Full description

This is a 1-hour experience in Tokyo, built around Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station. It is run by NEO TOKYO KART, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Tokyo is the largest city on earth by metropolitan population and it is best seen as a set of neighbourhoods on the Yamanote loop line rather than one place. Asakusa has Senso-ji, the city's oldest temple, and Nakamise's shopping lane; Shibuya has the scramble crossing and Shinjuku the bars of Golden Gai and Omoide Yokocho; Harajuku is Takeshita Street and Meiji Shrine's forest; Akihabara is electronics and anime; Ginza is department stores and sushi counters. Everything runs on time and the last trains are around midnight. Cash still matters in small restaurants, an IC card covers every train and bus, and tipping is not done anywhere.

The price covers 60 minutes Go Kart experience, staff, Japanese-speaking staff, Insurance and Costume. It does not cover Hotel pickup and drop-off and Other personal expenses, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Japan, 〒104-0041 Tokyo, Chuo City, Shintomi, 1-chōme−3−２ 新富町一丁目ビル. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with NEO TOKYO KART before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

this tour takes you through the nice parts of Tokyo. These streets are long and flat ensuring you can go full speed and have a smoother ride. The Shibuya tour I've done before and it was extremely slow and stop/go the whole time. This is by far the best one and the sights are better. thank you Patrick!

Lots of fun - we ended up in a small group of 4 hurtling through the streets of Ginza & under the Tokyo Tower Our support crew of 2 guided us very safely around Tokyo Lots of pics were taken by our guide that he shared with us at the end Very well organised We decided to do the night experience & seeing the Tokyo Tower all lit up was a bonus Great night!

Awesome time with Yusuke, Patrick and Yayu. You really do get to play real life Mario kart in the streets of Tokyo. I had such a blast I'm going to sign up with the one in shibuya next!

I had an awesome Go Karting experience with Patrick. He drove me around the city and pointed out all kinds of cool monuments and buildings, sharing the history behind them as we went. He also recommended a bunch of places to check out while I’m in Tokyo, which was a huge bonus. Patrick is super knowledgeable, really easy to talk to, and just an overall easy-going guy. It was fun chatting with him about Tokyo’s culture and lifestyle. I’d definitely recommend him as a guide!

Myself and my partner were looking forward to this activity as soon as we booked for Japan! It did not disappoint, our guide was 10/10 (Patrick) made it fun for us and took lots of good photos! Definitely worth the money in our opinion. We did the night tour because we wanted to see Tokyo at night and personally I think night felt better than day (we haven’t experienced day but felt more surreal) if you are thinking about going definitely do it everyone on the team is so friendly too!

The price does not cover hotel pickup and drop-off and other personal expenses. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
An international driving permit issued under the 1949 Geneva convention, together with your home licence, or a Japanese licence.

We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Late March to early April for cherry blossom, or late October to early December for autumn colour and the clearest skies. Contrary to most advice, October is Tokyo's wettest month (234.8 mm), not the June rainy season. Full month-by-month figures are in our best time to visit Tokyo guide.
Get a Suica or Pasmo IC card and budget ¥1,000–¥1,400 a day. Do not buy a JR Pass for a Tokyo-only trip — it costs ¥50,000 and excludes Tokyo Metro and Toei entirely. Note JR East raised Tokyo fares on 14 March 2026, so Metro is now cheaper than JR on several routes. See getting around Tokyo.
Shibuya Sky releases tickets only 14 days ahead at 00:00 JST — it cannot be booked months in advance. teamLab Borderless tickets drop at 12:00 JST on the 1st of each month. Our 3-day Tokyo itinerary lists every booking deadline.
Yes — a Japanese licence or an International Driving Permit issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention. 1968 Vienna Convention permits are not valid in Japan. Licences from Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Monaco and Taiwan need an official JAF translation instead. Arrange it before you fly; see the Tokyo go-kart guide.
Yes — the highway bus from Busta Shinjuku to Kawaguchiko takes about 1h 45m for ¥2,200. But manage expectations: Fuji is visible on 84% of December mornings and only 23% of July mornings, and cloud builds through the day, so go early. Details in our Mount Fuji day trip guide.
Edomae sushi (the Tokyo Bay style, where curing began as a workaround for having no refrigeration), monjayaki — a runny griddle dish unique to Tokyo with 80+ specialists on Tsukishima's Monja Street — and soba. Also worth knowing: Tsukiji Outer Market never closed; only the wholesale auction moved to Toyosu. See the Tokyo food guide.
The crossing itself takes about ninety seconds. What makes it worth an evening is one street back — Nonbei Yokocho, a lantern-lit alley of tiny bars a minute away that almost nobody who photographs the scramble walks into. Note street drinking is banned in the area 18:00–05:00 year-round, though the ordinance carries no fine. See the Shibuya Crossing guide.
Yes, some. Japan's cashless ratio reached 58% in 2025, so over 40% of payments are still cash — and card refusal is most likely at small independent izakaya, ramen ticket machines and market stalls. Tipping is not expected anywhere.
