The Run

• The police shutdown and scramble leaving Daikoku PA

• Merging onto the Shuto Expressway Bayshore Route

• Highway rolls alongside packs of R35 and classic GT-Rs

• Runs through the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line tunnels

Umihotaru at Night

We arrive at Umihotaru PA, the rest area in the middle of Tokyo Bay, for a late-night meet with a completely different atmosphere from Daikoku.

Final Thoughts

A shutdown at Daikoku can turn into one of the best drives of the night.
