Don't ride in a JDM legend. Drive one — GT-R R35 or Fairlady Z, on the Wangan and to Daikoku PA.
Most Tokyo "JDM tours" put you in the passenger seat. ARTCARS is a licensed rental company, so the car is yours: you pick up a Nissan GT-R R35 or Fairlady Z on Tokyo Bay, and you drive it yourself — the Wangan, Rainbow Bridge, Daikoku PA, Hakone or wherever you want to go.
Just want the classic night run? The Daikoku PA Night Drive Pack is the easiest way in: from ¥59,000 with the car included, an English-speaking host in your passenger seat guides you along the bayshore expressway, with photo stops, to Japan's most famous car meet.
| Car | Gearbox | 24-hour rental |
|---|---|---|
| Nissan GT-R R35 | Automatic · AWD · 4 seats | ¥150,000 |
| Nissan Fairlady Z (Z33 / 350Z) | 6-speed manual · RWD · 2 seats | ¥110,000 |
| Daikoku PA Night Drive Pack | Car + English-speaking host + tolls & fuel · evening ~5 h | ¥59,000 Fairlady Z · ¥79,000 GT-R |
Every online booking includes zero-deductible insurance and Zero Liability Protection (NOC ¥0). A ¥150,000 deposit is placed as a temporary card hold (not a charge) and released after return.

Street racing and drifting on public roads are crimes in Japan. Cruise the routes legally — and save the sliding for our circuit drift experience.
Both. You rent the car from ARTCARS and drive it yourself. Add the Daikoku PA Night Drive and an English-speaking ARTCARS host in your passenger seat shows you the route, the timing and the photo stops.
A 24-hour Fairlady Z rental is ¥110,000 and a 24-hour Nissan GT-R R35 rental is ¥150,000, both including zero-deductible insurance and Zero Liability Protection. The Daikoku PA Night Drive Pack — car, English-speaking host, tolls and fuel for the evening — is ¥59,000 with the Fairlady Z or ¥79,000 with the GT-R R35.
Yes. Bring your home licence, a 1949 Geneva Convention IDP and your passport — originals. Drivers from a few countries (such as Germany, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Monaco and Taiwan) can use an official Japanese translation of their licence instead.
Yes — choose the Nissan GT-R R35, which is automatic. The Fairlady Z is a 6-speed manual.
18 or over, with no minimum years-licensed requirement (stricter insurer conditions override this if they apply).
No. The car is yours to drive alone. On the guided night drive, the guide leads from a separate ARTCARS car.
Police sometimes close Daikoku PA on busy nights. If it is shut, your guide reroutes the group to another bay-side spot and the night drive still runs in full.
