About Discover JDM: Japan Car Events
Find Japan car events, meets, circuits, and JDM spots in one app, available in 31 languages. Discover JDM helps car enthusiasts visiting Japan plan trips around over 1,900 events and must-visit car culture locations across the country. Event information is collected from multiple Japanese sources, curated, verified, and translated by a native Japanese car enthusiast with over 30 years of driving experience in Japan. Browse drift events, grip racing, car shows, and notable JDM destinations by keyword, region, or date. New events are added almost daily, and the interactive map and calendar help you discover what is happening nearby and build your itinerary around the experiences you do not want to miss. New Tours and Spots sections connect you with guided car tour experiences from local guides and help you discover must-visit car culture locations. Selected spots have a crowdsourced Activity Report where you can view or contribute information about whether the location is open, crowded, empty or closed. The interactive map also highlights 37 notable automotive museums, car spotting locations in Tokyo and other regions including Daikoku Parking Area and Tatsumi Parking Area, notable touge spots such as Asahi Pass parking lot, car culture destinations including car-themed cafes such as the Drift King's D-Base and RacingCafe D'z Garage, stores such as Autobacs A-PIT Shinonome, and race circuits and drift pads across Japan. Each event page includes practical travel-friendly details including event date and time, organizer links, summaries, a 10-day weather forecast, nearby car culture spots, and useful stops like convenience stores and restaurants. Location names are also provided in Japanese so that it is easy to ask for directions from locals. Save favorites, track places you want to visit, and make your Japan car trip easier to plan. With Discover JDM Pro, you can collect digital Goshuincho stamps, view nearby events and spots using your location, and receive notifications for nearby destinations as well as newly added, updated, or deleted events. A QR code feature allows you to synchronize "I'm going" and saved events from the tsjapantours.com website to the app. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://tsjapantours.com/discoverjdm-app/privacy
