Fantastic experience 😍
Space experience and not complicated at all.
Finding them is very simple they are in a garage near SkyTree.
The guys who run it are available to help and put you at ease we had snack machines and bathroom available in addition to cartoon style clothing to wear included in the booking. but remember to bring with you all the right documents otherwise you will be disappointed. International driving licence passport and driving licence of your country. Opt for a 1h ride to Tokyo I would say perfect. We had a car in the front leading the way and a car in the back closing the line. They also took us an endless series of photos that they shot for free. Exceptional experience.
