There is no groomed surface.
No route, no signs, no guidance.
Only earth, stream and slope.
Where and how you drive is yours to decide.
Here, there is no set road.
The map you brought, you leave here.
Cross the stream, press the leaves, thread the trees.
One vehicle, one day.
A clear stream, always running.
▶ Tap to play — with sound
Any year. First generation or current.
Jimny Sierra, and the five-door Jimny Nomad.
One reason to keep it to one model:
so Jimny drivers share the same ground with Jimny drivers.
A light body. A ladder frame. Low-range four-wheel drive. A structure built for this car, used on land built for this car.
Ford the stream, climb the slope, and the Jimny ends up caked in mud.
So there is a pressure washer on site. When you are done, rinse it off before you head home.
Most of what is here, we made by hand.
The woodshed, the sink, this bath.
Set a steel drum, draw water from the stream, stack the blocks, lay the boards.
Buying is faster. We build it anyway.
You sink into the bath you built, with the sound of the stream.
That time, at least, is not for sale anywhere.
Your Jimny, filmed as it runs.
The moment it crosses the stream. The body climbing the slope. The panels under dappled light.
No people are photographed. Only the car, the earth, and the light.
What we capture is handed over as data — photos and video.
Not for social media, but as a record of the day.
First, once. See the land for yourself. In return, you agree to us photographing your vehicle and driving (no faces or number plates) and posting them on our official Instagram and this site.
A day of driving. Fire and bath, free to use.
Come as often as you like, and drive as long as you like.
Filming of your drive (the car only). Opt in when you apply.
Choose by the hours you drive and how often you come. Exact terms and availability are shared on enquiry.
We plan to hold meet-ups and gatherings regularly.
No need to be hardcore. Beginners welcome.
Dates are announced through our official channels.
Nature and tools carry danger.
Driving, bathing, sauna and staying — all by your own judgement and responsibility.
VehicleDamage, rollover, a wheel off the edge. You protect your own car. That is the premise.
InsuranceVehicle insurance generally does not cover driving in a place like this. Please check your policy in advance.
Fire & bathBurns, overheating, carbon monoxide. When fire is used, ventilate and keep water at hand. We may suspend use by weather or wind.
EligibilityA valid driving licence is required. No drink-driving, anywhere. Minors need a guardian’s consent to take part or ride along.
We bear no responsibility except in cases of intent or gross negligence. Before use, we ask for a risk briefing and your signature on a waiver.
“Yuuka” is welling water and a wood fire.
“Nobi” is the fire that burns the field and runs across it.
Only fire ties the two together.
At twenty, a JA11. Then a JB33. I have always driven Jimnys.
Jimny people don't love cars, or off-roading. They love the Jimny itself. I wanted this to be their place — that is why it is Jimny-only.
There is no course, on purpose. It isn't about lap times. Can you climb the slope, winch a fallen log or a boulder, cross the stream? Try whatever you like — because that is what I always wanted to do.
A field full of fallen trees and steep grades. Slipping between the trees is what a small Jimny does best.
YUUKA chose not to appear on any map.
NOBI, too, withholds its exact location.
But there is no screening and no invitation. All you need to bring is a licence, and your own responsibility.
This is the window for driving applications and enquiries.
Or write directly to info@yu-ka.space. The meeting point is shared after confirmation.
No. NOBI is Jimny-only. Jimny Sierra and the five-door Jimny Nomad are included, and any model year is fine.
Yes. There is no set course, so you take the slopes and the stream at your own pace. Beginners are welcome at the meet-ups too.
