A supercar ride is bought for a reason far more often than it is bought on a whim. Roughly speaking: someone is turning forty, someone is proposing, someone has wanted this since they were eleven years old and is finally in Japan. The route that suits each of those is different, and so is what we should be doing on the night. This page is the honest version of what works.
For a proposal or an anniversary, take the 1-hour route (¥100,000) and tell us in advance — the Imperial Palace and Rainbow Bridge stops give you a quiet, controlled moment that Daikoku PA cannot. For a birthday or a lifelong car enthusiast, take the 3-hour Daikoku PA route (¥180,000): the hour among Japan’s car community is the part people talk about years later. Both cars seat one guest, which shapes every plan below.
💬 Tell us the occasion when you book. Not because there is a package to upsell — there isn’t, and the price does not change — but because a driver who knows you are proposing will plan the stop differently, park differently, and know when to disappear. It costs nothing and it changes the evening.
We will say the awkward thing first: a two-seat supercar is a difficult place to propose, because only one of you is in it. If the plan is to propose inside the car, that means both of you need to be in cars — one in the Ferrari, one in the Revuelto — and the moment has to happen at a stop, not on the move.
That constraint turns out to be a gift. The stop is the proposal, not the drive. The drive is the thing that gets you both there without her working out what is happening.
| Element | How we handle it |
|---|---|
| The location | The Imperial Palace side of the 1-hour route is the quietest, most composed setting we can legally stop in. Rainbow Bridge with the bay behind is the more dramatic one. Both are on the standard route, so nothing looks staged. |
| The surprise | You book, you tell us privately, and nothing in the confirmation gives it away. Ask us to send confirmations to your address only. |
| The photographs | Your driver can be positioned to film or shoot the moment from outside the car. Tell us which and roughly when. |
| Privacy | At the stop, we step away. You will not be watched by a stranger while you do this. |
| The ring | Keep it on you. Not in the car, not with us. A supercar has almost no storage and the last thing anyone needs is a search. |
We cannot stop wherever the picture would be best. Tokyo Tower’s immediate surroundings, Shibuya Scramble and most of the bayside are no-stopping zones, and an expressway is an expressway. We will not block a lane or park illegally for a photograph, on this or any other night. Everything above happens at places where stopping is permitted — which, fortunately, includes the good ones.
We also cannot guarantee weather. If you are building an evening around one moment, book it with a spare night still in your trip.
The 3-hour Daikoku PA route is the birthday choice, and it is not close. The drive is excellent; the hour standing in a car park in Yokohama surrounded by several hundred people who care intensely about cars is the part that becomes a story. Nobody has ever come back from Daikoku talking mainly about the expressway.
| Situation | Suggestion |
|---|---|
| A milestone birthday, one person | 3-hour Daikoku route. Ferrari 488 GTB if they grew up on posters; Revuelto if they follow cars now. |
| Two people, one birthday | Convoy — both cars, one guest each, swapping at Daikoku so the birthday person gets both. |
| A surprise | Works well. Tell us and the car arrives at the hotel without explanation. |
| A child’s birthday | There is no minimum age for a passenger. A booster seat cannot be fitted in either car, so use your judgement about size and the seatbelt. |
The honest framing: this is a wonderful evening for a couple where one of you loves cars, and a slightly odd one where neither does. You will spend the drive in separate cars.
Couples who enjoy it most treat it as a two-part night — the 1-hour ride at dusk, then dinner in Ginza or Roppongi, with us dropping you at the restaurant rather than the hotel. That is included; just tell us the address. The photographs from the Imperial Palace stop tend to be the ones that end up framed.
🍽️ Drop-off anywhere. The included drop-off does not have to be your hotel. A restaurant, a bar, a view spot — anywhere in central Tokyo, at no extra cost. Arriving at dinner in a Revuelto is, we are told, a reasonable way to start an evening.
If the person you are booking for can name the engine code, they already know what a 488 GTB and a Revuelto are, and the pitch is unnecessary. Two things will matter to them that will not matter to anyone else.
First, the Revuelto is a genuinely rare car — a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 with three electric motors and 1,015 horsepower, from a manufacturer that has announced the end of the pure V12 line. Sitting in one is going to be a period detail before long.
Second, Daikoku PA is a real place, not an attraction. Nobody organises it. It is a public expressway rest area where people have gathered nightly for decades, and it is the actual location behind the car parks in Initial D and Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift. For the right person that hour is worth the entire booking.
More than half of our bookings are one person, and the two-seat layout means solo travellers are not paying a penalty here — the price is the same per person whether you come alone or with five friends. There is no single supplement and no shared vehicle with strangers. The passenger seat was always going to be yours.
Practically, a solo booking is also the easiest to place at short notice, because we only need one car free.
It works, with one caveat: the two-seat constraint means a group of eight becomes eight consecutive slots or a convoy rotation, which takes an evening to organise properly rather than an afternoon. If the goal is to move a group together, a JDM convoy or a van-based tour does that better and costs considerably less per head. Ask us and we will tell you honestly which format fits — sometimes the answer is that our supercars are the wrong tool.
| Occasion | Route | Price | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Proposal | 1-hour landmarks | ¥100,000 | Controlled, quiet stops. Imperial Palace or Rainbow Bridge. |
| Anniversary / honeymoon | 1-hour, then dinner | ¥100,000 | Drop-off at the restaurant is included. |
| Milestone birthday | 3-hour Daikoku PA | ¥180,000 | The hour at Daikoku is the memory. |
| Lifelong enthusiast | 3-hour Daikoku PA | ¥180,000 | Real car culture, not a staged experience. |
| First visit to Japan, short on time | 1-hour landmarks | ¥100,000 | Four Tokyo icons in sixty minutes. |
| A group who want to be together | Neither — ask us | from ¥15,000 | Two seats cannot do this. A JDM tour can. |
We do not sell gift vouchers, and we would rather explain why than pretend otherwise: a fixed voucher creates a date problem for the recipient and an expiry problem for you. What works better is booking a specific evening once you know their plans, or messaging us to hold a provisional date that can move. Requesting a booking is free and non-binding, so there is nothing at risk in arranging it early.
If you want something to hand over on the day, tell us and we will send you a confirmation written for that purpose — the car, the date, the route — that you can print.
¥100,000 for one hour, ¥180,000 for three hours to Daikoku PA. Same price whatever the reason — but the evening is planned around it.
