If we could give this tour 7 stars we would. We watched the drivers warm up then took 2 turns each drifting as a passenger. The drivers were skilled - it was a blast! My son was given extra rides special thanks to the kind drivers and tour operators. He rode in 4 different cars! It was the experience of a lifetime!

If you are coming to Japan, this is a MUST. Real JDM at Nikko Circuit. Came with 2 of my friends, and we all agree it was our favorite thing in Japan! You get to be in the passenger seat of a real drift professional and experience the greatest car culture in the world!

Exhilarating car drifting experience in Tsukuba! The adrenaline rush was unmatched, and the precision of the drivers was awe-inspiring. Perfect for thrill-seekers. Highly recommend for an unforgettable adventure. A must-try for anyone visiting the area. Absolutely loved every second of it!

Seriously, it was insane! There were like 50 to 100 totally crazy cars lined up. It was like a never-ending parade of cars swapping out. The Hatsune Miku car was absolutely epic. Seriously, if you come to Japan, you gotta check this place out. Takeshi was awesome too! Thanks
