Motorland Kijo モーターランド木城

From ¥10,000 per person for a 1-hour drift session in the venue’s kei car on low-grip tyres, 6 runs guaranteed, ages 13–90, instructor in the passenger seat

Kijo, Miyazaki. c. 20 min by taxi from JR Takanabe Stn (c. 10 km). Miyazaki Kotsu’s Kijo Onsen line runs 7 days a week from Takanabe Stn into Shiiki — weekend departures 8:58 / 12:53 / 16:37 / 17:57, town-hall stop 9:22 / 13:17 / 17:01 / 18:26 — but no walking route from the stop to the gate is published. Kijo’s own town bus does not run Sat/Sun/holidays from 1 Apr 2026

By a wide margin the cheapest way to actually drive a drifting car in Japan — two orders of magnitude below a rental at Ebisu, because you use the venue’s kei cars on special low-grip tyres, so no on-site licence is needed. Bookable in English through Activity Japan; bookings close 06:59 three days before, cancellation 50% the day before and 100% on the day. Run by a shop called Y-STYLE — its own page asks you to ring 0983-32-3819 before a weekday visit. A coached introduction in someone else’s car, not a track day with your own build.
