Essential Driving Information & Tips

Before you jump into the driver's seat, there are several crucial details to keep in mind to ensure a safe and seamless adventure. Most importantly, all participants must hold a valid International Driving Permit (IDP) issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention, or a valid Japanese driver's license. Without the proper documentation, you will not be legally permitted to operate the go-karts on public roads. Please ensure you have the physical copy of your permit and your passport with you on the day of the activity.

Safety is always the top priority. Before hitting the streets, professional guides will provide a comprehensive safety briefing, explaining the controls of the go-kart and the local traffic laws of Japan. Always follow your guide's instructions, maintain a safe following distance, and adhere strictly to all traffic signals.

Regarding attire, while dressing up in fun outfits has historically been a popular part of this activity, please note that on-site costume rental services may be temporarily suspended due to health and safety protocols. However, you are encouraged to wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and closed-toe shoes for optimal driving safety. Keep your camera securely strapped or use an action camera mount to capture the dazzling sights of Akihabara without compromising your grip on the steering wheel. Get ready for an epic ride through one of the most dynamic cities in the world!
