Akihabara Go Kart Reviews
We had an absolutely amazing experience go-karting through the iconic streets of Tokyo with the Akihabara Tour.
The well-maintained karts and attentive guide made this a highlight of my trip to Japan! Before we drove off, there was an important road safety briefing which gave us peace of mind as our friendly tour guide maneuvered around some busy intersections skillfully.
We were offered a large selection of costumes including ones that weren’t in the best condition – however, they still added extra fun to this brilliant adventure.
The great thing about it is that Klook offers incredible prices for tickets and their easy-to-use vouchers make it super convenient too! It’s also worth noting that some sessions may end early due to heavy rain but you will get refunded really quickly so no harm done!
To add even more excitement, during night tours you can enjoy beautiful views while your guides take heaps of photos and videos.
