It was great driving around the streets of Tokyo at night. The Go-Karts were very responsive and went at a good speed. The guides were informative and provided good instructions and demonstration of how to use the cart before we started. I would highly recommend Japan Go Kart activity.

The route has quite a lot of traffic lights, so we tended to have to stop a bit. Would be good if the guide drives a motorbike instead of a van like other vendors, can see more of front view. But otherwise it was very fun and the duration was good!

The go-kart experience was fantastic! We joined a small group along with my partner, which made it feel more personal and enjoyable. We felt very safe throughout the ride — there was a lead car in front and a dedicated support car behind us, which gave us peace of mind. Driving through the streets of Japan was surprisingly easy to navigate, and it was a great balance of fun and safety. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Tokyo, a must-do experience!

    PLEASE MAKE SURE TO HAVE YOUR INTERNATIONAL DRIVERS LICENSE! You will not be able to drive if you don't show up with: your drivers licenses from your country, passport and international driver licenses all need to be physical! I have been living in New Zealand for a year, had my international driver's license at first but after a year it expired, my friend arrived in nz and we travelled together first in Australia and then Japan, while she had her international driver licenses all along, she was able to drive but I wasn't, so I had to sit in the van while she was driving. It was lovely of them to take me with them in the van to make up for at least some of it. And the staff is kind and helpful! My friend said it was really fun and an amazing way to see Tokyo! So deffo worth it! Just make sure to read their "before you book" page!!!
