Seriously the BEST thing I have ever done and that too in SWAG. It was just the two of us - my son n myself . A day after the Typhoon here in Tokyo . Clear blue skies - gentle winds . A Pilot car and a car at the back . Due to public holidays hardly any traffic . Tokyo bay stop was the highlight . Go Karts were awesome . The staff were super friendly - great briefing prior to the activity which completely put us at ease. 2 hours just flew by like minutes - most memorable 🤗 . We owned the STREETS of Tokyo 🙌🥇

The whole thing was amazing and not at all what my partner and I expected. The food was delicious, and the waiting staff were quick and friendly. There was an English speaking announcer, who was very engaging and gave so much interesting info, whilst also getting the crowd involved. The sumo wrestlers were so charismatic and really knew how to work the crowd. My boyfriend and I both volunteered to challenge the wrestlers - putting on an inflatable Sumo suit and trying to push the wrestler out the ring. The Geisha was beautiful and it was great to see her dance. Got a pic with them all the end - what an amazing start to our trip! So worth the money :)
