Located in Asakusa district, Tokyo, Sensoji Temple, also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple, is Tokyo's oldest temple and a sacred spot across Japan, drawing more than 30 million visitors each year. According to legend, over 1,400 years ago during the Edo period, two brothers discovered a statue of Kannon, the Buddhist goddess of mercy, while fishing in the Sumida River. No matter how many times they returned the statue to the water, it kept coming back to them. That's why Sensoji Temple was built nearby in 645, making it the oldest temple in Tokyo and a Shinto shrine dedicated to Kannon. Throughout the year, the temple grounds host exciting events like the Sanja Matsuri festival in May, the Asakusa Samba Carnival in August, and the traditional Hagoita Market, where decorative paddles are sold for a fun game called hanetsuki.

absolutely loved it! I wanna do it again ! Staff super cool and friendly , they offer u a go pro for a little extra charge if you want record your driving in a video, I took my own n borrowed their tripod clip thing. The guide takes pics n video of you through out. It’s very safe. And you go through the scramble a couple of times . it’s a really good tour we drove past Takeshita street and Parco mall (which I hadn’t seen before) so that was nice. The look on pedestrian faces and pple waving to you makes you feel like a super cool person! loved every second from check in through to the end professional friendly staff. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

WOW … this was fun!! Booked the 7pm time slot as wanted to witness Shubuya crossing at night. Definitely a bucket list experience and our very informative, entertaining and cool cat guide XAVIAN was fantastic. He took plenty of pictures of the group while on the route and made us feel very safe weaving through the Tokyo traffic with his clear instructions. Don’t miss this experience if you are staying in Tokyo and hopefully you get XAVIAN as your guide.

The guide was very accommodating… and he made sure we got pics every chance we could get 🥹 he also made sure everyone was feeling OK (like mentally lol) throughout… and gave reminders on what to do (like lining up closer so we dont get left behind) … their whole team seemed to have fun doing the tour LOL the vibes was ✨✨✨ also, they gave snacks and coffee … and we were only 4 ppl in our group — so I felt rlly safe and looked-after. Honestly so glad we went with this instead of the other go kart companies 🌻 also they have a tip box! please leave some (we left 2k yen) — the guide defo deserved it … REMINDER: because the kart is low on the ground, expect some bumps in the ride …

Absolutely one of the highlights of my trip to Tokyo! Driving through the city in a go-kart was such a unique and unforgettable experience. The route was amazing, and seeing Tokyo from this perspective was unlike anything I’ve ever done.
The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable from start to finish. The briefing was clear, the karts were easy to drive, and the whole experience was well organised. They also kept the group together and made it fun the entire time.
If you’re looking for something exciting and different to do in Tokyo, I can’t recommend this enough. It was an incredible experience that I’ll be talking about for years. Definitely worth every minute—5 stars!

What an experience we had! Instructions were clear and our guide was awesome! It was all positive experience and great memories. This is a must activity if you are visiting Japan. Their moped karts are sick and clean, good for pictures. They also provide chest mount phone holder so you dont have buy to dont need to buy your own.

Tokyo at a glance
Quick facts about Tokyo
General info
What to know before visiting Tokyo
Quick snapshot of Tokyo and what draws visitors
Tokyo’s busiest bookings are for observation decks, museums and theme parks, and demand peaks and ebbs noticeably through the year. Klook data shows a clear spring surge in interest while late summer and early autumn see much lower booking activity, shaping how experiences and crowds move across the city.
When to visit for crowds and prices
According to Klook booking data, April is the peak month for demand while August and September sit at the trough of visitor bookings. Prices on Klook drift through the year: they’re typically highest in September and tend to be lower around November and December. If you want smaller crowds and generally lower prices, late summer into early autumn is a quieter window; for the lively, peak-season atmosphere go in April when demand is strongest, though note prices are not at their lowest then.
Tips for travellers from the United States
Most travellers from the United States tend to book about eleven days in advance, with many purchases still possible a day before travel and a noticeable share booked earlier. If you’re planning a trip in April (the busiest month), try to lock in key experiences a couple of weeks ahead; for off-peak months you can be more flexible and still find good options. Use Klook to compare offerings across observation decks, museums and parks and secure your preferred time slots without needing to over-plan.
