This was my first time doing Street Kart in Osaka and even though I was a bit nervous at first, it was such a fun experience! The whole team were so friendly and helpful. Our tour guide Ginga was such a great/fun guy and took lots of photos for us. We did the 7.30pm session and would recommend to do the night time karting. The team gave a nice surprise souvenir at the end. Would highly recommend everyone to try the Street Kart Osaka. Thanks to the whole team at Street Kart Osaka for such a wonderful and fun experience!

Brilliant one-hour tour that nails the balance of fun and safety. Check-in was smooth, the safety briefing was clear, and Arthur guided our group flawlessly with simple directions and constant awareness of the road. The route hits iconic Osaka spots without feeling rushed. If you want a memorable, worry-free ride with great guidance, this is it. Arthur is outstanding.

This is a great experience. The booking system is really good and thorough, making sure you have the correct documents before allowing you to book. The directions are also really detailed, so there is no chance of getting lost. In terms of the actual experience, it was great. The briefing is fairly detailed, making it clear what you can and cannot do, as well as teaching you all of the communications and how to actually drive the go karts. When you're out on the street, the instructor takes the lead and all other go karts follow. Our instructor was Ginga, he was absolutely brilliant, as were all of the other staff that we met. He was really friendly, made clear instructions and took loads of very good photos. We found that the general public and other tourists really loved seeing us drive by, with many of them waving and taking photos. We would thoroughly recommend this tour.

Professional & fun atmosphere. Felt safe throughout & also felt like a celebrity with so many people on the streets taking photos of us. Vivian was a great guide. It pushed me to the edge of my comfort zone but I had a great time. Loved that the onesies & photos are included.
