SOOO much fun! Did the go karting with my brother, and we both couldn’t stop laughing the whole time. Our guide Yuji was coool and kept checking if we were feeling safe. The best bit was zooming past people in costumes (felt a bit like a parade lol). Only thing, wish the helmets weren’t so tight. Def worth it!!

Just wow. Went solo and met the friendliest bunch of randoms ever. Our instructor, Hiro, was super chill and had the patience of a saint (I stalled at least 4 times). It’s not for nervous drivers but the thrill is EPIC. You’ll get funny looks from locals but it’s all part of the experience, right?

Took my girlfriend for the go kart tour as a surprise—she LOVED IT. Shinjuku at night is unreal, all those neon signs and you feel like you’re in a movie. Guide Riko was a LEGEND, took group photos and showed us some back streets too. No regrets at all, just bring sunglasses, the wind is real!
Last week
Booked last minute for my birthday – no regrets! The karts are tiny but surprisingly fast. Traffic gets wild in Shibuya, but the guide made sure nobody got lost. Slightly rushed at stops but honestly, it’s part of the chaos. Take gloves if your hands get cold easily. Would go again.

My kids (teens) kept begging to go, so we caved. Turns out, was a total highlight of our trip. The karts are LOUD and you feel every bump. 1 star off for the wait at start (like 40 mins, not kidding), but otherwise, staff made it smooth. Go early if ur impatient.
