Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

• Use a fast shutter speed or night mode on your smartphone to capture the moving lights of the Shuto Expressway and the detailed modifications on the parked cars at Daikoku PA

• The NISSAN GALLERY is well-lit for indoor photography, but avoid using harsh flash to prevent glare on the polished car paint and glass displays

• Capture the iconic Daikoku PA spiral ramp from the upper pedestrian walkways for the classic wide-angle shot that defines Japanese car culture photography

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

When interacting with car owners at Daikoku PA, a polite bow and a simple gesture asking for permission to take photos goes a long way in showing respect for their hard work.

Keep your voice at a reasonable volume in the NISSAN GALLERY to respect other visitors and the serene environment.
