Excellent Tour - Communication was great, and John did his best to accommodate us. We were picked up on time in a WRX and taken on a great tour. Would recommend to anyone interested in exploring the Tokyo car scene.

John was great - John was great. The tour was also great other than some traffic issues as a result of the expressway closing down as a result of a burning car that were out of anyone’s control. John was nimble enough to give a great experience despite the unexpected set back

Terrific JDM tour! - My teenage son is very interested in cars, so we did the JDM tour. It was great. John was very knowledgeable, he had friends at every stop and is a big fan of cars too. He was friendly and very patient, and speaks fluent English. Five stars no notes.

Fantastic and personable experience - What a fantastic tour and guide. John hung out with us and showed us a grand time. We had 2 hiccups, which was to say that there was a date change by the venue but it was communicated well ahead of time. And also on the day of there were 2 other guests who had also booked and were to join us. That said, the other guests were running over 20 minutes late, and John informed them that they’d have to miss it to be respectful for us and our time and how traffic gets progressively bad and would make for an inferior all around experience. (If it was just their tour he would wait for them of course, but not at the expense of others). I appreciate this attention to detail. We headed out and John was extremely friendly and personable. It’s a bit of a drive but the scenery and driving and car were very pleasant. We got a tour of the Daikoku parking area, and then the auto shop with plenty of fun souvenirs, and then a short visit to Tokyo Tower which was beautiful, and because our place was near the pickup location we even got door-to-door service. All in all highly recommended for anyone! I’m not even that into cars but my kid was very motivated and it was fantastic.

Nice adventure! - What a great experience! The cars, the driving, the nighttime lights & sights. Truly memorable and you would still enjoy it even if you aren’t a car nut. We are though and thought it was fantastic. Highly recommended. Thank you John!

Fun surprise 🤩 - This was such a fun experience, my 13 year old son and I truly did not know what to expect from this and it turned out to be a lot more fun than what we anticipated. John was so cool and accommodating, he brought his camera out and it suddenly turned into a full on photo session with some pretty cool cars! Anyone who is a fan of cars would truly geek out about this experience. The stop at the auto shop was pretty cool too, my son found some mangas he was looking for so it was quite the pleasant surprise to find that there, but this wasn’t your ordinary autoshop, they literally have everything! Our next stop on the tour we sort of improvised and I loved that John gave us the option of where to go, got to see the gundam ststue and got some pretty cool photos of the city’s skyline from there. We rode in a WRX and the whole experience definitely gave “Tokyo drift” vibes. Thanks John, this was so fun!

A Must-Do Experience - If you're looking for the heart of Tokyo’s car culture, you have to book this excursion with John. We spent the night hitting all the best car meets across the city, and the access for photos was incredible. It’s easily one of the coolest ways to see the city lights and experience the local scene at the same time. John really knows his stuff and made the whole night seamless. I’d recommend this to any friend in a heartbeat. Honestly, I enjoyed it so much that I would do it all over again even though I’ve already experienced it. Don't think twice, just book it!
