Enjoy Winter Driving Around Tokyo

During the winter season, driving to areas with snow or icy road conditions is restricted. As our vehicles are equipped with summer tires, driving on snowy or frozen roads is not permitted. However, this does not mean that winter driving in Japan is any less enjoyable. In and around Tokyo, there are many safe and exciting driving routes that can be enjoyed even during the colder months—especially for true car enthusiasts. One such destination is Daikoku Parking Area, a legendary meeting spot for car lovers from Japan and around the world. Especially at night, it offers a unique atmosphere where driving culture truly comes alive. Another highlight is Umihotaru Parking Area, located in the middle of Tokyo Bay. The open panoramic views and smooth bay-side roads feel even more special in the clear winter air. And of course, Rainbow Bridge—an iconic symbol of Tokyo. While short in distance, crossing it at night delivers an unforgettable driving experience, with winter’s crisp air enhancing the city lights. In colder weather, you can feel the car more clearly—the sound of the engine, the steering feedback, the connection to the road. For experiencing Japanese sports cars, winter driving around Tokyo is surprisingly rewarding. You don’t need snowy mountains or long-distance trips. Tokyo offers pure driving pleasure, even in winter. Discover a unique JDM driving experience this season.
