Absolutely Worth The Hype 😮‍💨 - This experience was amazing and the highlight of our Japan trip. We booked the 5pm session and it was perfect. We got to see spectacular views of the city from both day & night time views. Also, the team at the Kantu location are all fantastic. They were helpful, considerate, & even took & shared photos of us during the experience. For a group of 5, this was great!

An awesome experience with a great focus on safety. - In researching a company to do a karting tour through Tokyo, this company always rated highly. I am so glad we chose them. From the meet and greet when you arrive, the staff are super friendly and very helpful. They help you get all the paperwork and details completed promptly and efficiently when you arrive. Make sure you check all the details you need to take there. Once check in is complete, they get you to chose an costume to help make the day special. Its cool to wear one as it just adds to the experience. Once everyone is signed in and dressed, they do a safety briefing on a short video with some explanations thrown in. Then its downstairs and outside to the carts where they run you through all features. The carts were very modern, well maintained and looked a lot better than all the other companies we saw driving through Tokyo. You have a lead car with a car following and a scooter to help bring everyone back together if you get split up. Once you are off, you follow the lead car and assume single file or two abreast depending on traffic. The lead car signals via hand signs. It took about 20 minutes for everyone to get into a routine and also use to the carts. the carts were very easy to drive. The scenery was good to see as you drove through the streets of Tokyo. We drove through Shibuya crossing twice and stopped a couple of times for photos also. I felt safe at all times and was extremely happy with there focus on safety. I would wholeheartedly recommend this company as your first choice for a Karting tour through Tokyo.

Fun and very safe Karting thru Tokyo - Japan Cart is easy to find being a short walk from Kanda Station. Operation is well organised with great support for the mainly English speaking customers. Routes well planned and exceedingly safe, Karts are nice and modern and well lit for night trips Highly Recommended

Hopefully didn’t break too many road rules 🇯🇵🏎️ - Have this as my highlight of my time on Tokyo, seamless operation from booking in , safety video briefing, rundown of the controls of the cart and the do’s and please dont’s of Japanese road rules. The route taken took in lots of the highlights including Shibuya crossing, Imperial Palace and a stop at Tokyo from pits stop 😉 and photos . Staffs were really pleasant and enthusiastic…… pre planning is essential because of the need of an international driver’s license. ….. you should definitely put this into your itinerary…….Daz Bevington 🇦🇺

A great experience! - I had a lot of fun with my husband and nephew. We dressed up in costumes for the crazy experience too. Before there was a safety lesson and how the gokart works. The one also added to the group experience like driving in a row or in two on a side depends on the parts of the city.

Just DON’T book it! - I have booked the experience, paid for it and in the last minute couldn’t make it, because of the International driver license (I had paid a fortune in my country to issue it and they didn’t accept nor gave me the refund or partial refund). I strongly recommend for brazilians and people from other nationalities (Many people can’t drive in Japan) NOT TO BOOK neither try to do it. COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY! There are plenty other things to do in Tokyo, in Japan in general, so go for other activities! I’ve lost A LOT of money, paying the activity and the driver license, getting transport to the place and I’ve lost my precious vacation time in Japan too! So listen to me and DON’T LOSE YOUR time with it! Vacation is when you want to be happy, not frustrated!
