From what I understand Touge is toge in Japanese or means "pass" (mountain pass). It's essentially driving through the tight, steep winding mountain roads.
The name Touge got caught up with drifting. Drifting came from Touge driving, as they started to go sideways while doing Touge driving hence drifting was born.
This is true Touge driving -

Touge is cheap to do, because a near to stock car can be used and don't wear tyres out, like in drifting -
