Tokyo Drift RX7 Tour: Shibuya Crossing & Tokyo Tower Photos

Summary

Experience Tokyo Landmarks in a Real Mazda RX7

If you’ve ever dreamed of driving a real Mazda RX7 through Tokyo’s most iconic spots, this tour nails it. You’ll get those movie-worthy photos at Shibuya Crossing and Tokyo Tower—and trust me, you’ll feel like a star every step of the way.

What’s the experience like?

That first moment sliding into the Mazda RX7’s bucket seat, I could feel my heart thumping—maybe it was the engine’s low growl, or just the fact that people on the sidewalk were already sneaking glances. Our guide, Kenji, handed out WiFi codes (super handy for live-streaming) and gave us a quick rundown before we rolled out from the meeting spot near Shibuya. The air smelled faintly of roasted sweet potatoes from a street cart nearby—classic Tokyo in autumn.

We hit Shibuya Crossing just as the lights changed. It’s wild how many people cross at once—felt like being inside a movie scene, which makes sense since this is where they filmed that famous Tokyo Drift moment. Folks stopped to snap photos of us and the car; one guy even shouted “Nice ride!” in English. We had plenty of time to get our own shots with the RX7 right on the zebra stripes, with neon signs flickering overhead.

The drive over to Tokyo Tower was smoother than I expected, even with city traffic. Kenji pointed out little things along the way—like a tiny ramen shop he swears has the best shoyu broth after midnight. When we pulled up to Tokyo Tower, it was glowing orange against the evening sky. Standing there with the RX7 parked in front, I finally got that photo I’d seen all over Instagram—except this time, it was me behind the wheel.
