Street kart fun

This was a fun activity, great communication on what’s needed before. Guide Ray was great. Easy operating instructions. They give you ziplock bag to put your passport in and ponchos to wear under the costume if it rains. This was a fun activity

Amazing drive experience in Osaka!

I cannot stress how amazing this experience was for us! The facility was great, easy to find, and the staff were incredible. We had a nice safety briefing video featuring one driver, Marvin, which was extremely informative. We then had a brief "getting to know your kart" session, and then we got off onto the streets! Our driver was extremely patient, fun, and engaging. She stopped several times to take photos of us during the drive and ensured we were all safe and having a good time often. My only regret is not booking the longer drive! We did 60 minutes and it felt like it flew by!
