5.00Great experience with a friendly guide. The gas fumes get a little overwhelming without a mask so make sure you bring a mask or use one of the ones in the costumes provided.

5.00I had such a great time. Initially I was a little discouraged by the rain, but actually it made it even more fun. We obviously were not racing, but in some part we were allowed to go a little bit faster, which was nice. I felt like the experience was the perfect time, not too short but not even too long. Our guide, Grace, was super nice, and she was very patient with all of us. Plus, she took many cute pictures of us. I definitely recommend this experience!
Own the roads of Osaka (with Ginga)!!

5.00We had an amazing experience with Street Kart Osaka Japan. Everything was extremely well organized, easy to follow, and made the whole experience stress-free from start to finish. Our guide, Mio, was fantastic—fun, friendly, and very helpful throughout the tour. She made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident on the road, which really added to the experience. All of the staff were equally professional, and supportive. The whole activity felt both exciting and very safe at the same time. It’s an incredibly fun way to explore Osaka and definitely something I’d recommend to anyone visiting the city. A must-do experience in Osaka! Cannot wait to come back!!!
