Absolutely Incredible Experience - Highly Recommend! - I had an amazing time at Matenro Drift! From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless and exciting. Takeshi was fantastic - keeping me informed throughout the entire process, answering all my questions, and made everything super easy. He even picked me up and dropped me off at my hotel, which made the day completely stress-free. The drift lesson itself was unreal. My instructor, Ross, was extremely skilled and an excellent coach, and the lesson was tailored to my ability - the session is based on skill level, helping you to progress quickly while still feeling comfortable and in control. His guidance really helped me understand the techniques and build confidence and skill with every go. I had an awesome time and would absolutely recommend this to anyone considering it! I’m already looking forward to coming back for another session. A must-do for any motorsport or drift enthusiast!

Awesome drift lesson - We we're picked up in our hotel and brought to the track. After a short drive our lesson started. Over the next hours, we'd learn the basics of drifting. The instructors we're great and knowledgable. If you're any bit interested in cars, this is a great experience.

The Best JDM Car Experience Out There! - I really can’t say enough about Matenro Racing. Takeshi is absolutely awesome! I signed up for the drift lessons and he told me about the other experiences he offered like going to Mt Fuji speedway and driving the Supra around the track, and gave me a discount for booking both!! I couldn’t be more grateful for his services. Driving around the track at Mt. Fuji was absolutely surreal and one of his drivers named Toshi made the experience so memorable and fun!! And don’t get me started on how awesome the drifting lessons were. It was absolutely next level. Russ and Scott were some of the instructors and they were so fun to work with and learn from! I left that day feeling like a drift master lol!! All in all it was so worth it for all of Takeshi’s services. He is such a nice guy and really genuinely wants to see you have a great time with these experiences. He makes you feel like family!! And his police Skyline is awesome too LOL!

Drifting the Japanese OG way - Did not know about this activity until my aussie friend came and introduce to me. Had the best time of my life. The best part is that it was booked at the last minute and Takeshi managed to squeeze his holiday and organised one for us. We have the whole place for ourselves and the price is as published. Our instructor, Ross was amazing guy. He show is the real drifting skill. The western way of using brake stick but this is a proper Japanese OG drifting way. Great experience. I shared this with my work colleague and organised another one which I will review more

Tokyo Drift Experience - MUST HAVE - This was by far our favorite experience that we booked while in Tokyo. Takeshi, Ross, and Saka San are pure professionals and make this an unforgettable experience. The pictures, videos, memories, and stories will last a life time. Imagine being taught how to drift, by professionals, in Tokyo, with everything taken care of in advance by Matenro. For quick reference, here's what you can expect: - Takeshi will pick you up from your hotel - don't worry about booking travel - Show up at a literal drift playground and learn to drift cars like a Mazda MX5 and Nissan Z Fair Lady - Language barriers don't exist - Takeshi speaks perfect English so if you're from the US, like us, and speak very little Japenese, have no fear! - Immediately start driving as soon as you get there. - these are right hand drive manual transmission cars. I haven't driven a manual in almost 20 years and only stalled maybe 3-4 times in a 4 hour lesson. - Aside from the fun of learning how to drift, the videos and pictures we shared with our family had their jaws hitting the floor - Ross and Saka San are pro drivers and teachers. They will ensure that you walk away knowing how to drift and will be your biggest fans once you get it. - After the lesson and driving, Takeshi drives you back to your hotel. You literally just have to show up and have a good time - the guys at Matenro take care of everything else. Overall - this is the Tokyo experience you want. Trust me, it's worth every penny!

Too Fast too Furious - Had an awesome time! They walk you through everything step by step. I was a beginner and by the end I could do donuts and even started on figure 8s. If you already have some experience, they’ll teach more advanced stuff like e-brake entries. I got to drive a Nissan 350Z, but they have a few different JDM cars depending on the day. Also, they have this undercover cop car setup Skyline G35 for a fun little “police chase” at the end. If you’re into drifting or just want to try something unique in Japan, definitely check them out. Or if you want to live out your Fast and Furious dreams go for it haha
