OUR STORY

The Hakone Turnpike can be compared to The Magarigawa Club's driving course. The road was privately reserved and the winding road was driven in exhilarating conditions under the best weather conditions.

As soon as you enter the clubhouse of The Magarigawa Club, bamboo artwork adorns the ceiling of the entrance. Bamboo is grown, carefully selected, torn into small pieces, coloured and woven one by one. The Banboo Art is created by the bamboo artist Nakatomi Kazu, whose works have been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world.

This video compares driving in a racing simulator and in the field. It gives a more concrete image of driving.

Boshu saws have a 450-year history in Minamiboso. Each saw is made by craftsmen from a single steel plate through 24 processes and then passed on to the planters.

In March 2021 we held our third MAGARIGAWA Academy event. A unique experience provided by The Magarigawa Club, the Academy offers our members small group sizes, ample time behind the wheel, and in-depth briefings from professional race car drivers.

In March 2021, we took our first hike in the Magarigawa construction site to seek possibilities of creating a Magarigawa Trekking Course. Birds were singing with fresh air blowing through the woods together with an aroma of soil and sunlight filtering through leaves... Nature is a part of The Magarigawa Club.

In December 2020 we held "MAGARIGAWA Virtual Drive with KAMUI", having Kamui Kobayshi as a special host for the event. Guests drove on the virtual driving course of The Magarigawa Club in a racing simulator. They had a unique experience getting direct 1 on 1 driving lessons from Kamui.

Building a racetrack in the mountains is not something most of the professionals in our business has experienced before. This project is far from easy and requires hard work from many people involved.

We held a SUV driving event "MAGARIGAWA SUV Trail Drive" at our construction site in November 2020. The participants experienced the steep hills of Magarigawa with their own SUVs which was only possible at this timing with the construction moving forward everyday.

In the beginning of June 2020, a groundbreaking ceremony was held to pray for the safety of the construction. Despite the forecast showing a 90% chance of rain that day, the rain actually stopped during the ceremony, and then started again as we were driving away. Perhaps the gods of the weather were also celebrating the official start of our club’s construction.
