We are aiming to make this the best trip possible so we're aiming for a small group around 10 people. This is to keep things smooth and make sure noone gets left out in anything. You will be given 100% guided support for this trip so no worries about language/food/transportation, it's all handled for you. The package basically covers everything except food and souvenirs for and entire week. We understand some people may wish to stay longer than this or leave earlier than this and we will work with you on an individual basis to adjust pricing accordingly. We have also recieved requests to rent a car and take a trip to the infamous Tokyo Wangan and we are taking that into consideration as well.

Price per person will be $3,000USD

50% non-refundable deposit required to secure your spot! Payment accepted by bank wire transfer, check, and credit card.

Tentative dates would be: January 7-14th

Please contact roo@sa-drift.com with your name, age, and location to get in.
