      FANTASTIC!!!
      This was SO MUCH FUN! After touring around Japan and China for almost three weeks, this remains as one of the best experiences of the whole trip! Manuel was our guide and he had great energy and showed us what to do during our ride. There's an instructional video to watch right after you choose your character-costume for the ride, then, you're off to drive. My advice: don't pick the one with the horn on the hood that will flop over your eyes while driving. This did not distract from a great experience. We drove through the streets of Tokyo, including a couple of passes through Shibuya Crossing. FUN!!! The tour was the perfect length and it was fun driving right in there with the Tokyo traffic and I never once felt unsafe. The guide took lots of photos and shared them by AirDrop afterword, so don't waste time trying to take photos while driving. They tell you not to do that anyway. I had my gas pedal floored most of the time in order to keep up; like Manuel; said, you'll probably be full gas or full brake most of the time. It was pretty cool to be one of the people other tourists are photographing. Now, that's being on the right side of the experience - and camera!

      A Must-Do Open-Air Streetcar Experience in Shibuya!
      During my trip from Los Angeles to Shibuya, I decided to ride the popular open-air streetcar I found on TripAdvisor. It was an absolutely fantastic experience! The streetcar was comfortable, allowing me to relax and enjoy the views of Shibuya's bustling streets. The open-air design made the experience even more enjoyable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. This is a perfect way to take in the sights of Shibuya, especially for first-time visitors. I highly recommend it and will definitely ride again next time I'm in Shibuya. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

      Reccomend!
      What an amazing experience! I strongly recommend it. If you go at night, you can see the beautiful nightlife around Shibuya. The guides were extremely fun, experienced, professional and made the experience much more enjoyable than I expected. Once you're here, a drive around Tokyo is a must. I would definitely do it again and recommend it.

      Need to get a better booking system
      Tried to book Street Karting in March via Facebook messenger and said that there was a slot available in Shibuya for two days at 2pm so I said I wanted to take on the first day only to get a response several hours later to say that the slots had already gone and told me to try another location which wasn’t convenient for me. They then went on to say that the Shibuya location was fully booked for a month and asked if I was interested in booking a slot for April but being as I was on the last few days of my holiday that wasnt going to happen. Was such a waste of buying an international drivers license. Would not recommend.

      Fun way to see Tokyo
      Fun experience. We had more pictures taken of us by the locals than we took pictures of ourselves. Taku was our guide and he was great. Lots of pictures taken that were shared at the end of the trip.

      Exhilarating experience on streets of Tokyo
      Highly recommend for your next visit to Tokyo. I went with my husband, and was a bit nervous about driving a go kart on streets in a foreign country; as I’d never driven overseas before. But after the safety briefing and once you get on the road, you’ll have a great time - I enjoyed it even more than I was expecting! My tips are to go at night when the city is lit up, and make sure you bring your passport and international drivers permit.

      This experience does not disappoint. We had the lovely Ayaz as our guide and he made us feel so comfortable and safe while having the absolute time of our life's. We didn't take our phones with us as Ayaz took tons of photos which he then shared with us and even gave us a printed off one too! Would highly recommend to anyone going to Tokyo. The best way to see the city!

    First off, the experience of driving a go-kart around town was so much fun. I would recommend doing it 100%. As for the company we went with, Street Kart, I felt it could be better for the following reasons: 1.) There was one guide in the front who would take pictures of you with his phone. This is good and the pictures were mostly of the people right behind him, but I saw a different company who had a guide AND a dedicated person on a motorcycle taking pictures of the whole group. I think I would've liked to have a dedicated person taking pictures. 2.) The guide did not really participate in the fun in that he did not dress up or get us pumped up or excited. The other company I mentioned in #1 seemed to have a very pumped up guide who dressed up with the whole group. They seemingly had more fun because everyone participated in the silliness. And that group participation aspect is a big part of the fun. 3.) The costume selection was just OK. Again, that other company I mentioned seemed to have better costumes from what I saw of their groups. For the positives of Street Kart, 1.) Instructions were very clear. 2.) The guide always had an eye on us. 3.) They provided pictures after the experience via iPhone quickly after. Tip: They count you off to determine if you're going to be on the left or right side of the line when you park side by side. I recommend being on the left side (odd number) so that oncoming traffic isn't right next to you.

    Review: Official Street Go-Kart in Shibuya
    Visiting Shibuya and trying out the Official Street Go-Kart was an exhilarating experience that I’ll never forget! Here’s my breakdown of the adventure:

    The Experience
    Driving a go-kart through the bustling streets of Shibuya felt surreal. The thrill of being part of the city's vibrant atmosphere while cruising in a kart is unmatched. It’s like being in a video game, but in real life! The route takes you past iconic landmarks, giving you a unique perspective of Tokyo.

