So we here at Japan Lifestyle Consulting have been working towards putting together a monthly event that will take tourism in Japan one step further. While its always been possible for people to visit spots from their favorite anime or Japan-related movies, some things have remained a little more difficult to experience. And after talking to hundreds of tourists, movie-go'ers (lets call it a word!), and anime fans we came to the conclusion that Japan-lovers need drifting!
Imaging actually being taken out to circuits near Tokyo for a day trip where the street racers gather to practice and strut their stuff~ Imagine watching cars slide by you at high speeds, performing feats that are, to most people, something only of movies~
Now imagine you wanted to take it one step further... what if you wanted to be IN the car?!
These things are what we had in mind when we started developing this project.
And as our ideas are slowly realized, we grow closer and closer each day to providing people with an opportunity to see and experience something they thought they would never have the chance to~
But please, don't misunderstand what were saying here. This has been, by no means, a cake walk for the JLC staff. There is a lot involved in setting up a service like this, and an unlimited number of things to consider...
But day by day we get a bit closer, and "Drift Day" as we call it, becomes a little more interesting!
(And it helps that one of our JLC teammates is a member of a drift team from Tokyo :P )
So far almost every member of Japan Lifestyle Consulting has had a chance to come out and experience Drift Day, and everyone has had a great time! (In fact, we seem to have created Drift Day addicts out of one or 2 of the staff, who now go out at least once a month on their own time!)
But with a price tag of roughly 20,000 yen per person for a 1-day trip (35,000 yen for a group of 2 people / 50,000 yen for a group of 3), its the kind of thing you have to really want to do!
At the moment, Drift Day is only running on Sundays, and it IS a full day activity, but we are aiming to knock it down to a half day activity starting in January, and include a complimentary Lunch in the mountains and a tour after we depart from the circuit!
Interested? If you have questions or you would like to register for an upcoming Drift Day, email us at info@jpn-lifestyle.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible!!
