We had an amazing experience driving the go-karts last night. Cruising through the streets with the city lights glowing and a cool breeze made it a truly unique and unforgettable experience. Alex was incredibly helpful and made sure the whole ride was safe and enjoyable. The rest of the team were fantastic too. Highly recommend.

My group and I had a blast driving around Shinjuku/Shibuya at night. Alex, our guide, was friendly and professional. He took lots of photos for us, made sure we were all looked after, and that we understood how to operate our karts. Our group never got separated and we felt safe on the road. Would definitely recommend! (:

Driving through the bustling streets of the city in a real-life go-kart, dressed as your favorite character, is truly surreal and exhilarating. I had a great time with Kota & Eunji

Amazing experience! Nice staff and very friendly. They treat us very well at all times, very respectful and patient. Miri, Kota and Matt deserve a raise! The tour was very fun and a pretty route. The only improvement will be to have a bit better costume selection from famous characters. Overall, 9.5/10 !

SOOO much fun! Did the go karting with my brother, and we both couldn’t stop laughing the whole time. Our guide Yuji was coool and kept checking if we were feeling safe. The best bit was zooming past people in costumes (felt a bit like a parade lol). Only thing, wish the helmets weren’t so tight. Def worth it!!
