to Amanokawa — a fictional Japanese prefecture where streets, mountain passes, and neon-lit highways become arenas for street racing.
Take the wheel of legendary Japanese cars, master the art of drifting, and control speed, style, and strategy across diverse districts — each with its own unique character and atmosphere.
City Center — dazzling skyscrapers, bright neon lights, and bustling streets.
Residential Areas and Suburbs — quiet lanes with diverse architecture, parks, and courtyards.
Industrial Zone and Factories — massive warehouses, pipes, and metal frameworks built for risky maneuvers.
Port and Waterfront — docks, containers, and cranes forming an industrial landscape.
Airport — vast runways and hangars perfect for high-speed runs.
Mountain Passes (Touge) — winding roads that test your drifting skills and reveal breathtaking views. At night, these routes turn treacherous: limited visibility, steep cliffs, and sudden obstacles make every drift a true challenge.
Rural and Forest Roads — villages, rice fields, and serene natural landscapes.
Historical and Cultural Landmarks — palaces, temples, and traditional buildings adding authentic Japanese flair.
Every zone seamlessly connects with the others, forming a living, diverse world to explore and race through.
In Rising Sun, each race type brings its own pace and challenge:
Drift — master precision slides through city streets and parking lots, earning points for accuracy and style.
Sprint — high-speed runs through straightaways and winding routes where every move counts.
Circuit — closed tracks that test precision, speed, and overtaking skill.
Drag — short straight-line bursts where timing your launch and gear shifts is everything.
Touge — winding mountain passes where drift control reaches new heights. Night races here are especially dangerous — limited light, sharp drops, and sudden obstacles turn every drift into a test of skill and nerve.
Unexpected challenges await around every corner in Amanokawa.
