Air conditioned room with free wifi for guests to wait on the couch. Fun and easy operate go-karts! The guides took amazing videos and photos and sent them to us at the end. Small recommendation: Maybe bring a mask or bandana for the smoke coming out of the karts.

This was the most fun you can have in OSAKA, I was laughing the whole time! You drive on the streets of Osaka dressed as anime characters! Everyone waves at you or does a double take! It is very safe, the guide is very careful and takes you on side streets, if you are on the larger streets you are usually in the slow lane next to the bike lane. I am 65 years old and did it with my kids, what a great family memory!!!
