When I booked my trip to Tokyo, the one thing that I wanted to do was to immerse myself into the JDM car scene. Julie - my guide, and the team at gaijin tuned made that dream a reality. I can't help but express my gratitude to the team at Gaijintune.

it was a very pleasant and full of excitement evening journey with these guys.. very well serviced, very profesionals, and informative.. we had a really nice time during the tour. Starts from Akihabara, goes thru the highway Wangan and others, while Syu is explaining and chitchating about car culture in Japan. Had a good turnout in Daikoku, spent about an hour there, taking lots of photos and videos, while talking to car enthusiasts there too. after that went to Autobacs, and a little night run here and in between with the car groups. finally Photo with the tokyo tower as background.. they drops us by our hotel which was not too far. and went thru shibuya crossing and met some other guys and car / bike enthusiasts there too... very lovely and memorable tour.. Syu and the other friends are also great Guides.. very recommended, and will come back for more. thx

1. Check-out time is 11 o'clock, but Klook official website shows 10 o'clock. I feel like I got an extra hour. 2. The sofa bed didn't seem to be cleaned very well, and there were several flea bites on my feet.

The location is great. There are supermarkets and convenience stores nearby, so it's convenient to buy things and cook them yourself. There is also a washing machine, which is very convenient.

Although the museum is small, the ticket price is not high. In addition to introducing the history of ramen, it also explains the difference between ramen and Chinese noodles. The scene is restored to a high degree, allowing people to deeply feel the atmosphere of the times.
