More Than a Drive.
ITADAKI was created for those who want to experience Japan’s car culture beyond ordinary sightseeing. We believe that a true automotive experience is not just about riding in a famous car, visiting popular spots, or taking photos. It is about understanding the passion, respect, craftsmanship, and local atmosphere that have shaped Japan’s performance car scene.
From the urban car culture of Tokyo, to the heritage of NISMO, and the scenic mountain roads of Hakone, ITADAKI offers carefully guided experiences designed to connect guests with the real spirit of Japanese car life.
We do not offer reckless driving, racing, or staged entertainment. Every experience is built on safe and responsible public-road driving, respect for local communities, and a deep appreciation for the cars, roads, and people that make this culture special.
ITADAKI is more than a tour. It is a gateway into Japan’s authentic automotive world — a premium experience created for guests who seek something genuine, respectful, and unforgettable.

Nights, roads and the cars in between.
Born and raised in Tokyo.
Born and raised in Tokyo, I’ve been immersed in JDM culture for more than a decade. Cars and the roads of Tokyo have been part of my life for many years, and I’d love to share some of the places and experiences that have shaped the Japan I know and love.
Along the way, I hope to help you discover a different side of Japan and capture a few moments worth taking home with you. I look forward to welcoming you and making your time in Japan truly memorable.

Before you book.
Where is hotel pickup available?
Hotel pickup is available from hotels within Tokyo’s 23 wards. If your hotel is outside this area, please contact ITADAKI before booking to confirm your meeting arrangements. Enter your hotel name and address when booking — you can also add a Google Maps link — and your exact pickup location and time will be confirmed individually.
How many people can join?
Up to 3 guests: one front passenger seat and two rear seats. The price shown is the total for your whole private group, not per person.
Can I drive the GT-R?
No. Your host drives for the whole experience. There is no self-drive option, and no racing or drifting.
Will we see cars at Daikoku PA?
Daikoku PA is a public parking area. Access can be closed without notice, and which cars are there on any given night is never guaranteed. Your host will adjust the route if it is closed.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Routes and stops may change with weather, traffic, road closures or venue conditions. If ITADAKI cannot operate your experience at all, you may choose a full refund or a complimentary reschedule.
How do I pay, and can I cancel?
Payment is made online in Japanese yen when you book, and your reservation is confirmed once payment is complete. Cancel at least 24 hours before the start for a full refund, or contact ITADAKI at least 24 hours ahead to request one complimentary reschedule, subject to availability. Cancellations within 24 hours and confirmed same-day bookings are non-refundable.
