Can I get to Ebisu Circuit from Tokyo without a car?
Yes. Take the Tohoku Shinkansen to Koriyama and a local train to JR Nihonmatsu Station (about 1 h 54 min, from ¥8,360), then a 20-minute taxi or the ¥500 Fukushima Kotsu bus to Safari Park-mae. The bus runs four times a day and only fits a weekend: on weekdays the first one arrives at 11:51, nearly three hours after running starts.

Can a tourist drive a drift car in Japan, and which licence do I need?
Yes. To drive on public roads Japan accepts your home licence plus a 1949 Geneva Convention International Driving Permit issued before you fly (six countries need a Japanese translation instead). On a circuit the venue sets the rule: some rental operators ask for an IDP, while Minami Chiba Circuit's rental drift session needs no licence at all.

How much does one day of drifting in Japan cost, all in?
Watching starts at ¥500 and a passenger ride at ¥500, but driving is where the money is. A rented car day starts around ¥83,000 (an insured, shared school session) or ¥130,000 for a car to yourself with tuition, four tyres and fuel included. In your own car the ¥8,500 Ebisu track fee is the small line: four new drift tyres cost ¥47,600 on top, before fuel or transport.

Is there any calendar of drift events in Japan?
Yes. TSUISO's Drift Japan Event & Track Calendar at /calendar/ lists every confirmed competition, matsuri and organiser day with its fee and the date its entry window shuts, and the same list is a subscribable .ics feed at /calendar.ics. Big series fix dates a year out; grassroots days appear only two to four weeks ahead, so re-check before you fly.

Is there a drift weekend I can do near Osaka or Kyoto?
Yes, but it is built around organiser days, not turn-up sessions. Meihan Sportsland in Nara, the Kansai drift home, sells no drift running of its own: cars run only on organiser days, 28 of them between 14 September and 30 December 2026, mostly Sundays. Suzuka Twin (Mie) and Central Circuit (Hyogo) are the other weekend options, and every one of them ends in a car or a taxi.

What are the requirements for an overseas driver to enter Formula Drift Japan?
Formula Drift Japan runs three tiers (FDJ, FDJ2, FDJ3), each with its own licence issued through formulad.jp, and a sanctioned series is one of the few places in Japanese drifting where a road licence alone is not enough. Its exact eligibility, fee and car rules for a driver based overseas are not on any page our guides have read, so treat them as TBC and confirm with the series.

Which drift school or rental in Japan should a first-timer pick, and what do they cost?
Decide on insurance before price. HYPER DRIVE SCHOOL is the one operator selling crash cover; its shared school day is about ¥83,000, and Team Orange publishes ¥130,000 in English for a car to yourself with tuition, four tyres and fuel. Cheaper first steps: Minami Chiba Circuit's rental drift hour is ¥45,000 on weekdays with no licence needed, and Motorland Kijo in Miyazaki drives from ¥10,000.

When is the next Ebisu Drift Matsuri and when do entries open?
The next one is the Autumn Drift Matsuri at Ebisu Circuit (Fukushima) on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November 2026, the last of 2026. Advance entry opens at 00:00 JST on Sunday 11 October and closes Friday 23 October: ¥20,000 without a pit, and the only window in which a pit can be booked. Same-day entry is ¥25,000. No 2027 dates exist yet.

Is street drifting or touge still a thing in Japan, and is it legal to watch?
It survives in pockets and it is illegal: two or more cars running together on a public road is joint dangerous conduct under article 68 of the Road Traffic Act, up to 2 years or ¥500,000 and 25 points, and since 21 July 2026 sliding the tyres deliberately is dangerous driving if someone is hurt. Watching is not an offence; cheering it on after a police order is fined in designated zones.

Is Daikoku PA still worth visiting in 2026?
Only if you are already driving past in the afternoon. There is no pedestrian access at all, weekend closures start around 20:30 and are decided on the night, and Daikoku Futo is a designated anti-reckless-driving zone where cheering on a drift after a police order carries a fine of up to ¥50,000. Plan a trip around a circuit date instead.
