Tokyo’s east side offers a mix of old and new, and this go-kart ride lets you take it all in—fast. With a custom-built kart, a safety briefing, and a lead guide keeping things smooth, you’re ready to hit the road.

From neon streets to historic landmarks

The route moves from the modern waterfront of Toyosu to the flashing billboards of Akihabara. Ginza’s high-end storefronts line the way, followed by Ueno’s parks and museums. The ride through Asakusa brings views of Sensō-ji Temple before ending beneath Tokyo Skytree, standing tall at 634 meters.

A ride with character (literally)

Costumes add to the fun, whether it’s a superhero suit or an anime-inspired look. A guide leads the way, a support car follows, and photos capture the moments in between. The streets are yours—just with a little extra flair.
