This Looks Like a Fun Tour

If you are in the Mountain of Hakone area or planning on a trip there this looks to be a fun tour, especially if you are an Initial D fan.  The Mountain of Hakone is the setting for the Initial D Fifth Stage Anime.  Fun2Drive Owner’s Club is introducing an Initial D car rental service.

The cars available are Takumi’s Panda Trueno AE86 and the Takahashi Brothers cars: RX-7 FC3S; and the RX-7 FC3S.  It is being marketed as the “Initial D Sacred Pilgrimage Tour: Comparative Drive Pack, Hakone Edition.”  The tour will run from May to September and will encompass four racing sites from the series: Nagao Pass; Hakone Turnpike; Shichimagari Pass; and the Tsubaki Line.

The cost is 14,980 yen/$146.00 and an additional 1,980 yen/$19.00 charge for each additional driver.  Rental fees for the vehicles are: 2,980 yen/$29.00 for the Trueno; 3,980 yen/$39.00 for the FC3S; and 4,980 yen/$49.00 for the FD3S.

Have fun if you go!
