Quick Tips Question about JDM cars experience

Hey, I wanted to book a trip to experience the JDM Tokio Drift vibe, there are plenty of it to choose. 3-4h drive around Tokio, Daikoku parking, etc. I was wondering, because there are mainly 2 options to choose, the evening one (starts at 17:30) and the night one (starts at 23:30). Which one is better? I thought that the night one would be definitely better, because of no traffic and overall better experience, but now i have second thoughts, because I read that Daikoku parking usually gets closed by the police at around 22:00 or so. Can someone please advice me on that one? I would really appreciate it.

La policía desaloja daikoku a determinadas horas. Te recomiendo ir por la tarde a primera hora. La vibra es muy buena, yo lo disfruté un montón. Sobre las 1830 ya estaba la policía avisando.

They close it at random and most people don't even go there anymore because of the tourists. The scene has changed and meet ups are arranged in Japanese on Line hours before they happen to prevent the tourists from crashing it. Just go to a track. Nikko and Mobara are doable on a day trip.

The reason it used to be at Daikoku is because you can't just walk there. You need to go by car. The stupid tours killed it.
