Do I need to bring my passport?

Yes, foreign visitors must carry their passport along with their valid driver’s license or IDP. This is required by law when driving in Japan, and tour staff will check before the ride begins.

Is it safe to drive a go-kart in busy Tokyo streets?

Yes. The tours are guided by experienced staff who lead the way, ensuring everyone stays together and follows traffic rules. Go-karts are street-legal in Tokyo, and safety instructions are explained before the ride begins. Helmets and seat belts are provided.

What should I wear during the tour?

It’s best to wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes. Since the ride is outdoors, dress for the weather—jackets for cooler evenings or light clothing for summer. Costumes are provided if you’d like to dress up for fun and photos.

Can I take photos or videos while driving?

For safety reasons, drivers cannot use cameras or phones while on the road. However, there are planned stops where you can take pictures. The guide may also help take group photos during the tour.

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes, advance booking is highly recommended as spots are limited. Popular times, especially evenings when Tokyo’s lights are most vibrant, can sell out quickly.
