Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a special license to drive a street go-kart in Tokyo?+

Yes — you need a valid International Driving Permit (IDP) issued in your home country PLUS your original national driver's license. Most nationalities can obtain an IDP through their country's automobile association before traveling. Japanese driver's licenses are also accepted.

What is the minimum age and height requirement?+

Drivers must be 16 or older with a valid license. The minimum height is typically 150cm for reaching the pedals safely. Passengers are not permitted — each participant must drive their own kart.

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

Operators are licensed and guided tours follow safe routes with traffic-appropriate speeds (20–50 km/h). The guide leads the group and stops at lights. Tokyo drivers are generally orderly. However, participants must be comfortable driving in traffic and follow the guide's instructions at all times.

What costumes are available?+

Most operators offer Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser, anime character outfits (Pikachu, Totoro, etc.), animal mascot suits, and various superhero costumes. Availability varies by operator — book early for the best selection on popular character suits.

Where does the go-kart tour start?+

Most Shibuya-area tours start near Harajuku or Omotesando. The exact starting point is confirmed with the booking voucher. Participants should arrive 15–20 minutes early for safety briefing, license check, and costume selection.
