The Go-Karting In Tokyo.

When traveling to Japan, you get so many opportunities to experience some truly unique things. Aside from the great food, interesting sights, and incredibly friendly people, there are also activities that you’ll likely not see anywhere else in the world.

90-minute go kart course costs about 20000 yen or USD135.

That development likely pleased many Tokyo citizens — and especially drivers — who never liked the go-karters in the first place.

Each kart comes outfitted with things like side view mirrors, a horn, and a little flag — so you don’t get smushed by a dump truck. The street legal go-karts can reach speeds of 50km/h and have special light blue licence plates reserved for microcars.

Anyone with a valid Japanese or international licence can drive go-karts. Wearing helmets is not necessary, and apparently, some customers even enjoy cosplaying while they enjoy karting.

With a full tank of petrol, you can drive the go-kart for about 80km before running out. This is a new and interesting way to explore Tokyo.
