Great experience and they included free phone mounts! - It was a great experience! I booked it earlier the same day and instantly got a confirmation via Viator and a mobile ticket. I used Google maps to get me to the site, I took the Asakusa line and it was a 10-15 min walk to the building. I originally walked right past it, but when I went back and glanced in, I saw the "Japan Kart" sign. Check in was simple, they had my name on a list, they just validated my credentials and I signed a waiver. They had plenty of costumes - or as I preferred - just thick winter jackets and pants since it was very cold. They ALSO had free Go-Pro and PHONE mounts! I spent all day trying to find a phone mount at Don Quiotes and Bic, because I wanted first-hand footage. I knew on their site they had Go-Pro mounts, I did not realize they had phone mounts. I was so happy to see them, and they were free to use! Rules were simple and fair. Carts go pretty fast, but lots of stops at lights, so its not overwhelming and the carts do also hit a max speed, so you cant go too crazy. We stopped half way through on a bridge with an amazing view of the skyline in the distance. They look lots of photos of us and sent those out for free as well! Would recommend and do again!

Fun city tour - It was a great experience! Driving through the city of Tokyo and seeing the beautiful neighborhoods with the wind blowing in your hair. The karts handle well and driving them was a blast!

100% recommend - The entire experience was so much fun and such a cool and interesting way to see so much of Tokyo. The staff was amazing giving us options because of the weather and then giving us rain ponchos during the second half of the ride because it started to rain. I would definitely recommend this company for anyone wanting a go kart tour of Tokyo. Safe, fun, and very unique experience.

11/10! - The most amazing experience. 11/10 review! I would do it again and again. You drive on the streets on Tokyo amongst the locals. A unique experience that you definitely can’t do back home in Australia.

Karting in Tokyo - This was sooo much fun! If you’re in Tokyo, this is a top 3 activity you must do. The instructor/ tour directors were so nice and great at explaining how to use the go karts. And wearing the costumes was fun as well lol

Bad start, good ending very helpfull and honest company - We arrived very early at japankart. So we decided to allready fill in the forms. We discovered that we needed a translation form if you want to drive in japan. We are from Belgium . Co worker Matt try to help us getting the form online on JAF. it did not work..we had to go ourself to JAF. We could not do our karting. The company payed us back 50% of the karting. Matt took such a good care of us. We can do a second kart in osaka. He took care of a new booking and without any charges. He is our hero. Very good and trustfull company. Honest and helpfull people..we can not thank you enough. Special thank to Matt..he made it all good. We booked our trip with getyourguide. There was no info about the form when we made our booking. Keep that in mind people.

Which side of the road? - The staff were very informative and helpful and made sure we felt safe. We are not used to driving on the left side of the road. So, those of us that were not used to it felt pretty confident for the start. We did great, especially having the lead car, paying attention and doing their best not to get separated from us. We had an incredibly fun time!

Terrible experience with lack of understanding and respect - Unfortunately, I have no good memories to share; on the contrary, it was a horrible experience for our first day in Tokyo. If you cannot be at the meeting point 15 minutes before your tour due to unforeseen circumstances beyond your control as a tourist (heavy traffic or issues with public transportation), they will not care, understand or be flexible and will not issue a refund. They will keep your money and consider the involuntary delay as an automatic cancellation. They basically steal your money even though you have valid and real reasons for the delay. Please note that we let them know about our situation one hour before and they were not able to find us a solution but to keep our money. Also, please be aware that Matt Harvey, the manager, and his team are disrespectful and unwilling to help or understand. They furthermore laugh at us instead of helping. They ignored our arguments and concerns and made fun of us. I would not recommend using Japan Kart at any cost, and I hope they don’t delete this review. How they treated us was disrespectful and beyond rude. They lack of respect was unbelievable and I cannot believe that this kind of business operates in Japan. Please find another place, please.
