The staff were great! The karts were in good order. And I especially appreciated how the staff managed to organise rain for the final half hour or so. I live in the tropics and this made me feel at home! 😎 I would highly recommend this business to anyone!

We went on a very rainy day but I was thankful we still were able to enjoy the ride and it was not cut too short. My family came all the way from Chicago so I wanted them to have the best experience. Thank you for such a great time!

Great experience and unique way to see Tokyo. Easy to book through Headout and JapanKart were a great team. Must do not only for first timers. I will bring this again next visit to Tokyo.

Very organised, they explained everything well. Gave us training on how to use the go carts. Great support on the road so I felt very safe. The costumes were fun and they took lots of photos and drop boxes them to us. Highly recommend Japankarts. The booking was straightforward with Headout.

    The day was awesome, it felt like I was in a Mario kart game driving through the streets of Tokyo haha. The karts got quite a bit of speed up too, and the 90 minutes went by so quickly. The staff and organisation were fantastic, they made sure safety was first and out on the road were with you to support if needed. Well done for a great company providing a fantastic experience in Tokyo ❤️
