Getting there

Kono-guchi IC (Meihan National Route) +5 min

What to know before you go

Kansai’s drift home; the legendary C-course wall. Note what the official page actually says: general walk-up running covers karts and bikes only — there is no four-wheel session at all, so every car on track is there via an organiser’s day (SEIMI STYLE, HitomiGO, Link-so…) or a private hire. Overseas crews run here regularly (Hoonigan/Animal Style; Australian tour operators book the E course), and rental drift cars are available through those operators. Private hire booking has shifted with the times in the worst way: the FAX machine is broken, so the circuit is accepting course bookings by email ([email protected]) for now — still no web booking. Old domain meihanc.com is dead; official info lives at web1.kcn.jp/meihansl/
