Street karting through Tokyo is one of those experiences that photos & videos just can’t do justice.

This is one of the craziest things you can legally do in Tokyo! Street karting is an unforgettable experience that belongs on every Tokyo bucket list. Before you even get here, make sure you have your international driving permit. You'll get to dress up in different character costumes (not Super Mario-based due to copyright issues) and watch an informational session before you start. The tour lasts about two hours, and you'll literally drive through the streets of Tokyo, passing by all the major attractions like Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Tower. Crossing Rainbow Bridge felt like being in a game! If you start in the back of the line, don't worry, they rotate everyone throughout the tour so you'll get a chance to drive up front. There's a guide leading the entire trip, so you're not winging it. They also take pictures of you every time you stop at a red light, which you can get at the end of the tour. You can take out your phones from pouches at red lights to record, but for hands-free recording, I definitely suggest getting Meta Glasses. This was easily one of the highlights of my trip, and I highly suggest booking it, especially for a first-time trip to Japan.
