Drive a go-kart in Asakusa, Akihabara, Skytree, and more with a guide, costume, and included photos and printouts.

It was a great addition to have the ability to wear costumes provided by the shop. That added a really nice fun factor to the overall experience.

Being able to see the city lights at night is definitely a bonus, I highly recommend reserving early so you can get a later drive time. It was great they also took and provided pictures throughout…”
