My group of 10 and I had such a blast! The hosts were MORE than accommodating for my large group so that we could all go together. Our guides were awesome and 10 out of 10 recommend!
Hi G8750SJamyg, Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear that your group of 10 had such a blast with us. Large groups require extra coordination, so we’re especially happy that our team could help accommodate everyone and make it possible for you all to enjoy the tour together. It’s also great to hear that you felt our guides were awesome and that you would recommend the experience 10 out of 10. That means a lot to the whole team. Thank you again for choosing us for your Tokyo go-kart adventure. We hope the experience became a special memory for your entire group, and we would be very happy to welcome you all again in the future! Warm regards, Kira-Kira Tokyo Tours
This was hands down one of the best parts of our trip! I normally don't really like GoKarts because you're just driving in a circle on a racetrack, but this was amazing! It was crazy seeing the city, driving among the cars and the guide made it so fun with the route we took, music he played and the constant photos he took! We had over 300 photos! Must do!
Hi Deandra_C, Thank you so much for your amazing 5-star review and for calling our Tokyo go-kart tour a “must do”! We’re especially happy to hear that this became one of the best parts of your trip, even though you normally don’t really like go-karts. This experience is very different from simply driving around a racetrack — being out in the city, driving through real Tokyo streets, and seeing areas like Shibuya Crossing and Tokyo Tower from a go-kart creates a completely different kind of excitement. We’re also delighted that you enjoyed the route, the music, and all the photos your guide took during the tour. Over 300 photos is truly a wonderful memory collection from your Tokyo adventure! Thank you again for choosing us. We hope those photos and memories stay with you for a long time, and we would be honored to welcome you back for another unforgettable ride in Tokyo! Warm regards, Kira-Kira Tokyo Tours
Total incompetence from the staff from the get-go. The group ahead of us had to spend nearly 20 minutes waiting for their group leader try to start a malfunctioning lead cart — rather than him simply swapping it out — while exhaust fumes built up inside the enclosed space. People were choking and eyes were watering. An unhealthy 20 minutes I’ll never get back. The staff’s only apparent priority was collecting payment and getting bodies on carts. We were rushed through signing a waiver with no real explanation of what we were agreeing to. To make it worse, the racing suit I wore was returned directly to the rack — unwashed. That means every suit on that rack has been worn by prior customers without being laundered. A hygiene problem they don’t seem concerned about. Given the price — which was steep — there is simply no excuse for any of this. Save your money. There are better go-kart operations out there, likely at a fraction of the cost.
Hi Renier_P, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sincerely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We take comments regarding vehicle condition, exhaust fumes, waiting time, safety explanations, and costume hygiene very seriously. This is not the standard of experience we aim to provide, and we will review the details of that day carefully with our team. Because public-road go-kart tours require both safety and timing management, our staff must sometimes make quick operational decisions. However, your comments make it clear that we should have communicated more clearly and handled the situation more smoothly. We also understand your concern regarding the waiver explanation and costume handling. We will use your feedback to improve our briefing process, guest communication, and operational checks so that future guests feel more comfortable, informed, and properly cared for. We apologize again that your visit left you disappointed. Your feedback is important to us and will be taken seriously as we continue improving our service. Warm regards, Kira-Kira Tokyo Tours
So much fun! Ken was an awesome guide and took great pictures. Karts were fast and fun with easy controls. Lots of costumes to choose from as well. 10/10 would do again
Hi Liam_F, Thank you so much for your fantastic 5-star review and 10/10 recommendation! We’re thrilled to hear that you had so much fun on your Tokyo go-kart adventure. Ken will be delighted to know that you enjoyed his guidance and the photos he captured during your ride. It is also wonderful to hear that you found the karts fast, fun, and easy to control, and that the selection of costumes added even more enjoyment to the experience. Your words, “would do again,” are one of the greatest compliments we could receive. We would be very happy to welcome you back for another exciting ride through Tokyo on your next visit! Warm regards, Kira-Kira Tokyo Tours

Hi Zohra_B, Thank you so much for your incredible 5-star review and your wonderful 10/10 rating!

We’re honored that this became such a once-in-a-lifetime experience for you — and even more touched that you would do it again every time you visit Tokyo. Thank you again for choosing us. We would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back for another unforgettable ride on your next trip to Japan! Warm regards, Kira-Kira Tokyo Tours
Bring eye protection as none is provided. Other than that my son and i enjoyed our ride. Evening time is the best time to ride.

If you are debating about trying this experience, take the plunge as it is worth it. The pictures show the look on your face and you get to see the looks of all the pedestrians wishing they could be you.
Hi D_R, Thank you so much for your fantastic 5-star review! We love how you described the experience — “take the plunge” is exactly the spirit of our Tokyo go-kart tour.

Your recommendation will surely encourage future travelers who are still deciding whether to try this unique Tokyo activity. We hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable ride!

I did the late night ride and it was the best part of my trip! We hit high speeds and got to go through most Tokyo landmarks - my fav part was going through shibuya crossing!
Hi Tehmeena_A, Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear that our late night Tokyo go-kart tour became the best part of your trip and even a bucket list experience. Driving through Tokyo at night, passing iconic landmarks and experiencing Shibuya Crossing from a go-kart, is truly one of the most unique and exciting ways to see the city. We’re so happy you enjoyed the speed, the atmosphere, and the unforgettable night views. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you again for another amazing Tokyo adventure! Warm regards, Kira-Kira Tokyo Tours
This was super fun ! We were zooming through shibuya and our instructor, Ken, made it SUPER entertaining. He was funny and took so many wonderful pictures. The night tour was great too because there was less traffic ! Would 100000% do this again. Definitely worth the money. The costumes made it extra fun too ! Make sure you ask for Ken !!!!!
Hi Alisya_B, Thank you so much for your incredible 5-star review! This is Ken, and I personally had the pleasure of guiding your group that night. Honestly, your group of three was unforgettable for me as well. Each of you had truly impressive driving skills — safe, confident, and smooth, yet fast enough to fully enjoy the excitement of the Tokyo night ride. Watching you all drive through Shibuya with such energy made the tour a very special memory for me too. And yes, the cheering inside the tunnel… let’s just say that was part of the fun! Haha. I’m also very happy you enjoyed the photos, the costumes, the lighter traffic during the night tour, and the overall atmosphere. Driving through Tokyo at night is truly one of the most exciting ways to experience the city. The only thing that remains slightly on my mind is that one of the three karts did not seem to respond quite as well as the others that evening. Although our vehicles are regularly checked and maintained, go-karts can sometimes be very delicate machines, and on that day, I felt that one kart may not have fully matched the excellent driving skills of your group. Next time you visit us — whether it is 3, 4, 5, or 6 of you — we will do our very best to provide an even better experience with even better-performing karts. Thank you again for making that night so memorable. I would be truly honored to welcome you back anytime for another unforgettable Tokyo go-kart adventure! Warm regards, Ken Kira-Kira Tokyo Tours
