Everything was smoothly managed. Sent off our international driving licences to be verified so we knew there wouldn't be any nightmares on the day. The Street Kart team were friendly and very safety conscious. Its was terrifying at first because you are on Shibuya crossing in the first 5 minutes! But after that we got more relaxed and LOVED IT!!! Wish there had been more super Mario costumes - I ended up as a Toy Story alien instead! The team and experience was brilliant! Highly recommend!

Ride the Streets as Your Favorite Hero

Feel the power of a revving engine as you hop in a go-kart to zoom through the bustling streets of Shibuya. After a brief orientation of your custom go-kart's controls and safety procedures, slip into your chosen character costume – be it a superhero, cartoon icon, or any other favorite character. Spring into action as you take the wheels of a custom-made kart, weighing in at 95kgs and capable of reaching a speed limit of 40km/h. But fear not, even with the wind rushing past, safety is paramount. With a professional driver leading the way, you're all set to take on the streets of Shibuya.

Zoom Past Shibuya Crossing, Harajuku & More

Kick-start your adventure from the heart of Shibuya, driving straight towards Shibuya Crossing. Feel the adrenaline as you maneuver through the sea of pedestrians at this iconic intersection. From there, steer towards the streets of Harajuku, the fashion mecca of Tokyo. Pass by Harajuku Station, one of Tokyo's oldest rail stations, and head to Omotesando, often likened to Paris's Champs-Élysées before looping back to your starting point. This tree-lined avenue is home to flagship designer stores and chic cafes.
