Will I get to drive the car?

No. Your guide drives for the entire day and you ride in the passenger seat. Driving yourself is not part of the standard tour, so contact the operator before booking if you hope to drive.

Which cars can I choose from?

Option A uses JDM models such as the 86, WRX, and 350Z. The operator's list also includes cars like the Nissan GT-R, Toyota Supra, and Porsche 911, which depend on availability, and GT-R, exotic, or premium JDM upgrades cost extra.

Are tattoos a problem at the onsen?

Most onsen in Japan restrict visible tattoos. Let the operator know when you book and your guide can take you to an onsen that accepts them.

What happens if it rains?

The tour still runs. Mist on the mountain roads gives the drive its own mood, and you can swap outdoor time for the Pola Museum of Art, which is indoors.
