7 Days / 6 Nights · Tokyo, JapanPackage · Tour Only (No Flights)
Tokyo Car Culture Experience · Tour Only
Same seven-day underground tour of Tokyo's car culture — arrange your own flights or join us straight from Japan.
The Experience
The same hand-built Tokyo experience as our flagship, minus the international flights. You arrive in Tokyo on your own schedule — already living in Japan, on a longer trip, or simply preferring to book your own airfare — and we take it from your Tokyo hotel onwards.
Day one starts with a hosted welcome dinner in Shibuya, then seven days inside the underground world of Japanese performance culture: midnight meets at Daikoku, the famous Hakone mountain roads, the views of Mt. Fuji, and private access to the garages most visitors never see.
Accommodation, on-tour transfers, drives, and host support are all included.

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 Mt. Fuji scenic drive, 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 — the Daikoku midnight meet and the Hakone mountain drive — lets you select a different vehicle from the full 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.
