Japan does car park car meets better than anyone else

We’ve covered Yokohama’s Daikoku parking area (PA) a few times over the years. That doesn’t matter though, as it constantly changes and never ceases to amaze. Technically, it’s a service station. But for Japanese car nuts, it’s more than a place to stretch your legs, have a leak and grab some processed and sweaty yakisoba. For decades, it’s been an open-air amphitheatre and the beating heart of the Japanese car scene.

However, when we popped down a few weeks ago we witnessed the most eclectic haul of supercars, low-riders, Boso cars, vans and everything in between. So no matter what sliver of car culture piques your interest, there’s something for everyone.
