Founded by a Tokyo native, licensed mechanic, and lifelong automotive enthusiast, our mission is simple: to share the city we love from the seat of a car that deserves it.
Two decades behind the wheel of some of Japan's most legendary machines will do that to you. Our founder grew up here, learned every expressway, every back road, every spot worth knowing. JDM wasn't a trend for him. It was just life. And somewhere along the way, he realized that what he'd spent years living was something other people were flying across the world to find.
So he decided to open the door.
Tokyo JDM Drive isn't just a business. It's a family built on a shared love for cars, culture, and this city.
We're the Sakai family — five people who live, breathe, and dream Tokyo. With three kids in the mix and a lifelong car enthusiast behind the wheel, this started the way most good things do: a drive through the city and a feeling that wouldn't let go.
At the heart of it all is our founder — a certified mechanic who's spent decades on Tokyo's expressways and knows Daikoku PA like his own backyard. While he drives, the rest of us make sure every experience feels like family from the moment you book.
