Hi Gary, I believe Haruki's track in Tokyo is the only King track in Japan. There are no commercial raceways for 1/24 racing except for a couple of Plafit race centers which only run Plafit cars.

It's Haruki's own personal Gerding King track which he setup in a warehouse building he used for one of his businesses.

It's unique to Japan and Haruki has done a great job in gettng the building/track setup and starting a D3 racing group in Tokyo less than a year ago.
