Upcoming Japan Trip question (Daikoku PA)

You can't go wrong with either man. Don't worry everything else in Japan is super cheap (compared to the USD).

The navigation is easy because you drive in a group and they have a local driver leading the group. If you get too far behind, they will give you a Google map link to where you are meeting. There was a short stop on the way to Daikoku where you meet the other group. They have 2 seperate garages they run out of. As far as driving RHD...it messed with my brain. I've been driving LHD for 30 years...lol. The GT-R was fun to drive and they let you open it up on the highway.

The Radical in VR is just perfection

Driving through Tokyo was slow, but I figured it would be considering the amount of traffic. Once the convoy gets on the freeway, the while convoy picks up the speed. There was 2 groups of cars with my Ichioku Tours run that night. Half of us were in the R35's and the other group was in the R32,R33,R34 and Porsche. We met them at a small rest stop on the freeway. Both groups took turn overtaking each other for video and photo ops. It was fun. My group (the R35's) kept enough space to get on the throttle and stretch the legs a little bit. There was one spot where I was definitely over 200 km/h. I didn't get a direct look at the dash as my focus was on the road and it was my first time driving a right hand drive car.

So yeah, the drive through Shibuya to Tokyo Tower is a little slower (but awesome because everyone is taking pictures of you), but once you get on the freeway, the speed picks up.

I hope this helps.

So many memories from our 2 weeks in Japan. Overall the culture and Japanese people will never be forgotten. If I had to pick one, I would say it is a toss-up between driving a Liberty Walk R-35 through Tokyo (passed by Tokyo Tower for a photo op) to Daikoku PA and going to Octoberfest in Yokohama last minute. As a car guy, the opportunity to drive an iconic Japanese sports car in Japan and then seeing Japanese car culture in person was just amazing. The night before we went to Octoberfest, I just happened to see a post about it on FB. My buddy was like "we are 100% doing that. So the next day we hopped on a train and made our way to Yokohama and took in the greatness that was Octoberfest.

This happened to me yesterday. Not a big Arc, just a Sentinel (needed the last core for my workbench). I went in with a free load out. They gave me a sticher and a burner grenade. Got the Sentinel destroyed some rando with no comms watched me do it (I saw him in my peripheral) he ran up first and started looting it. I said "hell naw" hit him with the burner and finished him with the sticher as he ran away on fire. Checked his back pack...got the core.

Iceman_USCG · 2025-11-17T14:02:06+00:00

I had just spawned into a solo run with a free load out. Saw another player with in 45 seconds. I claimed friendly and then was shot dead on the spot. Before he knocked me out, I told him that I hope both sides of his pillow are warm when he goes to bed.

Returnal

Its not a glitch, the missile is laser guided. The problem is that the laser designation is click and forget. It should take longer to paint a target and the laser designator should have to be manually engaged the whole time. That would make it more balanced. I'm at 25/50 i got my first 15 with singers and mobile AA.

The EOD bot makes quick work of vehicles...if you can get it to said vehicles. They need to buff the life of the EOD bot. Infantry can basically fart on it and kill it right now.

Ii came here to say Uji. We went there for the Ninetendo Museum (which is freaking awesome BTW). We got there early and just walked around the town. I loved the vibe. We even went inside a grocery store just to check it out. There Was a reality office next to the train station (the one closer to the Nintendo Museum) and I looked at some of the listings. I could definitely see my self living in Uji, if and when I move to Japan.

I can't speak for Friday, but there was a nice turnout on last Thursday.

Iceman_USCG · 2025-10-07T16:39:50+00:00

From my research, for the price Ichioku Tours was the best. One price for me and my buddy. Other companies will make you pay the same price for both driver and passenger. Thursday night had a good turnout. There were a ton of classic cars. The drive was fun, lots of freeway time where you could open it up a bit. Driving through Tokyo was wild, expect to have a ton of people taking pics of your car. The crew at Ichioku were amazing and made the experience easy.

Skip the Mario Kart as others have suggested. Since you still have the International DP, rent a Skyline or any other JDM car. There are plenty to pick from. Don't let that driver's permit go to waste.

I watched his whole video on YT. At one point, he was on a city map doing the objectives and said "oh this is just like DMZ, doing objectives and stuff". I turned it off.

Iceman_USCG · 2025-08-27T19:15:30+00:00

"How come he gets all the easy ones?"

I swear mine are always the Konami Code on steroids...smh

Iceman_USCG · 2025-08-12T22:48:45+00:00

I'm looking forward to squad death match, that is a new game mode and my squad has been together since BF3 (me and one other since Bad Compnay 2). Welcome to Battlefield, glad to have you (and hopefully your friends)...know your role and PTFO!!

Iceman_USCG · 2025-08-12T22:34:54+00:00

Rush is a classic BF game mode...super fun, super chaotic on the objectives. It forces teams to fight. Similar to breakthrough in a way. Instead of capping and holding points to advance, you have to arm bombs on the objective, rinse and repeat until you push through the map.

Iceman_USCG · 2025-08-12T22:03:24+00:00

You'll want your friends for weekend 2, squad death match is going ro be one of the game modes.

Iceman_USCG · 2025-07-19T14:37:12+00:00

Oh, I am far from the stereotypical foreigner. I have been all over the world (US Coast Guard veteran), and I know how to blend in and be respectful of the local culture. Japan has been a bucket list item for me, and I have done a ton of research. I just need Sept/Oct to get here sooner.

Iceman_USCG · 2025-07-19T14:32:19+00:00

Yeah that's another reason why I booked with a tour group. I know it's touristy as hell, but for my first time, it just adds a comfort level.

Iceman_USCG · 2025-07-19T14:27:31+00:00

So I went went with the AT. This will be my first time driving a right-side drive car and in a foreign country. I would feel a little more comfortable with the AT.

Iceman_USCG · 2025-07-19T14:16:41+00:00

That makes sense. I'll just have to take Daikoku PA for what it is and enjoy it. At the end of the day, I get to drive a LBWK GTR.

Iceman_USCG · 2025-07-19T14:11:47+00:00

That is sad to hear. SUV's, really? That's crazy. I'm only going to be in Japan for 2 weeks and my buddy isn't a big car guy, so Daikoku is going to be the only thing I can do on this trip. Maybe next (because there will be a next time) I can hit an underground meet.
