epic experience - Such an epic experience with Japan Go-Kart! We cruised through the streets of Asakusa, Ueno, and Akihabara—felt like real-life Mario Kart! It was so much fun zipping around iconic Tokyo spots in costume, turning heads and waving at locals. A must-try for anyone looking to add some thrill and laughs to their trip!

The best fun while in Japan, highly recommend Japan Kart! - So much fun, staff were very friendly & reassuring. Excellent safety standards. Offered hot & cold drinks as well as snacks before & after Karts. Instant photos sent via airdrop. Karts were well maintained & cleaned. It was a very cold day & they even had insulation jackets & pants to wear. Highly recommended!

Amazing Japan Kart Experience - What an amazing experience, we are travelling from Australia and we thought we’d give this a go. Trust me this is an experience of a lifetime, we had a ball. The staff were exceptional with safety right through to parking back at the venue. Do it, you won’t regret it.

A must do, when in Tokyo! - Hands down, this is a must do when visiting Japan. It was the perfect group activity for us with a unique way of seeing the beauty of Tokyo at night. The crew were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and (road safety, driving etiquette) thoughtful as they captured photos and short videos of us throughout the tour as a keepsake. We even dressed up in costumes for the ride. It was a cold night so in addition to adding more fun to this experience, it kept us warm too. Overall, such a memorable activity!

Give it a try!! - Activity was super fun and engaging. Get to tour around the area with vehicles on road, super exciting! Initially was afraid, but there were 3 guides in total to ensure you’re not lost from the group!

Did not get to drive or money back! - Very bad service! It’s hidden text that you need international drivers license! We went 5 persons there and did not get to drive, we didn’t even get our money back!
