Yokohama’s Daikoku Parking Area (PA), once a haven for car enthusiasts, is grappling with a notable influx of foreign tourists, causing concerns like unauthorized entries and disturbances. Originally a popular spot for local car aficionados, the PA’s newfound international appeal, fueled by the popularity of Japanese modified cars worldwide, has led to unexpected challenges.

As Daikoku PA grapples with unexpected popularity, authorities emphasize the importance of responsible foreign tourism and adherence to guidelines to ensure a positive experience for all users. The report sheds light on the complexities of managing increased tourist interest while preserving

the essence of this iconic spot for car enthusiasts in Yokohama.
