Private Jumbo Taxi to Tokyo Auto Salon 2027 Makuhari｜Easy for Large Groups and Luggage

Tokyo Auto Salon 2027, held at Makuhari Messe from January 15th to 17th, 2027. When you go with your friends and family who love custom cars, the most troublesome thing is “the distance from the venue.” Trains are full, cars are full in the parking lot—that day’s commute, with a charter jumbo taxi from the front door to the venue, is presented in a chronological model course. The venue is located in Minami-Hamamachi, Chiba City.

On the day of the auto salon, are you having this kind of thought while traveling?

With a custom car or motorsports festival, you want to avoid getting exhausted on the way to the venue. First, think of specific examples of the typical "uncomfortable" situations that happen on the day.

Train: Transfer between Makuhari Seaside and back with your loot

Although it is close enough to walk from the JR Keihokan Hamamatsuchō Station, it is inconvenient to transfer if you are coming from the city center or the west side of Saitama and Tokyo. On the way back, my bags are packed to the brim with parts, goods, and catalogs. With a group of 4 to 9 adults, we all end up cramped in the crowded car, and we sometimes can’t even talk about our impressions on the way home, which is a real shame.

Private car: Parking is full in the morning, and it takes several hours to get out of the parking lot on the way back.

Although the parking lot at Makuhari Messe is large, with about 5,500 cars, during the Auto Salon period it usually gets full by 8 a.m. On weekends, the traffic starts around 9 a.m., leading from the Tokaido Highway at Bayonchi-Shizugawa IC to the Keiyo Road at Makuhari IC. The traffic is also heavy on the way back, with congestion on surrounding roads causing it to take several hours to get out of the lot. Every year, people hear complaints about being exhausted from driving and traffic jams after seeing their beloved car—it’s a shame that they had to spend so much time looking at it in the first place.

Let's compare the mobility options with flat tires.

Each method has its advantages. However, to help you decide which one is best for you, we have listed what might be the most difficult aspects of going to an auto show with a group of 4 to 9 people.

When you look at it this way, the difficulties of carrying large loads, the stress of parking and traffic jams, and the fatigue from having to share the car—difficulties that are hard to put into monetary terms—are all combined in a single rental. The idea is that if there are enough people, you can share the cost of those hassles.

The model course on the day of the charter (in chronological order)

For example, let's draw a timeline of a day when five to six friends from Saitama, Tokyo, and Chiba head there on Saturday to open the park. The time is just a guide.

1. Pick-up at home or at a gathering place:Pick you up at the front door at the specified time. Your heavy camera bag and cooler box will be packed together and loaded into the luggage compartment. We’ll all leave together in the same car.
2. Directly to the venue:While watching the traffic situation on the expressway, we headed to Makuhari Seaside Park. During the journey, we held a strategy meeting to decide which booth to visit this year. We didn’t have to worry about finding parking; we just got off at a convenient location in front of the venue.
3. Enjoying the Auto Salon:Take your time exploring the tuning cars, companions, demo cars, and merchandise booths. Since the car is left to the driver, you can enjoy it without worrying about time.
4. Picking up the spoils:After the viewing, we pick you up again at the venue at the scheduled time. We load all the parts, merchandise, and large catalogs onto one vehicle, so you don't have to stand in a line waiting to check out.
5. Go home directly (with or without detours):We flexibly adjust our plans as needed, from setting off from a restaurant in Makuhari Beach to returning home, with members being dropped off in order. Even during traffic jams, we can all talk about the day’s memories together.

Ideas for a stopover in Makuhari Beach

If you’ve come all the way to Makuhari, it’s also recommended to take a break before and after the Auto Salon. With a private rental, you can easily stop by at any of the stops you want.

Answering questions before they arise

We have compiled the frequently asked questions we receive during car salon pick-up and drop-off services.

How many people can ride?

The Jumbo Taxi (Toyota HiAce Wide Super Long) can accommodate up to 9 people. Whether you’re traveling with a group or as a family, you can move together in one vehicle without having to share space.

Can large luggage or parts be loaded?

There is a luggage compartment that can hold suitcases and large luggage. For larger items or long items, please consult us in advance regarding their suitability (we will not make a final decision; we will provide a quote).

Can I wait in the venue?

We can customize your pickup time and wait time during the viewing, allowing for flexibility based on your specific needs. There are no additional charges for late or early morning pickup times.

Reservation Flow

1. Contact:Please provide the date, time, number of participants, departure point, and destination (Tokyo Auto Salon 2027 / Makuhari Messe) from the web form.
2. Plan and Estimate:We will suggest the optimal vehicle type, route, and estimated fare.
3. Booking Confirmed:Once you are satisfied with the content, it is final. Since the date of the event is likely to be crowded, it is reassuring to consult us early.
4. Boarding on the day:We will pick you up at your designated location and take you to the venue. We will also deliver your loot back to you on your way out.

summary

If you’re heading to the Tokyo Auto Salon 2027 (January 15–17, Makuhari Messe) with friends and family, the easiest way to get there is to have everyone get in the same car from the front door to the venue. Instead of having to carry a large load in a packed train or worry about parking when returning home, you can all go together in the same car, whether it’s four or nine people. With a group of people that size, you can split the cost and leave the hassle of the day behind. If you’re traveling from a nearby area with a small group, trains are convenient, but for larger groups and with large luggage or from a remote location, chartering a car is often the most sensible option.
