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.
