Billionaire knocked down mountains to build private track, and ended up creating the Disney of car enthusiasts

Bothered by the restrictions and operational limitations of traditional racetracks and looking for a private sanctuary for his intense passion for motorsport, the executive director of the Magarigawa Club decided to get an absolutely monumental project in Asia off the ground. Instead of just collecting super sports cars from world-renowned brands and constantly traveling from circuit to circuit, the solution found was to shape the rock relief itself in the middle of a dense forested area in Chiba Prefecture, about 100 kilometers from the urban center of Tokyo, erecting a unique private complex.

Named The Magarigawa Club, the venue functions as the first strictly private driving club for select members across the Asian continent, following a highly exclusive proposition similar to that of famous European motorsport resorts. The main track is 3.5 kilometers long, standing out for an 800-meter straight, stretches with a strong variation in elevations and exactly 22 technical and challenging corners.

The entire support infrastructure has an air-conditioned pit lane, offering specialized mechanical and technical support for the cars before and after acceleration on the asphalt, which has strict international safety standards for total peace of mind for drivers.

Since it opened its doors in mid-2023, the space has been fully integrated into a high-end luxury resort, designed to welcome enthusiasts of different nationalities. The architectural project includes large relaxation areas, an infinity pool with panoramic views, a wellness center, a bar, a gym, a spa, karaoke rooms and haute cuisine restaurants. This unique concept has turned the isolated mountainous region into a sought-after meeting place for owners of ultra-high-performance vehicles and is a frequent venue for private tests and major corporate events of premium automotive brands in the competitive Asian market.
