Nikko Circuit
LICENCE · ORGANISER DAYS
Sport runs need the circuit’s own licence: a 30-minute briefing, a photo and a hanko stamp, all in Japanese. Most drift days are organiser events; overseas crews have run here.
What you pay
Own licence required for sport runs (new ¥10,000 incl. ¥4,000 insurance / renewal ¥5,000; 30-min briefing at 9:00 or 13:00, bring a photo, your licence and a hanko stamp). Most drift days are run by outside organisers (FLUKE, Drift Kingdom, Drift Muscle…)
Getting there
Utsunomiya IC via Route 293. c. 2 h drive from Tokyo
What to know before you go
No nationality restriction in the rules, and overseas crews have run here (GKTECH, Final Bout Special Stage Japan). But everything is in Japanese — site, briefing and paperwork — and the licence needs a hanko stamp, so bring a Japanese speaker or go through an English-speaking organiser. 105 dB noise limit. General spectating is restricted on normal days; go on event days.

Want to drive here rather than read about it?
We arrange drift days by region — the booking, the paperwork in Japanese, the car if you need one, and someone who has driven the track. See what a day here looks like.
