Full description

This is a 50-minute experience in Tokyo. It is run by 株式会社Tokyo Z 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 Visit to Liberty Walk×TokyoZ merchandise store, Electric kart ride through Tokyo, guide, Photography and Insurance. It does not cover Drinks, tips for the guide, Gopro camera and 360° camera, 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.

株式会社Tokyo Z Kart sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with 株式会社Tokyo Z Kart before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

We had the best time with these girls! They were absolutely amazing and so understanding! They use electric cars which were so much better than petrol ones as there was no smell! They rescheduled us due to the weather and as we had no nanny for the new scheduled time they actually let our kids wait for us in the shop… ALL 8 CRAZY KIDS 😂 We also got lost and one of the girls met us down the road. Honestly they were best people and the experience itself was one of the funnest experiences we did! Our guide was Laura, she was so fun and full of of energy as were all the other girls there Thank you

The crew was very attentive and nice. The tour around the city was great and we always felt safe. They took great pictures along the way and gave us info about the spots we were passing by. The karts are pretty much new and speedy. We have absolutely no complaints, 100% recommend this tour.

It was an amazing experience! The karts were brand new and electric, you don’t get tired after driving unlike gasoline ones. Laura did great job in guiding us through the streets of Shibuya and Harajuku. Definitely recommend!

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The team had such great personalities, super friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable the entire time. They all spoke excellent English which made everything easy and enjoyable, especially for tourists. The karts themselves were also in fantastic condition, modern, clean, and clearly well maintained. You can definitely tell the difference compared to some of the run-down karts you see driving across Shibuya Crossing. This company really stands out for both professionalism and quality. Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Japan and wanting a

This was awesome. The electric karts make such a big difference. There’s no fumes and they’re very fast and a very cushioned ride. Totally worth it!!

An international driving permit issued under the 1949 Geneva convention, together with your home licence, or a Japanese licence. Operators check at check-in and cannot let you drive without it, and there is no refund on the day for a missing permit. Some countries issue the 1968 Vienna permit, which is not accepted; check which yours is before booking.

The duration of the Shibuya Electric Kart Tour ＆ Japanese Car Culture is typically 50 minutes. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the scheduled start time for a smooth check-in. Your guide will meet you at the designated meeting point and ensure the experience runs on schedule while remaining flexible to your pace.
For most experiences, we highly recommend an early morning start. This allows you to avoid the midday heat, bypass the largest crowds, and capture the best lighting for photography. Your guide can advise on the optimal timing based on the season and specific attractions included.
Yes, once your booking is completed via our secure payment gateway, you will receive an instant confirmation email with your tour details, meeting point address, guide's name, and direct contact information. You can also view and manage your booking through your AsiaByLocals account dashboard.

We offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours may be subject to a partial charge depending on the tour type. Weather-related cancellations for outdoor and boat tours are handled on a case-by-case basis, with full refunds or free rebooking offered when safety is a concern.
Most of our experiences are family-friendly and suitable for children of all ages. However, some tours involving extensive walking, water activities, or early morning starts may be better suited for children aged 5 and above. Please check the specific tour description for age recommendations, or contact us for personalized family itinerary advice.
After booking, you will receive detailed meeting point instructions via email. Most tours include complimentary hotel pickup within the central area. For tours without pickup, your confirmation email will include the exact address, Google Maps pin, and your guide's phone number for easy coordination.

You can also pay in multiple currencies — the price is automatically converted to your local currency at checkout.
Yes, all AsiaByLocals guides are licensed professionals who have been rigorously vetted through background checks, skill assessments, and customer reviews. Many hold government-issued tourism licenses, university degrees in history or cultural studies, and have years of experience leading tours for international travelers. Every guide maintains a minimum 4.5-star rating to remain active on our platform.
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.
