Tarzan Yamada Official Tours

FAQ

What is a TARZAN YAMADA JDM tour?

A guided self-drive cruise through Yokohama and Daikoku PA — Japan’s most iconic car meet — led by professional racing driver TARZAN YAMADA. You drive a JDM car we provide and follow Tarzan into the streets, cars and stories most visitors never get to see.

How much does it cost?

Tours are priced per car at ¥99,000 (tax included). One car carries up to 4 guests, so a group can share a single car at that price. You can also book multiple cars for larger groups. Exact availability and pricing are shown on the booking page.

Where do the tours go?

Routes centre on Daikoku PA and the streets of Yokohama, with options finishing at Yokohama Hammerhead and the bayfront. The exact meeting point is shared after booking. Each tour runs roughly 2–3 hours.

Do I drive, or am I driven?

All tours are self-drive — you operate the vehicle yourself throughout the route, following the lead car. There is no chauffeur service.

What driving licence do I need?

You need a valid Japanese driver’s licence, or an International Driving Permit (IDP) issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention. Foreign nationals residing in Japan for 3 months or more must hold a Japanese licence. You must not be under the influence of alcohol or anything that impairs driving.

Is the tour available in English?

Yes. English-speaking assistant staff support the tour so you can take part comfortably even if you don’t speak Japanese.

Can I choose which car I drive?

We assign vehicles at our discretion. Requests are always welcome and we do our best to accommodate them, but a specific car cannot be guaranteed. You can see the current fleet on the Cars page.

What is the cancellation policy?

More than 24 hours before the tour start: free cancellation with a full refund. Within 24 hours of the start, or a no-show: full charge, no refund. If we cancel from our side (e.g. weather or disaster), you receive a full refund or rescheduling.

How do I pay?

Payment is made in full at the time of booking through secure Stripe checkout (Visa or Mastercard). Your booking is confirmed once payment completes, and you receive a confirmation email.
