The Sideways Experience

The Sideways Experience runs international drift courses and car hire at Ebisu Circuit in Nihonmatsu. Packages range from single-day hot laps to multi-day schools with tuition, mechanics and tyre support.

They organize transfers and local accommodation for package guests and are frequently listed by regional tourism and motorsport sources as an official drift-school operator at Ebisu Circuit.

Beginner to advanced drivers can book supervised sessions using SidewaysX cars or bring their own car for tuition. Instructors provide on-track coaching, hot laps, and hands-on setup help.

Look out for:

• Daily drift car rentals and one-day or multi-day tuition packages.

• Professional instructors and on-site mechanics included in many packages.

• Transfer options from Koriyama Station and local accommodation in package deals.

• Sessions held across Ebisu Circuit’s multiple drift tracks.

Best way to experience it:

Book a package that includes transfers and accommodation if you're travelling from outside the region; arrive with basic driving gloves and closed shoes, and expect a safety briefing before track time. Review your booking to confirm whether tyres, fuel and track hire are included.

• Bookings and specific inclusions vary by package—check the official site for your chosen package.

• Transfers are commonly offered from Koriyama Station but confirm pickup points and times.

• Bring proof of driving license; language support may vary so ask about English instruction if needed.

• Expect briefings and safety checks before you drive; arrive early for vehicle preparation.
