Fast and Furious Car Tour in Tokyo: The Daikoku Night Drive
If the Tokyo drift scenes are what pulled you to Japan, this is the night to chase. A handful of operators run premium sports cars along the bayside expressways to Daikoku PA, the real car meet those films were built around, with photo stops at Tokyo Tower and a pass through the Shibuya Crossing. Here is how the Fast and Furious style rides compare and which one to book.
About This Experience
A premium sports car from the operator's fleet, with real JDM icons often in the convoy at the meet.
Around four hours, run after dark from roughly early evening to late night.
Bayside expressways, the Rainbow Bridge, Tokyo Tower and a pass through Shibuya Crossing.
Offered in English plus French, Arabic, Portuguese and Spanish on the flagship ride.
Cancel up to 24 hours ahead for a full refund on every option here.
Drivers pull over for skyline and car shots, including the classic Tokyo Tower frame.
Which Fast and Furious Ride to Pick
The Fast and Furious night drive is the one that leans hardest into the movie feel. It runs premium cars from Shibuya out to Daikoku and finishes at the Shibuya Crossing, rates 4.9 from nearly 200 travelers, and comes in five languages, so it suits an international group wanting the full cinematic loop. At $156 it is the priciest of the three, which is the honest trade for the premium fleet and the extended route.
The underground meetup is the value pick if you care most about the cars themselves. It is the highest rated on this page at 5.0, runs an air-conditioned vehicle, and puts classic R34s and sports convertibles in front of you for around $100. The Daikoku Nights culture tour sits in between at $107 and has by far the most reviews, with a choice of vehicle from a JDM legend to a sports sedan. If none is quite right, the full spread of our Tokyo Daikoku night rides covers budget and private options too.

Fast and Furious Tokyo Tour FAQ
Is there a real Fast and Furious car tour in Tokyo?
Yes. Several operators run night drives in premium and modified cars to Daikoku PA, the car meet that inspired the Tokyo drift scenes. You ride as a passenger while a local enthusiast drives the expressway loop past Tokyo Tower and the Shibuya Crossing.
Do you actually drift on the tour?
No. Drifting and street racing are illegal in Japan and are not part of these tours. The cars go fast on the expressway within the law, and the thrill comes from the machines, the route and the meet rather than stunts.
How much does a Fast and Furious tour in Tokyo cost?
The premium night drive on this site is about $156 per person. Lower-cost rides to the same Daikoku PA meet start near $100, with free cancellation on nearly every option.
Where does the Fast and Furious tour start?
The flagship ride meets near Shibuya Station and drops off at the Shibuya Crossing. There is no hotel pickup on that option, so you make your own way to the meeting point.
What cars will I see?
Expect Japanese icons such as the Nissan Skyline GT-R, Mazda RX-7, Toyota Supra and Nissan Silvia at the meet, plus the premium sports car you ride in and, on some nights, European supercars.
How long does the tour take?
About four hours, usually running from early evening to late night, including the tuning-store stop, the Daikoku meet, Tokyo Tower and the Shibuya Crossing.
What Riders Say
So much fun! We hit places like the shop, rally point, Rainbow Bridge, Tokyo Tower, and cruised in a pack into Shibuya Crossing. The sights, sounds and experience are exactly like the FnF movies. Definitely a must in Tokyo!
Being driven in a Skyline R34 through the streets and highways of Tokyo was exhilarating and fun, something my friend and I won't forget in our lifetime. Experienced drivers who made us feel welcomed.
A cool way to see parts of Tokyo at night while feeling like you are in the movie Fast and Furious. Our guide had great places to recommend beyond just the JDM car experience.
