What to expect
You'll travel by private vehicle with a guide who knows the expressway circuit well. The Daikoku stop is the centrepiece—a sprawling parking area where modified cars, luxury vehicles, and enthusiasts congregate, especially evenings and weekends. Depending on which tour you select, you might continue to Hakone's mountain passes or cross to Umihotaru, an artificial island service station with observation decks and harbour views. Expect a mix of driving, walking around vehicle displays, and short breaks at scenic or culturally interesting stops. It's a relaxed pace, not rushed.
