★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 217 reviews · from $88Our pick

Drive a street-legal go-kart through Shibuya, Harajuku, and Shinjuku with a guide, costumes, photos, and an essential paper IDP.

“I was not able to participate in the event due to a medical condition that occurred a couple of hours prior to the event. I would not have been able to properly drive the kart and I would not place myself or others in danger. I contacted the location and Viator’s customer service, and they were not sympathetic to my situation and did not approve a refund. They cited the policy which I understood, but they should have also understood that accident happens. I am very disappointed with their handling of this situation. I would recommend that customers wanting to do the go Kart, reach out to Street Kart instead.…”

And the tour of Shibuya/Harajkuku was fun! And Elena helped me find some murals I wanted to go back to and photograph after the tour. Gracias Elena!
