Absolutely amazing! We booked shinjuku at night and it was even better than we expected. It’s already super fun to drive go karts around Tokyo, but to do it at night when the city is lit up is even better. The staff were all incredibly helpful and professional, and they took pictures and videos at different points on the route. Just one of the coolest things ever. I would 1000% recommend it.

Wow! This was truly a top hit on our visit to Japan! My parents thought I was crazy but we couldn’t wipe the smiles off our faces the entire time! Noah and Luis made us feel so safe as we rode the streets of Tokyo (just embrace the onesies as part of the experience - you’ll feel like a celebrity as bystanders wave at you)! Once in a lifetime tour!

What a wonderfully fun experience to drive around the City on a GoKart!!!!! We were navigating our karts on busy streets with ease. The instructions given to us by the staff members were absolutely perfect without missing a beat. The pictures and videos that were taken by the staff members makes the experience even more memorable and exciting!!!!!
