Review of Tokyo Car Club’s JDM night drive, sports cars, Daikoku-style meets, photo stops, guides, pricing, and practical booking tips.

“I booked a tour on a tuesday. Other than described we met at Autobacs Shinonome. Not that big of a problem, the information came early. Once we met at Auotbacs we had time to explore the parking lot full of tuned cars and grab a drink at Starbucks, which is located insight of Autobacs.
