True life Mario Kart - Absolutely incredible! I booked directly through Japan Kart website, months in advance, which actually meant it was out of date as it was on an old system. All I had to do was show them the original confirmation email I received when I booked, and they sorted it there and then on the spot. The staff were really kind and helpful. When I asked about using my GoPro in some way, the manager, Chester, gave me a range of options, offering head mounts and chest mounts, but when I revealed my GoPro pole, they were happy to attach it to the back of the kart for me, looking down, giving an awesome Mario-Kart-style point of view. The tour itself was great fun and there was always a support vehicle in front and at the back at all times, meaning all karts were safe at all times from the traffic. Not only is it a cool way to see Tokyo, but dressing up in costume and driving around the city, low to the ground, is JUST GREAT FUN. If you’re a confident driver, this is an experience I highly recommend. All I was missing was some bananas skins and red shells to throw!

Fantastic! Not to be missed. - This was the highlight of my over 50 years of driving! Japankart are very professional and ensured that all drivers were briefed beforehand on the Japanese road rules and operation of the kart. The ride itself was led by a van with a van at the rear to protect riders from traffic and to marshal riders through traffic stops. Riding through the streets of Tokyo, and especially through Ginza, was memorable. All in all, a five star attraction!

A TOKYO MUST DO - Having done many activities around the world this one ranks up there as one of the best. From the moment we arrived to book in we were greeted with enthusiasm and a friendly smile. After the check in process we were given a detailed briefing on road rules,kart operation and safety. Out on the road we were guided by 2 vans one up front and one behind to help us along. It was 2 hours of the best fun. Our tour left at 5pm. Daylight , sunset and Tokyo city lights. Thank you to the entire crew. Special mention to Matt and Emmy. A great experience. A Tokyo must do age no barrier. Im 70

Best Go Karting Experience Ever!!! - It was the best experience in Tokyo! The team was so knowledgeable and ran the business wonderfully, thinking about the customer experience being first. They thought about safety and ran the experience perfectly! I liked the neighbourhood we drove around, much better then ones we saw in the rest of Tokyo that were to busy.

10/10! Could not recommend more! - The tour was amazing! The staff were extremely helpful and there English was fluent. They provided lot of support and guidance on how to use the carts as well as road rules and signal meanings. It was an amazing experience couldn’t recommend more. They additionally suggested some amazing places to visit on our trip in Osaka and a nice dinner stop for afterwards. Best experience to go to see Osaka!
