Welcome to Japan Street Driven
Japan Street Driven is a groundbreaking service offered by Showa Corporation that revolutionizes the driving experience for tourists in Japan. Until now, tourists have had limited options: purchasing track-only cars or renting vehicles from expensive specialty rental shops. What we offer is entirely different. With Japan Street Driven, you truly own your car—there are no rental fees, making it an incredibly affordable and long-term solution. This is a one-of-a-kind service not available anywhere else in Japan. Drive your car knowing that it’s through a company that’s fully licensed and enjoy your trip with peace of mind.
Freedom to Explore
When you own a car through our service, you gain the ultimate freedom to explore Japan on your own terms. Drive wherever you want, whenever you want, with no restrictions. Whether you’re cruising on the C1, on a mountain road, or visiting a circuit, the experience is yours to define.
Imagine visiting iconic locations like Daikoku PA, Ebisu Circuit, or Meihan Sportsland while having the freedom to then drive Hakone Turnpike—all from the comfort of your own car. No tight schedules, no rental fees. Just pure freedom to experience Japan in a way that’s uniquely yours.
