Tokyo Self-Driving Drift Experience at Minami Chiba Circuit

Drifting in Tsukuba

Today I enjoyed the drifting experience and had the opportunity to also sit in many other jdm cars and drift as a passenger in them. The crew was very nice and welcoming and I would 100% come again.

Really cool drift lesson

Had an amazing time out with them on the drift pad. Picked me up in front of my hotel directly and drove me to the drift track outside Tokyo. Had a great lesson with Rin-san and Mori-san, they taught me all I needed and got to drifting almost immediately! Definitely recommend if you're new to drifting and want to actually enjoy it in the Tokyo area.
