The best experience in Japan.
Very nice Tour through Shinjuku and Shibuya. The carts are new, the whole experience felt very safe. We had the guide in a leading van and a van behind our group.
A super fun way to experience the city! We were a group of 7 adults, all of varying ages and everyone had a fantastic time. The operators were fantastic to deal with. Would recommend!
Such an exhilarating experience highly recommended 10/10 definitely will rebook on our 2nd trip very safe and coordinated
Great time would Do it again loved the time and views of the city!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!! No else more to say just try it out
The tour operator did a very concise and clear safety orientation. I really appreciated their advice. We had so much fun. Just a little tip: it’s windy so wear gloves.
We had an absolute blast hurtling through the streets of Tokyo. Don't think just go do it. There was a great emphasis on safety but not to much that it was a hinder our enjoyment and at no time was I nervous, even when my cart stalled at one set of lights. I cannot recommend Japan cart highly enough. It's was a great experience, looking like a cartoon character driving through this busy busy metropolis what's not to love.
Safe and fun ride, with proper instructions at the start, one person riding in the front of the group and one at the end. It was the highlight of the day for my sons! Plus they took lots of photos and gave us photos in the end.
My sister and I did the experience and had a great time. The go carts were safe and the tour guide was excellent and driving through Shibuya crossing was amazing
This is a must activity when visiting Japan. My brothers and I had a blast. Make sure you get your international drivers permit.
