About this experience
Tokyo changes completely at night, and this experience lets you discover it from a perspective most travelers never see. Instead of crowded tourist buses and rushed viewpoints, you ride through the city in a JDM sports car with a professional driver who knows the routes, the spots and the culture. From the lights of Shibuya Crossing to the panoramic views from Rainbow Bridge and the legendary Daikoku Parking Area, the tour mixes sightseeing, photography and automotive culture in a smooth and memorable way.
Guests can relax, enjoy the views, take photos and learn about Tokyo’s car scene without worrying about navigation, language barriers or local rules. It’s ideal for travelers, photographers, car lovers and anyone looking for something more unique than a standard sightseeing tour. Because the experience runs at night, the views are cinematic, the roads are quieter and the city feels different. For many guests, this tour becomes one of the highlights of their trip to Japan.
