Looks beautiful! I'm headed there in 2 weeks. Was this fun2drive or another company? I would love to make time for this if I can.

This was through Omoren (aka Omoshiro Rental). I'd done enough homework to understand exactly what roads and places I wanted to explore and felt that a rental for 24h was a way better value to me than the Fun2Drive experience.

Getting from Gotanda to Noda to collect the FL5 was a blast in and of itself and ended up randomly being a highlight of the trip for my wife and I. As was driving various freeways through Tokyo, and taking a pit stop at Daikoku on the way back from Hakone. Honestly, having typed all that out, just skip Fun2Drive and do a rental for 24h, its just better. Feel free to shoot me a DM, I'd be more than happy to help!

Hahaha dang it thanks for confirming what I really want to do

I was trying to be content to staying in the city and take trains between the popular JDM shops.

@svvitch If you don't make it to a rental car in time, I had a blast riding various train systems around and honestly could have made that the focus of our whole trip lol.

We did get a Yaris rental and spent an afternoon at Built By Legends which was an absolute treat and privilege. I don't have enough adjectives to describe how nice and hospitable Masa and Katsu were. My suggestion to you if you're trying to visit tuning shops is to reach out in advance and ask if it is okay to visit, that small gesture means a lot to them.
