What weโre about
Welcome to the Osaka JDM Drive Legends Club!
This English and Foreigner Friendly club welcomes everyone from all corners of the world (Japan included of course!) as a place for petrol heads to unite.
Own a JDM Car? Awesome! Meet up with us to show off your wheels!
Don't own a JDM Car? No problem! We have meetups where renters can join, or you can ride shotgun with a member somewhere?
Don't have a driving license? We even have Go-Kart Meetups, Driving Simulator Meetups, or meetups where we grab some food and talk about Drifting, Driving, Racing etc.
Don't live in Osaka? If you are visiting we are of course very welcoming of all members from anywhere in the world. Join us for a drive on in International Driving Permit, or join a non-driving event.
- Learn about CarExport, or how to buy your own car
- Join Petrol Heads and show off your wheels
- Make Friends with like-minded people
- Join our LINE group and drop by secret PA car meets!
- And more from Japanโs vibrant JDM Universe
So if you live in Japan, or just visiting, if you're ready to learn, share our love of speed and noise. ๐๐๐

This is our second JDM meetup in Osaka, a cosy but high-energy evening for car lovers and curious newcomers.
You can hang out in our showroom, enjoy games, meet other JDM fans, and join a night cruise in real Japanese sports cars around Osaka.
If you love cars, you will feel at home.
If you are not a car geek, you will still enjoy the thrill of powerful cars, city lights, and a friendly international community.

We will prepare several cars from our fleet, subject to availability. For example:
- Subaru WRX
- Nissan Fairlady 350Z
- Mitsubishi GTO
- Mitsubishi Lancer
- Nissan Silvia
- Toyota GT86
How it works:
- First come, first served for driver spots when you check in.
- If you have valid documents, you may drive one of our cars and might take other guests as passengers.
- If you prefer not to drive, or you do not have the required documents, you can join as a passenger in our cars or with another guest.
- We try to let as many people as possible experience the cars, but driving is not guaranteed for everyone.
- You are welcome to come with your own car, but we do not organize or take responsibility for private vehicles.
