Full description

On this guided kart tour you drive your own small, street-legal kart around Shibuya, with a guide leading the convoy. The route loops through the neighbourhood and crosses the famous scramble crossing several times from different directions, so you see it up close rather than from a window.

Karts drive on public roads in normal traffic, following Japanese road rules, and the pace is steady rather than fast. Costumes are often available if you want to add to the fun.
