it used to be shut down at midnight, after few years police being more strict, so they decided to shut down at 22:00, and now is 20:30. so the shut down time might change again to more earlier in the future for sure.
Great Video! I just missed one part, how do i know if there is a meeting in Akihabara DX? Ive read that they have security and foreigners arent allowed to enter
You never really know tbh. Meets don't happen there very often. They are actually pretty rare and usually a secret spread amongst friends. Unless the parking lot is being rented out, if that's the case, then it will be an advertised event on social media.
@jesusmanzanares8844 Yeah anything that is called a "PA" or "Parking Area" is referring to a toll road rest stop, they are all car only except a very rare few. Your best and cheapest bet is a rental. You can get a 24 hour rental GR86 for like ¥30k. Most tours start at ¥30k and only last a few hours.
Ngl I can't remember. I think it was a Sunday afternoon. Best times to go: Arrive by 6-7 PM on Fridays or Saturdays for JDM. Cops will most likely shut down at 8:30 PM. Daikoku reopens at 12 AM. Arrive around 9-10 AM on Sundays for supercars, classics, and bosozoku.
Hi @JaysDomesticMarket, how do local car enthusiasts call their scene? For us it's JDM, but how do they call? I want to visit Japan next year. And my visit just won't be complete if I haven't visited an underground meeting. And what is an event for car enthusiast? Thanks for your attention. Gr. From the Netherlands
@vikashraghoenath8732 JDM just refers to the market a car was built for. Everything in Japan is JDM. If you want to go to an underground meet then your best chance is to visit in January when Tokyo Auto Salon happens.
@vikashraghoenath8732 Yeah I definitely recommend renting your own car. You will get to experience much more for far less money. You can find meets on social media or check my Discord
I don't know of any planned events or meets on Wednesday or Thursday, but Daikoku is always awesome on Friday if you get there by 7 PM! There is also a drift event at Mobara Circuit this Saturday!
Thank you for this! New to your page. Going to visit Daikoku this October 2024. Excited! Did anyone win that trip to Japan yet? 🤭 I’d like to enter so I can go again!! Hershey Hidalgo! That’s my name just in case. ✌🏼
No question is a stupid question! You can definitely come by motorcycle and passengers are okay! (As long as you have a motorcycle license, I'm unsure if an IDP allows motorcycles)
None of them are actually registered businesses. Even if they were, you can't have a business that makes money off of another business (without permission ofc). Taking people to tours at Daikoku (which is on the toll road, which is a business) means that they are making money off of an actual business. You can do tours off of the toll roads with no issue, even without registering an actual business in Japan. It's a pretty sticky subject.
@@MrBoostJapansooooo…. Can I get fined or something ? 😂 not saying I’m trying to break the rules but at the end of the day I’m only in Japan once and want to see daikoku. Don’t get me wrong , your video is informative and I honestly appreciate you posting this because I do have an upcoming trip and want to enjoy the most out of the Japanese car scene .
@jesusmanzanares8844 Technically, you could, but I highly doubt it. The people conducting the tour would get hit first but if the police really wanted to be hard on you guys then yes but it would be very hard for them to do so. They would need to hold you in jail so you couldn't leave the country, so it's probably more work than they want to do.

Its such a shame 😭

Wish I saw this before I left 2days ago 😅 subscribed!
At least you know for next time! 😅
The other PA’s you mentioned , are they also only accessible through a car? Rented car essentially ?

What time and what day of the week were you during this car meet? 😂

@JaysDomesticMarket , after your video I did find a tour-company which you disapprove.
But how do I find like local car enthusiasts clubs to meet?
@vikashraghoenath8732 Yeah I definitely recommend renting your own car. You will get to experience much more for far less money. You can find meets on social media or check my Discord
Hello, is there a meeting this Wednesday, Thursday or Friday? thank you

@@MrBoostJapanThank you very much for the information, we will go to Daikoku on Friday to see how it goes. Greetings from some Spaniards for Japan😍
@@CristiBarver No problem! Good luck!
Any idea about friday 3th may?

Its still available! Haha I'm also running a sweepstakes where one lucky winner will win a Nissan 180sx and a trip to Japan for two!
Is there something on friday 3th may
Check Wekfest Japan
Thx a lot🎉
No problem!
A bit of a stupid question:
Can you come on a motorcycle?
And is it allowed in Tokyo to ride with a passanger?
Thanks for the video man!
No question is a stupid question!

What makes the tours illegal?
