This was a great experience from start to finish. Thanks to the safety briefing, and the JapanKart vans upfront and behind us all the way, we had a very exciting two hour tour through Tokyo’s hectic traffic. The karts are easy to drive once you get used to them, although they bounce around a bit on bumps on the streets. As they are low to the ground, it feels like you are absolutely flying. Excellently managed by Matt, Miu and the team. Highly recommended.

BEWARE! Matt Harvey ( British ) is the manager of this business and has an absolute no refunds policy once you’ve paid. We paid for 4 people (£320) and never got to do the karting. We booked once inside Japan so couldn’t get the original paper copy of the international driving license so they say you can’t drive the carts. Matt couldn’t even point us to the part of the booking process where this information is, so not sure where we were supposed to find it. This company seems to get 5* for those that did it and had fun or 1* for people like us that found it to be a scam. Terrible customer service and even worse that they will take your money at point of booking without even a pop up explaining that you must book from your home country.

This isn't exactly a tour since there's no talking during it, but there is something magical about riding go karts all over the streets and highways of tokyo. The team was super nice and we all felt super safe the entire time!

My husband and I really enjoyed the go cart experience. Just drive around Tokyo dress in costume was fun. I was pickachu and my husband was a minion. I think it for old children
