Shibuya with Daniel
Such a fun time driving around the streets. The guide was helpful, took loads of pictures and made sure we had the best time!!! Thank you Daniel and the Team!!!
Best Experience in Tokyo
My husband and I had the best time karting through Shibuya! Our guide was so fun, he took over 40 pictures of us and knew we could handle going fast so he hauled it a few times and we loved following suit!! 100/10 recommend this experience! My husband said it’s going to be hard trying to top this experience for our month long honeymoon in Japan!
Super Fun Karting Experience at Shibuya
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our experience with Street Kart Shibuya was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan! Our guide, Allen, was fantastic from start to finish. Before heading out, we watched a short safety video, learned how to operate the karts, and practiced Allen's hand signals for driving in single file or side-by-side. The instructions were clear, and we felt comfortable and prepared before we hit the road. Allen led the group through the city with confidence, making us feel safe the entire time. Even though we were driving on the left side of the road, it was easy to follow along and enjoy the experience because of his guidance. The best part was driving through Shibuya Crossing! Waving to all the pedestrians while dressed in our costumes made it such a memorable experience. My husband was Stitch, and I was Angel from Lilo & Stitch. So many people smiled, waved back, and took photos. It was impossible not to have fun! If you're visiting Tokyo, I highly recommend Street Kart Shibuya. It's such a unique way to see the city, and Allen made the experience unforgettable. Thank you for an amazing adventure!

Fun way to experience Shibuya for an hour!
This was a fun hour spent in and around Shibuya. A nice to have if you can squeeze it in and can afford it. Older kids (19s) loved it. A fun way to see Shibuya another way. We stayed within a 1-2 sq mile and crossed Shibuya crossing multiple times. We were videos by others and probably made some highlight reels. Our guide was friendly and melts us safe on the super busy streets. This is not a historical tour of any kind, purely just an activity to do while in Tokyo. The costumes were fun but hot so dress in cooler under clothes and bring a mask as the exhaust was a bit heavy (wish we”d of had those). They get you in and out fast, watch a training video, and go over dos and do nots. Had a great time and a nice highlight for social media if you’re into that. Note you cannot use phone/video while driving, only at red lights. Recommend a go pro if you want to capture the actual driving part. Fun!
