Train Guide

JAPAN'S TRAINS.
NOT THAT COMPLICATED.

01
Get a Suica Card

Japan's universal IC card. Works on every train, bus, and even some convenience stores. Get it at any major station on arrival.

02
Find Your Route

Google Maps works great in Japan. Every spot on this site includes exact step-by-step directions from central Tokyo.

03
Know the Timing

JDM spots have specific best times. Daikoku PA at 10pm is different from 2am. We tell you exactly when to go.

04
Show Up Right

Etiquette matters. How to act at a Japanese car meet, what to say, what not to do. Don't be that tourist.

WRITTEN BY A
TOKYO LOCAL.
JDM OWNER.

I live in Tokyo, drive a JZX100 Chaser, and spend my weekends at the exact spots I write about. This isn't a travel blog pieced together from YouTube videos.

Every article is based on real experience — train routes I've taken, shops I've bought parts from, meets I've attended. If the info is here, I've personally been there.
