Meet Japan's Most Legendary Driver.

Meet TARZAN YAMADA

D1 Grand Prix judge. Two-time World Time Attack Challenge champion in the Cyber Evo. Formula Mirage champion and a Video Option legend, racing since 1981. He meets every tour at Daikoku PA — talk cars with him, take photos together, and ride alongside him.

The Legendary Daikoku PA

Daikoku PA is Japan’s most famous car meet, where rare JDM machines gather under the lights. We aim to visit whenever it’s open — and being introduced around by TARZAN YAMADA is nothing like arriving alone.

Drive Multiple JDM Legends

You’re not locked into a single car. Swap between the cars on the tour — GT-R, Evo, GR86 and more — at no extra cost. Small convoys mean more time behind the wheel of each, and the line-up changes with the day, so no two tours are alike.

The Tour — Tokyo C1 Cruise

Drive the Shuto Expressway loop, cross Rainbow Bridge, and meet the legend himself at Japan's most famous car meet.
