      Sooo much fun!! Literally the best part of our trip! Yuta was our guide and he had so much energy and made the experience even more memorable! Same with the man who helped us book in! Shinagawa track was great! It wasn't a heavy flow of traffic and you got to see the grand Tokyo Tower! Perfect course in my opinion. It was also the right amount of time! 1 hour was perfect!

      Must-do activity in Tokyo!!!
      Made a last-minute booking for 6 people and they were able to accommodate us for a 1-hour tour. Super fun activity with the family! Our tour guide Yuta kept us safe the whole way and took great pictures! Onesies, gloves, and sunglasses are offered at no additional cost, and they're cleaned after each tour.

      Just. Freaking. Awesome.
      That's it! Just. Freaking. Awesome. Want to try something different? Here's your chance! Forget about riding in style through Ginza, do it in a Kart, dressed up like Mario. That oughta turn heads!! A couple of recommendations: -Follow the lead of the guide, at all times. They know better and traffic can be daunting. -Wear a mask. You will be low to the ground and fumes from other vehicles may cause some breathing problems. Other than that, dress up, jump in the kart and have fun!

      Amazing experience- Tokyo by night
      Absolutely amazing experience. Our tour guide Adam was fantastic and a always so calm and reassuring. He a always kept an eye out on us! We went through some amazing landmarks and seeing it lit up in the night was phenomenal. You also need to make sure to have your international driving permits!! Would recommend this to anyone!

      So much fun!
      We did the 2 hour Asakusa option and had such a fun time! You don't learn much but it's such a different thing to do and was great to see a couple of places we hadn't got to yet. I managed to get a Pikachu costume too! Make sure you wrap up because as the sun goes down it gets pretty cold.

      Great Tour
      I can't say enough about this tour. I spent 2 weeks traveling Asia, and this was the highlight for me. I felt safe the whole time, but you have to be comfortable with driving. 12 inches off the ground. With Tokyo traffic in the next lane. Fortunately, Tokyo drivers respect lanes and traffic laws, so it was great!

      Get Your International Driver's License and Get Ready to Ride
      If you are looking for a unique, thrillin, adrenaline-rush Tokyo adventure then you simply MUST get your international driving permit and visit StreetKart Shinagawa. We had the amazing Adam from Australia (AAA) as our "private guide" (only 2 of us) and zipped through the streets from Shinagawa to Harajuku to Roppongi and Minato City, even over the rainbow bridge (YIKES!!!) to Odaiba!!! Adam had us roaring with laughter along the way with his stories, knowledge of the city and all things Japan! Don't forget your hat, gloves and mittens because these go-karts take you through the city in costume at speeds of up to 65 km! This is not for little kids or the feint of heart but was loads of fun and would definitely do it again!

      Great fun, Ken was an engaging and knowledgeable guide, who was always keeping us safe through the traffic and rain, the included costumes and rainwear made the afternoon fun despite the conditions. Just remember to have an international driving permit.

    I went with my boyfriend to the shinagawa shop, the staff were exceptional from reception to the on hand team assisting with photos and kart introductions.

    What I would say is… whilst Shinagawa route was a lot of fun I think Shibuya or the Bay route would’ve been better. I wanted the Tokyo Bay circuit but had a hiccup making us arrive a day later (we missed it), I used messenger to speak to the staff and they promptly assisted me with time slots available for each district.

    To help with calculations, Shinagawa 24th March was ¥29000 ($291.00) (2 people for the morning session)

    I strongly recommend the adventure! Good speeds and strangely everyone on the streets waves to you… seriously, it’s the funniest thing.

    I dressed as an otter (don’t ask me why) and my bf was Charizard, duuh, Pokemon.

    One word ...outstanding!! The most thrilling experience ever, coupled with a fantastic professional team who were always smiling, made this the most memorable event of our japan trip. 10 stars to street go cart and to our amazing leader Yusuke ,who went out of the way to include Shibuya area in our itinerary at no extra cost which took the tour time from 1 hour to 2.15 hours at no extra cost !! Unbelievable! Take a bow gentlemen

    Great time with Street Kart! There are lots of other companies doing the same, but I decided to stick with these guys, the original and most recommended provider. My guide, Yuta, was super friendly and a great host. We reserved on a last minute, same day basis so this was the only circuit available among the multiple options around the city. Pros and cons. I had originally wanted the big lights of Shibuya, but understand the congestion on that route results in slow moving. The Shinagawa route wasn’t nearly as scenic, except the spectacular Tokyo Tower, but what we gave up on views was compensated by the driving experience: we got good stretches where we were able to speed up and go at 30-50 KM per hour, a nice rush. So choose what you want most: bright city lights vs. speed (and reserve at least a couple of days in advance)!

    Great time! The guides were attentive, friendly, and understanding. Some in our group were very nervous and they took the time before and during the drive to be sure they were safe and comfortable. They even took photos of us and sent them to us for free. Gloves and costumes were included in the price. Best view on our drive was the Tokyo Tower. Expect a bumpy ride as the cars do not have shock absorbers.

    Just unbelievable that you can drive a go-kart through city centre traffic in Tokyo! This was the best way to see the sights of Tokyo and we drove over the Shibuya crossing. It was crazy but such good fun.

    We had booked the 3 hour trip in advance but it was torrential rain on that day so when we arrived at the shop, they re-scheduled us to the last day of our trip. So glad we did as we had great weather and got some amazing photos. Your tour guide takes loads of photos so you can concentrate on driving and waving to the crowds.

    The shop is not that easy to find as it is up a back lane behind the 7 - 11, so look out for it. We booked it throughTripadvisor. Don't forget your international Driving licence.

    Booking this tour was very easy prior to our trip through Facebook Messenger and each course and conditions were thoroughly explained including directions to get to the place in Shinagawa. Our 3 hour tour included picking our costumes (which was part of the package) thorough instruction and demonstration of all safety procedures and how to operate the kart and a break in between with tea and coffee. Our guide Rabie was a great laugh and instructor and was very helpful, as well as giving us recommendations of the places that we drove by and always made sure we were safe and together as a group. As we are not allowed to use phones during the tour or while driving, Rabie made sure to take plenty of photos for us. Would 100% recommend the 3 hour tour as it goes by quite quickly and make sure you organise an international driving licence prior to your holiday as you won’t be able to drive or participate without it.

    THIS WAS AMAZING! Plus we had an awesome tour guide, I believe his name was Rabie. If you can somehow request him on the day that you go to this tour, he won't disappoint. He was able to provide us with so many pictures, from his own phone, and later shared with our whole group. This tour itself allowed us to see the streets of Tokyo, we went during the morning session which allowed us awesome lighting. Very organized driving, they tour guides made us feel safe on the streets. And it really felt like a Real Life Mariokart game, just driving the streets and feeling the wind pass by, especially when we floor the gokart to full speed on Rainbow Bridge, which was my favorite. What a rush! We were able to travel with our whole group (group of 6), which pretty much made it like a private tour. There was one stop location, that gave us a view of rainbow bridge. They were able to drive us through many iconic places such as Tokyo Tower, and the famous Shibuya Crossing. Highly recommend this tour! Book it!
