Rent JDM Sports Cars in Japan: Self-Drive the Legends in Tokyo

OnlyJDM operates Japan’s largest JDM rental fleet: 50+ cars including the Nissan GT-R, Toyota Supra, Mazda RX-7 and Lancer Evolution, from JPY 7,000 to JPY 59,000 per 24h. An International Driving Permit (1949 Geneva Convention) is all most visitors need. Two stores: Haneda Airport and north Tokyo.
Why rent a JDM car in Japan
Japan is the only place on earth where the cars you grew up with in Gran Turismo, Initial D and Fast & Furious are still daily reality. Right-hand drive, tuned exhausts, Wangan expressways at night: driving a real JDM legend on its home roads is a bucket-list experience no showroom abroad can copy.
