First-timers to Tokyo might be thoroughly surprised when they see Mario, Peach, Yoshi and the crew zooming by on real-life Mario Karts. The locals won’t even blink an eye. Tokyo’s streets are no stranger to go-carts, and in fact, it’s one of the best ways to see the many highlights of Tokyo. Get your international driver’s license before you come to Tokyo, so you can take part in this incredible weird thing to do in Tokyo.
Check out this Mario Kart tour that starts west of Shinjuku and takes you to Harajuku, through Shibuya crossing, and more.
If you have a bit of need for speed, take the Akihabara go-karting tour, which takes you over the Rainbow Bridge and you can hit speeds up to 60 km/hr! (It feels faster when you’re exposed to the elements)
Reserve the Shinjuku Tour if location-wise that’s the best for you.
Note: Throwing banana peels and turtle shells are not allowed, even though it’s weird Tokyo.
We definitely need to get back to Tokyo. We crossed some of these off our list but still have a few still to do. Great list. I love how there are so many unique things to do in Tokyo.
