What to bring

• Bring your original paper International Driving Permit (1949 Geneva Convention) or a valid Japanese driver's license, as well as your passport, for check-in and verification.

• Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move easily, as costumes are worn over your own clothing.

• Wear shoes that stay securely on your feet; sneakers or other flat, closed shoes are strongly recommended, while backless sandals, flip-flops, slides, high heels, and any footwear unsuitable for operating pedals are not allowed.

• In winter, dress warmly and consider bringing gloves, as the karts are open-air and it can get cold while driving.

What's not allowed
