Shibuya Go Kart Experience with Neo Shibuya Edge

About this experience

Experience Shibuya from the driver's seat of a street-legal go-kart — dressed in a fun costume of your choice. Unlike a typical sightseeing tour, you'll cruise Tokyo's most energetic district at street level, driving through the world-famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing and past the trendy streets of Harajuku and Meiji-Jingumae, led by a professional guide who knows all the photo-worthy spots. Each departure is a small-group ride with a maximum of 6 karts, so the guide keeps the pace comfortable for first-time drivers while making sure everyone gets their moment in front of the camera. Photo shooting by the staff is included — keep your hands on the wheel and still go home with unforgettable shots. The 90-minute experience includes approximately 60 minutes of driving time, costume rental, insurance and tax, with no hidden fees. Departures run from morning until evening, so you can choose a bright daytime cruise or the spectacular neon-lit night atmosphere that Shibuya is famous for.

What to expect

After checking in and completing the driver's license verification, choose your favorite costume and receive a safety briefing on how to operate the go-kart. Then follow your guide in a small convoy through the streets of Shibuya, driving through the world-famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing and past Harajuku and Meiji-Jingumae. Your guide leads you to photo-worthy spots along the route and takes pictures of you during the ride, so you can focus on driving and enjoying the neon-lit streets. The experience lasts about 90 minutes in total, including roughly 60 minutes of driving time.
