Highlights

Explore Tokyo from behind the wheel of your own personal go-kart and feel like you're in a real-life video game. Navigate the bustling streets with your guide as you discover the city's most famous neighborhoods. This thrilling adventure offers an exciting new perspective of Tokyo – choose between 1 or 2-hour options when booking. 1-Hour Plan Race through the neon-lit streets of Akihabara, Japan's legendary electronics and anime district in costume. Continue to the Imperial Palace, cruising by its historic perimeter walls. Conclude at iconic Tokyo Station, recognizable by its red brick architecture. 2-Hour Plan Begin in Akihabara, Tokyo's beloved otaku paradise. Next, venture to historic Ueno in the traditional "Shitamachi" district that housed Tokyo's working class. From Ueno, drive south to Asakusa, home to the famous Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate) with its massive red lantern. On your return, pass beneath the towering Tokyo Skytree – at 634 meters, one of the world's tallest towers.

About Tokyo

Neon-lit districts, quiet shrines, superb food and distinct neighbourhoods make up Tokyo, a vast, orderly metropolis linked by punctual trains.

Every district feels like its own city. Shibuya's famous scramble crossing and Shinjuku's towers, bars and Golden Gai alleys pulse with energy, while Harajuku mixes youth fashion with the forested calm of the Meiji Jingu shrine. In Asakusa, the Sensō-ji temple and its market street keep an older Tokyo alive, and Ginza offers polished department stores and galleries.

Top-ranked sights in Tokyo: Senso-ji Temple (Asakusa Temple), Tokyo Imperial Palace, Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu).
