Do I need a driver’s license to join the go-kart tour?

Yes, a valid driver’s license is required. International visitors must also bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with their home country’s license. Without these, you won’t be allowed to drive on public roads in Japan.

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

Yes. The go-karts are designed for public road use and maintained to safety standards. A guide leads the group along a set route, and safety instructions are provided before departure. Helmets or costumes are included for the experience.

Do I need prior go-kart driving experience?

No experience is needed. If you can drive a regular car, you’ll find go-karts easy to handle. The speed is limited, and the tour guide sets a comfortable pace for everyone.

Can highways be used?

No. Expressways, highways, and roads requiring engines over 50cc cannot be used.

What about parking during the drive?

If parking is needed during the drive, coin-operated parking spaces can be used like a normal car. Any parking fees must be paid by the customer, and customers are responsible for any theft or damage to the vehicle.

Are we allowed to bring costumes?

No. Bringing costumes is not allowed. Costumes are provided and included in your tour package. If you wish to bring your own, please confirm with the reservation team in advance.

What are the maximum height and weight limits to drive the go-kart?
