About the Tour
Daikoku Parking Area is world renowned as the ultimate car meet destination. For many enthusiasts, visiting Daikoku is a key reason for coming to Japan. So instead of showing up in a van or a bland rental car, why not arrive in a car you're genuinely excited to drive — one that belongs at the meet?

Fridays, weekends and public holidays are the best times to visit Daikoku PA, when the lot comes alive sometimes with over 100 modified cars spanning a wide range of styles and builds. Drivers Lounge offers an affordable, self-drive package that lets you experience Daikoku in true JDM fashion, without the hassle of long train rides or struggling to find parking in Central Tokyo. Our all-inclusive service means you start and finish at our convenient Kawasaki location.

Our Daikoku Sunset Cruise Tour begins at 5PM with a 15 minute relaxed evening cruise through the streets of Kawasaki, followed by a 20 minute highway drive along the Tomei Expressway and the Kanagawa section of the Shutoko. We will stop for approximately 90 minutes at Daikoku Parking Area, giving you time to stretch your legs, grab a refreshment, and immerse yourself in Japan’s vibrant car culture.
On the way back, we will make a short stop at an ENEOS gas station, a perfect photo opportunity for you and the JDM car you’re driving with the iconic ENEOS backdrop. Afterward, we will return to the Drivers Lounge office in Kawasaki.

We do not stop at A-Pit or Tokyo Tower during the tour. Instead of joining a JDM tour with limited time at these locations, we recommend our customers to visit them by train so you can enjoy shopping at A-Pit and admiring Tokyo Tower at your own pace.
