The Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc.

This will be an amazing parade with vehicles coming straight out of the circuit or museum to drive along the streets of Odaiba for one special day. The diverse lineup will include Japan’s first production models and classic cars that adorned the Showa era alongside racing cars and rally cars that are not normally seen on public roads. Keiji Furuya, Chairman of the National Public Safety Commission, will participate in the parade as guest. Also, racing car driver Takuma Sato and Kondo Racing Team Director Kondo will drive parade vehicles. The history of cars and motorcycles will gather here, bringing excitement to the Odaiba Motor Festival kickoff.
