Fantastic experience with go-karting through Tokyo streets! - Very nice experience at JAPANKART. If you're coming to Tokyo, you must have done go-karting. I booked through GetYourGuide. Was skeptical at first, because it was still a new activity via GetYourGuide, not much reviewed and quite pricey. I really wanted to and so I went for it. No regrets and it was a fantastic experience! The whole activity lasted about two hours. Briefing, demo video and 90 minutes drive. We drove over many places. 2x self through Shibuya Crossing. Nice to see Tokyo this way. We were a group of 8 riders and 3 guides (one in van in the front we followed/ one in the back who followed us in car/ one on a motorcycle to guide). 1x the group got split at traffic lights, because we couldn't all continue (including cars that intervened). Guide on motorcycle quickly took over and guided us neatly to the rest of the group, who were waiting for us further down the road. The gambling doctor were good and easy to drive, only the steering wheel was heavy. For those who get wrist pain quickly, I would not recommend it. You have to be able to drive well and hold on strong. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Especially Marge was very nice. Thanks again for the top experience Marge and his team:) Photos and videos will be taken of you on tour. You can backload mail. These were sent neatly, as they themselves indicated. Nice shots, too. They took time to take good pictures of group and individual riders. If I were ever to go to Tokyo again (for sure I will come back), I would love to go karting again at JAPANKART. Don't hesitate and book! Had been last fall, September 2024.

The professionalism,... - The professionalism, positive attitude, patience, understanding, politeness and arrangement of the tour by Marge, Leo, Kenny and Alice on 27 Nov 2024 1pm exceeded my expectations. They all spoken very fluent englsh which really helped. The shop, costume, etc were all well maintained and clean. Everything was well explained and organised. Not only did they look after us well but the non-driving accompanied passenger too. I am very impressed and appreciative of all their effort and care. Also very impressed with their coordination and communication skills amongst themselves - They had a lead car in the front, a back vehicle (e.g. block traffic behind us so we can all change lane quickly and safely) and a motorcyle to ensure we won't get lost throughout the tour. During the tour, they took many good quality and well-angled photos and videos where possible and shared them via google drive (if you would like to receive them) within 12 hours. They made safe stops to ensure we are all ok. Will not be surprised to do the same route again with those amazing staff if I visit Tokyo again. Have been recommending this tour to my friends who may consider this experience. A big thank you to Marge, Leo, Kenny and Alice for making this tour so enjoyable and memorable.

Fantastic and fun couple of hours!! - We absolutely loved JapanKarts. The karts were brand new and the staff were so friendly. The tour itself exceeded our expectations. The first 10 mins is a little scary but once you get the hang of it, it’s so much fun. Driving thru Shibuya Crossing, cruising thru the streets of Tokyo in a Go-kart. An unforgettable experience. Would totally recommend🤩

They go above and beyond to ensure you feel comfortable and operate the Karts safely and within the rules. The scenery and destinations are fantastic too! An amazing experience, and I will be booking on another tour in rte future!

Would highly recommend - The best experience! Would recommend that you try this while you are in Tokyo. You get to dress up as characters and drive around the streets of Tokyo. They take photos throughout the experience too.

5 stars Go Kart experience - 5 stars! I did my research and compared the many different Go Kart options in Tokyo and decided to go with JapanKart. It was such a super fun and uniquely Japan experience! I was impressed with how clean and well maintained the Go Karts were. Great selection of costumes in excellent condition. Staff looked after us so well and it was very well organised. I loved how they made a lot of effort to help us to photos and videos. Must do activity in Japan!

Thrilling Japan Kart Adventure in Tokyo! - Today I joined a two-hour go-kart adventure in Tokyo, and it was an unforgettable experience! The facility was well-organized, and the go-karts were in excellent condition. I loved the chance to drive through the vibrant streets of Tokyo while enjoying the beautiful city scenery. The staff members were incredibly helpful and friendly, providing clear instructions and ensuring that everyone felt safe before hitting the track. Overall, I highly recommend this go-karting experience to anyone visiting Tokyo. It's a fantastic way to explore the city and have a blast at the same time! Definitely a 5-star experience!

Amazing experience - Had an amazing go karting experience with Japan Kart. They took 100 of pictures and videos of everyone while we were on the road. They made sure that everyone was always safe. They provided us with amazing snacks on our arrival and all the staff members were really nice. If anyone wants to book go karting experience in tokyo, I would definitely recommend them. We took 2 rounds of shibuya crossing which was an amazing experience
