Hi, 1. To the best of my knowledge, they might get 2 groups, one goes a bit earlier than the other. I think that's what they mean. 2. Yes, all legal roads. You visit Fuji Speedway but you don't drive in the track. 3. In my opinion, it is about 90% very slow, and 10% very fast (if you are afraid a bit, you can ask to be last). I did the Mt Fuji tour, and there are around 3-4 places where you can go fast (the guide is ahead and warns you for any hazards). Also, it depends on the weather, we had fog and one or two places we had to go very slow. I think it should be ok if you used to the other side, as you are in a group and you can mimic the driver in front of you. 4. I would say it's more of a pleasant cruise with great scenery (depends on the weather, we couldn't see anything). 5. From memory, there are about 3-4 stops along the way. All up, I really enjoyed it, and I will definitely do it again if I will be around. I actually recommend doing the longer tour as it got more intense driving (as I was told). But if the passenger is not into it, maybe not.

You stop at "Kintoki Jinja Iriguchi (or Kintoki Shrine). Right in front of the place.

Hey mate, I’d probably stick to driving an auto as per other users have said, it can be a very challenging drive. You’d much rather want to enjoy the experience in an auto so you’re not stressing as much. Enjoy.

Yes as said above you are following the guide instructor in his own car, and he makes sure to allow enough room for your own pace/give you plenty of times to open up your own car and wind it out! But everything is done via walkie-talkie and very clear and precise communication as to oncoming traffic/road obstructions

If you're taking about doing actual laps on the track, then no. You get to enter the grounds, drive around to see the circuits, stop at the stands behind the main track. You can go out to the spectators seating area though

Hi,I took a cab from my hotel but all buses have numbers and destination clearly on their fronts.Also all staff in the station will be able to direct you . The buses run on time so it’s useful to ask in your hotel as they can give you all the timetable (they check it live on internet like airport flights)

The roads are very tight so the Lambo may be harder to drive since its wider.

I'd say catch the train to odawara and then catch the bus from there. There is a bus stop not too far from fun 2 drive as they dropped myself and another couple at the stop at the end of the day so we could get back to Tokyo.

You are in luck, I just did this single day trip 3 weeks ago by myself and I do not speak Japanese. The least complicated way to get to Fun2Drive from Tokyo is the Odakyu Hakone Highway Bus. It's roughly ¥3,900 roundtrip. Give yourself plenty of time. If your Fun2Drive session starts at 12:00pm noon go ahead and buy a ticket for a 9:00am bus. Technically, there probably is a 9:30am bus option available but you do not want to cut it too close. Remember, traffic can be really bad and it's not worth the risk of arriving late. I believe one of the last buses to leaves Hakone (right in front of Fun2Drive) heading back to Shinjuku is at roughly 6:35pm. So if a day trip is your plan, purchase your return ticket for that time. If you happen to get back to Fun2Drive earlier after your drive and you are lucky you may even be able to hop on an earlier bus back to Tokyo if you are out waiting at the bus stop. NOTE: Obviously, you will be boarding at the bus terminal in Shinjuku but technically there are TWO Kintoki Shrine stops. The first is the entrance to the Kintoki-Jinja Shrine (金時神社入口), the second is the entrance to the Kintoki Shrine Mountain Trail (金時登山口). You want to get off at the Kintoki-Jinja Shrine Entrance NOT the Mountain Trail Entrance. Aside from that it's just a matter of buying your tickets early enough to ensure you get a seat reservation and finding the Odakyu Hakone Highway Bus terminal in Shinjuku which is about a 10 minute walk from the Shinjuku Train Station (depending on what station exit you use). Enjoy your drive,
