Redpants Tours
Experience the Land of the Rising Sun beyond what's accessible by trains or on foot. We focus on automotive experiences, be they our Guided Driving Tours or Ride-Along Tours. Our Guided Driving Tours allow you take the wheel of an exotic sports car as we lead the way - planned routes that give you both amazing views of Japan and the fun of driving an Aston Martin, Ferrari, or Porsche. If you just want to be a passenger so you can check out famous places and fun roads while being able to take in your surroundings along the way, our Ride-Along Tours give you that.
Guided Driving Tours
Drive yourself around in an exotic sports car as we lead the way and take you to fun roads with incredible scenery, be they around Tokyo or out in the countryside. We want your tours with us to be as stress-free and enjoyable as possible, so we handle everything we can so you don't have to worry about it. You don't even have to worry about refilling the fuel before returning the car.
All of our tours are private. Only the registering customer and their guests may participate. That also means we can alter our tours to accommodate your needs!
