The experience

Before you set off, your guide gives you clear, easy-to-understand instructions, and then the streets take over. Roppongi's bustling nightlife rushes past, and you dash under Tokyo Tower, a sight worth seeing from behind the wheel.

Next comes the Shibuya Scramble Crossing, where you ride straight through the world's busiest intersection. Along the way, the streets of Harajuku may give you a glimpse of Kawaii fashion.

Costumes and photo shooting are part of the package, so you can dress up for the ride and have it captured on camera. Insurance is included too.

Will I see Kawaii fashion in Harajuku on the go-kart route?

You might catch a glimpse of Kawaii fashion on the Harajuku streets, which the route passes through. This is not guaranteed, so it is a possible sight rather than a sure one.
