Good fun.

It was good fun. The staff encouraged us to dress up and have fun poses for the many photos that they took. Seeing the different parts of Tokyo was pretty cool. I suggest going at night. One hour was enough.

Letsa goooo

Well this experience was a real hoot! For some reason driving for two hours around amongst the traffic of a major city at night in a go-kart dressed as a Toy Story figure seemed valid as well as safe!? The time flew along with us hurtling up and down busy streets with locals and tourists alike waving and taking photos. Cars didn't seem perturbed by our group either, sometimes actually winding down their windows and having a chitchat at the lights. Special shout out to Sam the tour guide who led us well and focussed on the wellbeing of every individual and the group as a whole with care and caution. Thoroughly recommend for a unique, fun, random evening activity!!

A must do! Well worth it.

Absolutely brilliant! So much fun and really funny to wave at people as you pull up to a red light b I was a little nervous to start as I’d never driven a go kart. But it was so easy and our group was lead by Khan who was amazing at checking in on us all and keeping us all together. He was really easy to follow which made me feel super safe. And what a fun guy! He took so many pictures for us and I absolutely love all of them. Thank you so much Khan for making this the highlight of our entire Japan trip! I wish we could do it all again and I cannot rate this highly enough.
