I love the experience that I’ve had! The two guys are men, and they’re absolutely amazing at explaining everything not only in Japanese, but also in English. I would highly recommend to do the 2 hours. due to you being able to experience a lot more different locations. And also the tour guide is super super super calm and very helpful and amazing at taking pictures. And if you don’t like them, at least you could let them know and they’ll retake the pictures. it was two of us female females. With the one tour guide. and it was honestly still a great experience because he was able to really take his time and they both were very respectful as well. And mind you I came here by myself. so it was an amazing experience and I would also highly recommend to book the 6 PM so you can see the daytime and also the sunset close to nighttime.
What an awesome way to explore the streets of Tokyo! I was the only one on my 2-hour session, but my host was super awesome! Driving through the streets of Tokyo at night all lit up was a whole other level of amazing!
Unforgettable Go-Karting in Akihabara! Driving a go-kart through the streets of Akihabara was an incredible experience! The staff was friendly, the karts were easy to handle, and the safety briefing was clear. Cruising past Tokyo landmarks in costume made it even more fun. A perfect mix of sightseeing and adventure—don’t forget your international driving permit! Highly recommended for a unique Tokyo activity.
An amazing experience!! The guides were very friendly and they took a lot of pictures throughout the whole tour. we had a great time, a definitely must do! I would recommend to anyone going to Tokyo.
This was one of the most amazing experiences we have ever done. when in Tokyo, you must try this. It is quite remarkable to be able to drive on the streets of Tokyo. doing this at dusk was unreal. I can not fault the experience. The people running the experience are very patient and helpful. Only in Japan is this experience available and thoroughly exciting.
beyond amazing!!!! highly highly recommended for anyone going tokyo. did this on my first night in tokyo and it was a blast! a unique and fun experience like no other. just need your passport and idp. only downside is the amount of gas chemicals you are breathing in and the costumes look quite old and used but 10/10 will do it again, super fun for people that loves to drive and it’s quite open air so quite breezy. instructors were great and fun too, helped to take many photos and videos for memories
It was really cool to drive a go kart in the actual Tokyo traffic. The tour guides were super helpful and made sure of everyone's safety. Tour guides also took a lot of photos for us! All the staff were really nice and helpful!
BUCKET LIST EXPERIENCE. YOU MUST DO THIS BEFORE YOU LEAVE JAPAN!!!! 💯 Highly recommend 2hr ride. It feels like it goes so quick and you get to see lots of Japan. A super fun way to sight see early on to your trip so you can see what you’d like to come back to. I recommend: 2hrs, night time ride (see all the light displays and nightlife etc) and a costume that stands out! Make sure to dress warm as it is super cold at night even in the onesie. Worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY. You feel famous. The tourists and the locals love it. You can interact with the public. Do high and low speeds. And the guide takes heaps of photos and videos of you and your group at every red light. Just book it. You will not regret it
Sooo much fun. The guide gets out at every red light and takes pictures of you. There were only 4 people per tour so he had time to get photos of all of us individually and then he shared it with us at the end of the trip. Definitely would do again. Some of the pikachu onesies/costumes have seen better days they were almost brown lol so I decided to go with Stitch.
Booking this via Klook was a breeze! The company was absolutely amazing! Our tour guide was so friendly and accommodating! He worked so hard to monitor us on the road and also jumping out taking pictures of us at iconic locations around the area! Two hours flew by so fast!
