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!

It was very well-planned and managed - from briefing ride up till you drive back to the garage. The team is very helpful as well. The drive was very scenic(city) and fun with a feel of being in an F1 race and random people taking pictures of you(sometimes) as you stop at traffic lights. The headquarters are not very far off from the station - about 5-10mins walk. I'd recommend the 2-hour tour - you won't even feel like it and want more!

Quick and easy booking process. Loved Street Go-Kart Experience in Asakua. Luckily no one else booked so it was just our group of 5. Customes were great and the extra things like gloves and googles came in handy as it was cold. Definitely one of the many highlights on our first time to Tokyo.

    • Pick a costume that fits your vibe — superhero, mascot, or something quirky — and make your ride even more fun.

  • Tokyo’s east side offers a mix of old and new, and this go-kart ride lets you take it all in—fast. With a custom-built kart, a safety briefing, and a lead guide keeping things smooth, you’re ready to hit the road.

    From neon streets to historic landmarks

    The route moves from the modern waterfront of Toyosu to the flashing billboards of Akihabara. Ginza’s high-end storefronts line the way, followed by Ueno’s parks and museums. The ride through Asakusa brings views of Sensō-ji Temple before ending beneath Tokyo Skytree, standing tall at 634 meters.

    A ride with character (literally)

    Costumes add to the fun, whether it’s a superhero suit or an anime-inspired look. A guide leads the way, a support car follows, and photos capture the moments in between. The streets are yours—just with a little extra flair.
