Guidekin's take

Ride across Rainbow Bridge to the spontaneous car meet at Daikoku-Futo PA, with time to see the cars up close.

A guided JDM car ride and fees are included, but weather or police closures can prevent the meet. 4.98 from 153 reviews at €101 per person for 4h.

In our comparison: #2 of 11 in JDM & Car Culture Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
