Keeping the legacy alive, the street drifters of Tokyo still congregate and practice drifting on the streets of Daikoku Futo. Daikoku Futo is the parking lot area just outside of the Tokyo docks. It is famous for being a well known hangout spot for the automotive enthusiasts of the greater Tokyo area. Daikoku Futo is also a rest zone for drivers who push speed to the limit on the Wangan expressway. This infamous parking lot has seen thousands of highly modified and unique vehicles in it's time. If only the asphalt could talk! In the following video, we get to see a brief glimpse into the underground illegal drifting world that still exists in Japan.
With some of the biggest names in drifting being created by Nissan, it's no wonder that the illegal street drifting and racing culture is alive and well within Japan. Following the stereotype, these drifters push the limit until police arrive and then they scatter. Even though it is illegal to street drift in Japan, it's not such a huge offense as you would think. In Japan, they're pretty relaxed about illegal street racing and drifting due to the mass numbers that participate even though it is incredibly dangerous and destructive. If you pay attention when you drive on Japan streets, you'll see the marks of drifters everywhere; especially around Daikoku Futo and the Tokyo docks.
