This Street Kart Experience was really fun, and felt like a unique thing to do in Osaka. I did this with my 70 year old dad—we really enjoyed it. We had a really good guide who explained everything well and was super patient and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful experience for our first time in Osaka, and first trip to Japan!

I booked this in advance of our trip, and briefly saw some going round Tokyo when we were there. I was beginning to have my doubts, and also read that a lot of locals don't like it but I have to say this was a really good experience, and the reception on the streets was really good. In a few areas of Osaka we were able to go flat to the floor, and otherwise it was a good way of seeing and getting to know the city - especially with the neon lit up for the evening session. Our guide Sharon was very good and took lots of photos which were sent to our phones after the event. I was positioned at the back to begin with and as the tour went on we progressed to the front so that everyone had a good opportunity for photos. For a while was concerned about a small van that was following us and that he may want to get past, but he was stuck there and following our every turn. It took a while for me to realise he was there to ensure the safety of the group! :D Spend the money and do it!

Had a great time although I was a little nervous before we went out on the roads. Arthur was great at instructing and was easy to follow. there were 4 of us in our group which made it quite nice with the time in front split between us. Didn’t imagine we’d go 60kph on the carriage way which was an adrenaline boost! Read reviews on karts in Osaka against Tokyo and it didn’t disappoint so pleased we got to do it!!
