Private driving experiences across Japan with a guide who's been here long enough to know where the real moments happen.

Guide standing next to cars at a countryside meet in Japan

Lived-in knowledge.
Not guidebook knowledge.

Nine years in Japan — across Ehime, Hiroshima, and now Kanagawa — and I've spent most of them behind the wheel. Mountain passes, expressways, backroads, car meets. I've been a JDM and drifting obsessive since I was 17, and living here has only made it worse. This isn't a curated tour. It's access to the places, people, and moments that take years to find.

Whether you want to attend a tucked-away car meet in the mountains, need someone to navigate the JDM import scene, or just want a local who speaks the language and knows where to go — I make the complicated simple.

Guide you'll actually need

Pick your kind of Japan.

01

Mountain Pass Routes

The touge roads that inspired Initial D. Early morning, low traffic, your car — or one I can arrange.

02

Car Culture Immersion

Daikoku PA at 2am. Tsurugi meets. The side of Japan that takes years to find invitations into.

03

JDM Sourcing & Import

Auction access, dealer navigation, paperwork translation, and shipment coordination. I've done this. I'll do it for you.

04

Track Day Experiences

Fuji Speedway. Tsukuba. Motegi. I'll book your slot, sort your transport, and brief you on what to expect.

05

Countryside & Backroads

Two-lane prefectural roads through rice paddies and cedar forests. No tour buses. No crowds. Just the drive.
