meeting spot and some tuned Japanese cars. The ride i Toyota 86 was quite cool too. I had a good chat with Graham about cars and motoring in Japan.

    Cool outing for car enthusiasts

    Antonia_B, Feb 2025
    We had a great time visiting Daikoku with our guide Alistair. He was fantastic in explaining the specific elements of Tokyo and making suggestions for the rest of our time in the city. At the parking area was a cool mix of exotics, JDM and old school cars to get a sense of the Tokyo car scene.

    Great ride and lots of nice cars

    Gabrielle_d, Feb 2025
    We were taken in a GTR and it was a great drive. There was very little traffic and could open up the car on the highways. We arrived and there were some great cars to see and the owners of the cars were very nice to talk with. Graham, our driver, was great to chat with.

    Car Meet

    Robert_W, Dec 2024
    Our driver was a car buff & enjoyed his job. Told us keeps about the car meet, the cars & the city highlights. Really enjoyed the experience & it was the highlight for my teenage boys. We went in a Nissan GTR 35, awesome car! 🚙

    Bikram_A, Oct 2024
    This was a great experience and really easy way to get to experience Daikoku PA. Met so many cool people and they were very friendly and very willing to show off their cars.

    Best experience in Tokyo

    Semen_N, Aug 2024
    We went to the Daikoku PA tonight and it was great! First of all, the experience was amazing. We’ve got to see a lot of rare cars, feel the vibes and interact with the surroundings. Secondly, during the ride we’ve had the ability to see the light of a nighttime Tokyo. And the most important thing about our ride is the driver: nanakommm. We’ve had a great conversation, good time and many laughs. We would like to thank her and Jeremy for the opportunity to experience this wonderful event! P.S. we would like to highlight that this trip is not only suitable for car enthusiasts , but for everybody in general. P.P.S. Mary is sending love to nanakommm for having the best evening in Japan! (This is the experience to be remembered) xoxo. Much love from Saint-Petersburg!!!

    Must do , car enthusiasts.

    buruttu, Jun 2024
    Our teenage son is a car enthusiast and this was a must to do during our vacation in Japan. Riding a Toyota GT 86 , crossing The Rainbow Bridge and arriving to DAIKOKU parking like a celebrity. Thank you Jeremy for the experience.

    A unique and fun night in Tokyo

    Darrick_A, Jun 2024
    This was an outstanding experience. Totally unique and made our trip to Tokyo that much more memorable. You show up at the car meet like a rockstar with folks lining up to take pics as you drive by. Definitely recommend.

    My Son was in Heaven!

    Paula_A, Jun 2024
    Wonderful experience, my son was able to choose which car he wanted to take to the meet up. On our way to the meet up Jeremy was very informative about the types of cars we would see during the meet up. When we arrived he drove around the meet up and let us know the types of cars that were out before letting us venture on our own. Absolutely amazing experience! Jeremy's car was also one of the hottest on the lot! Highly recommend!

    Fun late night tour for the teenagers

    Rod_K, Jun 2024
    Good fun to see and live a little of the Japanese car culture with a local guide expert on the cars.

    Highly recommend!!

    Sarah_H, May 2024
    This is an awesome experience, highly recommend!! Jeremy is an awesome guide, very knowledgable and happy to chat both about cars as well as life in Tokyo. Every night at Daikoku is differnt so you never know what you will get, but we saw some amazing cars and had the best expereience! Also, handy info - the parking lot has shops, vending machines and toilets.

    Awesome experience if you like cars

    Miguel_T, Apr 2024
    My son and I really enjoyed the trip to Daikoku, the car of the ride is cool and the trip is excellent!

    Arriving in Style!

    AsheTanie_W, Apr 2024
    I took this Daikoku tour with Jeremy and his car alone was AMAZING. He was super knowledgeable about the area and takes you on a joy ride to the parking lot. No better way to arrive to this car meet other than this. He let me take plenty of photos and videos so if you’re looking to make your trip to Daikoku memorable book this one!

    A must do for car enthusiasts!

    Harry_V, Apr 2024
    This was a great experience for my kids (19 and 23). There were over 300 cars at the meet. Lots of cool cars to see. The area was packed. The driver was great. He talked to my son about the different cars in Japan and the other people he knows with fast cars. My son and my daughter were so happy for the experience.

    Daikoku Experience at its best.

    Franz_H, Mar 2024
    Can absolutely recommend this experience! You will arrive with one of the coolest cars at the Daikoku Parking Area and Jeremy knows his way around the tuning scene.

    Great experience

    Karolina_P, Mar 2024
    Great experience ! Highly recommended !!! Jeremy has been very accommodating! 10/10 excellent , thank you very much ! We learned after the tour that the character that is on the car is actually created by Jeremy! He is very knowledgeable about the cars so don’t be shy to ask your questions !! We got to see some pretty cool cars at the car meetup even though it was pretty cold that day. You must book this experience when in Japan to experience the car culture. Don’t miss out !

    Luck and weather dependent

    Jo_L, Feb 2024
    Depends on luck and weather if there is anything to see that night. So unluckily we ended up not seeing much.

    Response from Host, Mar 2024

    thanks for your review. Unfortunately I cannot control these things. I always give the option to cancel if the weather is bad.

    Cool experience

    Tihomir_M, Feb 2024
    It was a really cool experience, drive through night Tokyo was a blast, expected a slower night but I saw a lot of cool cars, host was a professional in every sense of the word, answered all questions about the cars and life in Japan, once again thank you Jeremy!

    Highlight of the trip for revheads

    Tracey_C, Feb 2024
    I booked for my 2 sons and a mate aged 20 and 17 and this was one of the highlights of the trip. Communication was excellent, arranged midnight collection and drop off at accommodation. The boys loved seeing all the cars and the atmosphere. Thank you.

    The best experience

    Michael_B, Jan 2024
    I had the best experience with Jeremy. He was an amazing host looked after his clients well. The cars and his knowledge of the car scene in Japan was great. Even being in his car driving to the meet was amazing. Honestly loved it, would recommend to everyone that loves cars.