    Costume Fun
    One of the highlights was the opportunity to dress up in fun costumes! From superheroes to classic characters, it added a playful touch to the whole adventure. It also made the experience even more memorable for photos and videos.

    Safety and Organization
    The staff was professional and thorough with safety instructions. They ensured we were comfortable driving the karts and understood the traffic rules. The go-karts were well-maintained, and the guides were friendly, ensuring a smooth and safe journey throughout.

    What I Loved Most
    The unique chance to drive a go-kart in a city like Tokyo.
    The feeling of freedom as I cruised past skyscrapers and neon lights.
    The cheerful interaction with locals and tourists who waved and smiled as we passed.
    Things to Consider
    An international driving permit (IDP) is required, so prepare that in advance.
    Traffic can get busy, so it’s essential to stay attentive and follow the guide’s lead.
    It’s more fun with a group, but solo riders will enjoy it too.
    Overall Rating: 4.8/5
    This was a one-of-a-kind experience that combines sightseeing, adventure, and a touch of whimsy. Whether you're a tourist or a local looking for a fun activity, the Official Street Go-Kart in Shibuya is a must-try! 🌟

    Highly recommended activity. Not for everyone's budget but it gives you the opportunity to see Tokyo from a perspective that other tourists won't be able to. In addition, the itinerary crosses such emblematic places as the Shibuya or Akiba crossing.

    Our guide was Salah and he turned out to be a very nice guy and clear in his explanations. Good guide.

    If I had to make a complaint it would be that it was short (although between initial procedures, explanations and the tour it was about 2 hours) but it is highly recommended.

    It can be overwhelming at first with so many rules and driving on the opposite side to what you usually do, but if you usually do it in your country and can afford it, I 100% recommend this activity.

    I recently had a wonderful experience with Street Kart. The team provided a thorough explanation of the guidelines and how to drive the kart, ensuring everyone felt comfortable before hitting the track. Our tour guide, Salah, was exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable, with a great sense of humor that made the experience even more enjoyable. He consistently checked on the group's safety throughout the drive and took many photos when we were at stop lights, which was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Street Kart for anyone looking for an exciting go kart experience.

    Daniel was so great! Took us through Shibuya crossing 3 times! Took loads of photos and had a great time. Would recommend sunset time so you can see the city in day and when the lights come on - very cool! About a 45 minute drive. Only 3 of us. Thanks Daniel.

    Street Kart is such a fun experience! They made the reservation process smooth and they explain everything thoroughly so you feel safe and confident while you're driving. The Shibuya Course feels like such a great value, especially at night, as you're guided through multiple passthrough's of iconic Shibuya Crossing. Lots of people were also very friendly and waved as we passed by on the karts. 10/10 would do again!

    Special shout out to our guide Ayaz! He was very friendly and made sure we were all safe and having fun. He took lots of photos of us and we were able to get them Airdropped once we returned! Thank you man!

    We had an absolutely incredible time street karting around Tokyo with Eric from Street Kart Japan! He took us through Shibuya, Harajuku, and we even got to loop around the iconic Shibuya Crossing twice – an experience we’ll never forget. Eric was super professional, friendly, and ensured we felt safe while having an absolute blast. His enthusiasm and knowledge of the area made the tour even more enjoyable. If you’re in Tokyo and looking for a fun, unique way to explore the city, I can’t recommend Eric and Street Kart Japan enough. Thanks for an unforgettable adventure!

    We booked the Shibuya tour and the route was great. Going through the scramble at sunset on a Saturday evening was unforgettable, one of the best ways to see the city lights.
    Our tour guide Daniel was fantastic, he was funny and explained the process very well. He took plenty of photos for us all and made sure everyone got to travel at the front of the group.
    Would absolutely do it again.

    It’s a great experience if you are new to Tokyo. If you plan on doing this, make sure you have translated copies of your drivers license from your language translated to Japanese. From there, there is a lot of options for costumes and you get free pictures from the tour guide. I recommend the action camera rental for 2000 yen if you want a full video of your driving experience. It’s all worth the expense! Definitely give it a go!

    Driving a go kart through Shibuya Scramble crossing just like Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift! Unforgettable experience. I was grinning from ear to ear the entire time! Felt very safe, no taxis or cars or motorcycles cut us off; we rode as a group of 6. The tour leader’s hand-signs were very clear and we could even hear him at some stops (he’s asking us to pose for pictures). Max speed we got to was 50km/h (karts have a speedometer). We were 3 couples and each couple had 1/3 of the time to be in the lead, then middle, then rear of the group. Alexis tour guide was amazing at timing the traffic lights so no one was left behind, his head was on a swivel making sure our group was good and together. Would ride again on a different route (for new experience). Cost was $176 USD for 2 drivers. Just need passport & International Drivers License. Facebook Messenger communication with company was very speedy & clear. 5-Stars overall!
