The best day out for car enthusiests

5.00I got to drive the R35 the R32 and the EVO (I would highly recomend the EVO) , I had the best day from the communication beforehand, the pick up and drop off service to the lounge from the meeting point. The drivers lounge is built by passionate car enthusiests who genuinely love cars and care about providing a great experience for fellow car enthusiests. The cars are amazing, well maintained, fast and are a true JDM experience with the sounds and feel that we all know and love. On the day you are given a headset and a phone with the mapped locations to help you if you lose the lead driver. Each car has a gear shift pattern inside to help you when driving a manual. During the drive we got to experience the beautiful roads in Japan and see Mount Fuji in the distance. During the tour our tour guide, provided lots of information about the roads and places we were visting. He also gave us great recomendations for car rentals and other activites to do whilst staying in japan. I will definatly be returning for the two day experinace and I would highly recomend the experince to anyone who loves cars and wants the best day out.
The most incredible experience.

5.00Absolutely incredible experience, the highlight of our entire 2.5 weeks in Japan even for my partner who isn’t a huge car person. From the day we booked to the end of the day trip driving, the experience, the communication and everything in between was immaculate. Josh and his colleague went above and beyond and made our experience so special. Highly recommend, worth every cent. Would do it over and over again! Still buzzing. The scenery whilst driving the incredible range of beautiful vehicles was a dream really. No hidden costs, no extra costs - absolutely ideal when travelling. Cannot find the words as to how incredible this experience/tour really was.
Drive exciting mountain roads through Japanese nature in incredible cars

5.00The tour was a lot of fun, the nature was breathtaking and the roads were an incredible driving experience. You can tell the owners love their vehicles, they are very well maintained and exactly what you expect of classic JDM vehicles. The Hakone and Izu tour was 88,000 yen, roughly $550. The inclusion of tolls, of which there are a lot, made the drive much more convenient. Overall it was an incredible value. The tour is 8 hours, which flew by. The roads were moderately busy, but the local drivers are very good about making way for performance cars on the mountain roads. You get plenty of experience on city streets and highways as well. The owners are car enthusiasts and it shows, and the guide, James, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and really made it feel like a drive with friends.
Super tour

5.00Drivers Lounge full day Hakone and Izu tour was amazing. The drivers lounge team was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the roads and the cars. Pick up from the station was easy and instructions from the staff were all very clear. I could not recommend this tour more, it was such an experience to drive multiple JDM legends all in one day. Swapping cars throughout the day really makes it something special. Thank you Drivers Lounge, I will definitely be back!
Highly recommend
