  Incredible time. Family with 3 boys who love cars. Everyone had ample time to drive. The team was awesome. I really cannot recommend this experience enough. If you have boys who love cars - beyond just looking at them - this is a must. It’s a perfect way to compliment a day if you are also going to the car meet at night.

• Drifting experience that will beat your expectations

  If you've ever had any interest in drifting, you can't miss out on this experience. Only an hour outside of Tokyo and reasonably priced, the Matenro crew had me and my 77 year old father in law doing continuous drifting donuts in only a few hours of a private lesson. We're both car enthusiasts with a little bit of track experience but the instruction is so good even a beginner can learn the basics of drifting pretty quickly. The staff is super friendly, they take safety seriously, and the location is beautiful! We'll be back next visit to try the intermediate class for sure.

  Takeshi and his team were fantastic. Great communication from the moment we booked, the whole experience was very well put together. The team were lots of fun and gave great tips and feedback on the drifting experience. My son said it was the ‘best birthday present ever!’ Thanks to Takeshi and his team on a great day

  Coming to a country where you don’t know the language and trying something you’ve only seen in movies can feel overwhelming, but the Matenro team made everything incredibly easy from the very beginning. They contacted me right after booking, coordinated pickup directly from my hotel, and took me straight to the practice circuit with zero stress. Once there, the entire team was amazing, professional, welcoming, and extremely experienced. The experience felt completely safe at all times. What really sets them apart is that they actually teach you how to drift. They explain every step clearly, let you practice hands-on, and give you real, actionable feedback after every run so you can improve right away. On top of that, you also get to experience full professional drifting while riding with them, which was absolutely mind-blowing. Overall, this was one of the best experiences of my life. If you’re even slightly considering a drift lesson in Japan, do it with this team. You won’t regret it.

  We really had a great time with you. This will remain a very important memory of our stay in Japan. Thank you for picking us up from our hotel and for re-dropping us off after the event.

  I had an amazing time at Matenro Drift! From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless and exciting. Takeshi was fantastic - keeping me informed throughout the entire process, answering all my questions, and made everything super easy. He even picked me up and dropped me off at my hotel, which made the day completely stress-free. The drift lesson itself was unreal. My instructor, Ross, was extremely skilled and an excellent coach, and the lesson was tailored to my ability - the session is based on skill level, helping you to progress quickly while still feeling comfortable and in control. His guidance really helped me understand the techniques and build confidence and skill with every go. I had an awesome time and would absolutely recommend this to anyone considering it! I’m already looking forward to coming back for another session. A must-do for any motorsport or drift enthusiast!

  We we're picked up in our hotel and brought to the track. After a short drive our lesson started. Over the next hours, we'd learn the basics of drifting. The instructors we're great and knowledgable. If you're any bit interested in cars, this is a great experience.
