HI all
I have the opportunity to head to tokyo in a couple of weeks for 2 weeks as my girlfriend is Japanese and I'm a huge WMMT fan, drive a 2014 VW Golf R in real life.
Is there special things to buy that is Wangan or Initial D related there? I was toying with the idea of driving the expressways just for once but not sure if its worth it to rent a car just for the one drive.
Any suggestions?

Do not F**k around on C1. There are speed cameras, undercover cruisers and motorbike cops that will pull you over. Additionally depending on when you drive it's also extremely congested. Aqualine has a smaller cop and camera presence but you're going nowhere fast if you're in a factory tuned car and if you're caught, that gets expensive fast and Japanese jails are not pleasant. You do not have the right to an attorney. Drive to experience the sights, don't drive recklessly if you do choose to drive the line.

The only thing I will say on the times it's clear is this- there is film of some guy in an RX7FC on C1 on New Year's eve into morn driving it like he stole it. There are a few other choice performance vehicles that are on the road going at it and he makes them look like they are standing still. I guess they run with no plates or have some countermeasure for all those speed cameras.
@deskyx- After Crow's statement and all the questions about when the line is free and clear, times that the implication is one can drive spiritedly on the expressway, I believe the reminder had to be put out there. Common sense is not so common, but I'm guilty of failing common sense too.
