Tokyo Drift Experience - MUST HAVE - This was by far our favorite experience that we booked while in Tokyo. Takeshi, Ross, and Saka San are pure professionals and make this an unforgettable experience. The pictures, videos, memories, and stories will last a life time. Imagine being taught how to drift, by professionals, in Tokyo, with everything taken care of in advance by Matenro. For quick reference, here's what you can expect: - Takeshi will pick you up from your hotel - don't worry about booking travel - Show up at a literal drift playground and learn to drift cars like a Mazda MX5 and Nissan Z Fair Lady - Language barriers don't exist - Takeshi speaks perfect English so if you're from the US, like us, and speak very little Japenese, have no fear! - Immediately start driving as soon as you get there. - these are right hand drive manual transmission cars. I haven't driven a manual in almost 20 years and only stalled maybe 3-4 times in a 4 hour lesson. - Aside from the fun of learning how to drift, the videos and pictures we shared with our family had their jaws hitting the floor - Ross and Saka San are pro drivers and teachers. They will ensure that you walk away knowing how to drift and will be your biggest fans once you get it. - After the lesson and driving, Takeshi drives you back to your hotel. You literally just have to show up and have a good time - the guys at Matenro take care of everything else. Overall - this is the Tokyo experience you want. Trust me, it's worth every penny!

Too Fast too Furious - Had an awesome time! They walk you through everything step by step. I was a beginner and by the end I could do donuts and even started on figure 8s. If you already have some experience, they’ll teach more advanced stuff like e-brake entries. I got to drive a Nissan 350Z, but they have a few different JDM cars depending on the day. Also, they have this undercover cop car setup Skyline G35 for a fun little “police chase” at the end. If you’re into drifting or just want to try something unique in Japan, definitely check them out. Or if you want to live out your Fast and Furious dreams go for it haha

The best JDM drifting - Hands down the best experience of our Japan trip. If you love JDM or drifting, this is a must. Takeshi was super helpful and made everything easy, even with our tight schedule. The lesson was legit, even for beginners—I’d never touched a clutch before and still had a blast. These guys are passionate, professional, and know their stuff. Book it. You won’t regret it.

Yeeehaaaa!!! - If you're a fan of the Fast and Furious films, this is for you. I've owned many JDMs over the years, but never drove my cars like this. I owned a 1990 Miata NA, so it was a joy to drive a Miata again after so many years. With the support and patience of the crew, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our day as "racers". 🤣 JUST DO IT...you'll have fun.
