Ngl I was kinda scared about doing this because you’re literally driving in the busy streets of Tokyo… but once I was actually on the road it was a lot of fun and turned out to be a highlight of our trip.
You’re following your leader and you have a set of hand signals that will tell you how to get into different formations depending on the traffic/stop lights. At certain parts you are going FAST and need to speed up and slow down quickly. You have to be alert and looking around you obviously but omg the city looks amazing from a go kart. I recommend booking the evening slot because the city starts to light up and it’s so pretty!
The group leader is also in charge of taking pictures of you and the other drivers which is no small feat.
Our leader Luis was great at capturing fun photos and keeping us safe during the drive.
People will wave at you and take pictures from the sidewalk so it’s pretty fun.
Please be a good person and follow the rules and share the road while doing this excursion. If you’re anxious about it like I was, don’t worry it’s gonna be super fun!! Highly recommend!

The team are super amazing and they make it so much fun. They’re cheering you on and making it even more fun - and it was a million percent fun already. You have such a long karting experience - it’s brilliant. You come back on a total high.

The experience was amazing, however, being said that. I was a bit disappointed. Halfway thru my trip, the go Kart I was driving broke down. I had to leave my kart on the side of the road and finish my experience on the back of the instructors Canam. Which dampered my experience a bit. I paid alot of money for the full experience and was not given that chance. My instructor Sho tried to restart the Kart, but unfortunately was unable to. When i got back to the garage the manager was not there for me request a refund and was told to email the manager. Which indid, response was to contact the company I made the reservation with and the manager will then look into the issue and give me the refund. I would like to request a refund. Thank you

Monkey kart was on the top of the list of things to do in Tokyo, when my son and I recently visited May, 2024! Don't skip doing this as it was an absolute blast and our tour guide was simply the best (Jerome). We were lucky to be a small group of just three and we zoomed through the streets of Asakusa and Akihabara. Along the way, we stopped in front of the sumo arena, Jerome took some shots there and a little further along we saw an actual sumo, on a bike and with flowers in hand! Could not take a picture of this but certainly won't forget the image! Jerome took loads of pictures all along our route, while pointing out all the attractions, and speeding along the course to the delight (cheers and waves) of locals and tourists along the way. This was way too much fun, and a terrific way to spend our last day in Tokyo. Shout out to Jerome, Hanna and everyone at Monkey kart, all of you are doing a great job there, and Dante & I highly recommend.

I saw this originally on TikTok and was interested in doing it. The process of getting your IDP was super easy and simple, just make sure you get it in the country in which your Driver's License is from.
We were nervous when we showed up and getting started in our go kart since Japan drives on the left side of the road, and we were very exposed to everything. But, after the first 10 minutes, you start to loosen up and really enjoy yourself. The tour takes you out in groups of 6 and we were lucky to get Kevin as our tour guide. We were at the back of the group for the majority of the tour, but Kevin makes sure to switch everyone around so each person gets a chance at being in the front and getting their pictures. It was such a unique and once in a lifetime experience.
We were worried that we would get cut off by taxis or even intimidated by trucks, but all the local drivers are respectful and the locals even wave to you as you go by on the street. Kevin took us in a really large loop through Akihabara, Ueno, and Asakusa. He also took us on a secret route since we were fast and got to drive by the Tokyo Sky Tree, which we have an incredible picture in front of and its our favorite from the trip. This will seem scary at first, but it is truly a MUST in Tokyo.

Couldn't wait to do this as I missed out on doing this the first trip to Japan. Beautiful day for it & loved how fast the karts can actually go! Our guide was very efficient & made sure we were all safe on the tour itself. Easy to find location to commence & I took my own costume, however they provide a room full of items you can wear for the go kart. Highly recommend to also get to drive the streets of Akihabara!
