The LG Difference

Premium service,
zero hassle

Fully insured, no surprises

Every tour vehicle comes with full coverage. Drive with complete peace of mind on every mountain pass and highway loop.

Clear pricing, no hidden fees

Flights, hotels, activities, fuel, tolls, insurance. Everything you pay for is what you get. Nothing added at checkout.

Lead car on every drive

You drive the JDM icon. A professional lead car guides the route — from Hakone sunrise to Daikoku midnight.

Support, start to finish

Australian host end-to-end. Japanese partners on the ground. 24/7 support from the moment you book to the day you fly home.

Trusted On The Ground

Operated with experienced
local providers in Japan

LG Auto Tours is built on long-standing relationships with established operators in Japan. Every detail — fleet, insurance, lead cars, circuit access, garage introductions — is delivered by people who do this every day, not by middlemen.

01

Fully insured fleet

Every vehicle is supplied through an established local operator with full insurance, road-legal compliance, and proper support vehicles on tour.

02

Local-only operators

We don't import foreign guides. Every drive, garage visit and midnight meet is delivered by people who live Japanese car culture every day.

03

Curated JDM fleet

A small, hand-picked rotation of legendary JDM machinery — Supras, rotaries, Evos, GT-Rs — prepared and maintained by specialists.

04

24/7 on-tour support

Experienced local lead cars, recovery, and a dedicated English-speaking support line from arrival to departure.

For operational and privacy reasons, specific partner names and fleet providers are shared with confirmed guests as part of the pre-tour briefing — never publicly listed.

The Story

Built from obsession.
Delivered by locals.

LG Auto Tours started the way every car obsession starts — a kid taping JDM posters to a bedroom wall, dreaming about Daikoku at 3am. Years later, after dozens of trips to Japan and a network built from countless meets and mountain runs, that dream became an actual tour.

Every tour is the trip Lenny wishes he'd been able to book the first time he flew to Tokyo. Hosted by an Australian who lives the culture. Delivered on the ground by our Japanese partners. Built for the people who already know exactly which cars they want to sit in.

Frequently Asked Questions

We offer two packages built around the same 7-day Tokyo tour. The flagship package includes return flights from Australia plus 4★ accommodation, hosted activities including midnight car meets at Daikoku, Hakone mountain drives, a professional drift experience, visits to famous tuning garages, and all on-tour transport. The Tour-Only package is identical on the ground but without flights — designed for guests already in Japan or who prefer to book their own airfare.

No. Our LG Auto Tours welcome merchandise is supplied exclusively to confirmed tour guests as part of your welcome package — it's not sold online or to non-bookers. The only way to receive it is by booking a tour.

All drivers must be at least 21 years old on the tour start date and hold a valid International Driver's Licence (IDP) issued in their home country. The IDP must be valid for the full duration of the tour. You'll acknowledge these requirements as part of the booking process.

Yes. An International Driver's Licence (IDP) is a legal requirement to drive in Japan. Apply through your country's automobile association (e.g. in Australia this is typically AAA or RACV/NRMA/RACQ) well before travel. Without a valid IDP you will not be permitted to drive on tour.

Yes. Each driving activity on the tour — midnight meet, mountain drive, drift day, scenic cruise — lets you select a different vehicle from the eligible fleet for that activity. Pick your vehicle per activity during booking; final assignment is confirmed based on availability for your date.

No. Many activities are passenger friendly and we also organise transport and hosted experiences so everyone can enjoy the tour regardless of driving experience.

You'll have the chance to experience iconic JDM cars such as Nissan GT-Rs, Toyota Supras, RX-7s, Lancer Evos and other legendary Japanese performance vehicles — all depending on availability and activity.

You can book online directly — choose your package (flights included or tour-only), select your date, pick a vehicle for each driving activity, enter your details, and pay either a deposit to secure your spot or the full tour amount upfront. Stripe handles all payments securely. Once paid, you'll receive an automatic confirmation email with your welcome package and a participation contract to sign. If you book the tour-only package, we also send a follow-up email asking for your passport details, travel insurance proof, and flight details (if you're flying in), along with our recommended airlines and insurers.

Yes. Whether you're new to performance cars or a lifelong enthusiast, the experiences are designed to be safe, exciting and accessible to everyone.

We keep groups small to create a more personal experience and allow better access to cars, locations, and activities.

Both are welcome. Many guests join solo and meet like-minded car enthusiasts during the tour.
