Daikoku PA Night Drive

Drive a real JDM legend to Japan’s most famous car meet — car, guide, tolls and fuel in one price.

The pack

Everything for one perfect night.

This is the night ARTCARS is built around. You take the wheel of a real JDM legend, drive with an English-speaking ARTCARS host in your passenger seat onto the neon-lit Wangan, past Rainbow Bridge and the bay skyline, and into Daikoku PA — Japan's most famous car meet. The car, the guide, tolls and fuel are all in one price.

Pick your car

Two legends. One price each.

The night

How it runs.

  1. Pickup & briefing at our Tokyo Bay base in Funabashi (or free pickup anywhere in Tokyo) — documents, a walk-round of the car and a short English briefing.
  2. The Wangan — your host navigates you onto the bayshore expressway, with photo stops at Rainbow Bridge and the skyline.
  3. Daikoku PA — park up and walk the meet under the bridge loops. What to expect at Daikoku →
  4. Back to base — return the car; your deposit card hold is released after the inspection.

Police sometimes close Daikoku PA on busy nights — entirely outside our control. If it's shut, your guide reroutes the group to another bay-side spot and the night drive runs in full.

FAQ

Night Drive Pack questions.

What's included in the Night Drive Pack?

The car (Fairlady Z or Nissan GT-R R35), an English-speaking ARTCARS host in your passenger seat, expressway tolls and fuel, an English briefing before you set off, and zero-deductible insurance. The whole evening runs about 5 hours from pickup to return.

How much is it?

¥59,000 with the Fairlady Z (6-speed manual) or ¥79,000 with the Nissan GT-R R35 (automatic), per car.

Do I drive, or ride as a passenger?

You drive. It's a self-drive rental from a licensed rental company (Licence No. 2506); our guide leads from a separate car and shows you the route, timing and photo stops.

How many people can join?

Your English-speaking host rides in the passenger seat, so the Fairlady Z (a two-seater) is just you and your host, while the GT-R R35 has room for up to two friends in the back. Anyone who wants to drive must be listed on the agreement (additional driver ¥3,300).

What do I need to bring?

Your passport, home-country driving licence and a 1949 Geneva Convention International Driving Permit — all originals — plus a credit card in your name for the ¥150,000 refundable deposit, placed as a temporary card hold (not a charge). Minimum age is 18, with no minimum years licensed.

What if Daikoku PA is closed?

Police sometimes close Daikoku PA on busy nights. If it's shut, your guide reroutes the group to another bay-side spot and the night drive still runs in full.

Where does it start?

At our base in Funabashi, Chiba, on Tokyo Bay — a short drive from Narita Airport — or we pick you up free anywhere in Tokyo: your hotel, a station or a spot you choose. Your start time is confirmed by email after booking.

Is NOC protection included?

Zero-deductible insurance is included. Optional NOC protection — Standard (¥10,000) or Zero Liability (¥30,000) — can be added at pickup. How protection works.
