In this unique tour, you’ll not only get to visit Tokyo Auto Salon 2026, showing off the latest race cars, modifications and street-legal vehicles, but also go under the hood of Japanese culture and attractions.

Japan is a dream destination for lovers of suped-up Subarus, modified Mitsubishis and more, and this once-in-a-lifetime tour will take you beyond the curves of Tokyo Drift and into the streets of real-life Japan. Of course, you’ll visit the Tokyo Auto Salon 2026—one of the biggest car events in all of Japan—with an expert car guide, but you’ll also have insider access to many more of Japan’s must-visit auto attractions.

Explore Motegi Circuit (and the historic Honda Collection Hall), hit the open road in a car of your own on the way to the famous onsen town of Hakone, discover Fuji Speedway—offering unbeatable views of Mt. Fuji—and wander around the Fuji Motor Sport Museum before hopping on the Shinkansen (bullet train) to Nagoya for the Toyota Automobile Museum.

And, if you feel like swapping out any of the fast-paced car sights for a slice of Japanese culture, just say the word. Alternative attractions can be enjoyed at every stop along the way, including hot springs, lake cruises, traditional villages and more.
