REVIEW · ASAKUSA, SENSO-JI AND TOKYO SKYTREE
Tokyo Go Kart: Asakusa, Skytree, and Akihabara **IDP MUST**
Tokyo from a steering wheel is a different kind of sight.
This go-kart tour gives you a guided ride through iconic neighborhoods like Akihabara Electric Town and past the Skytree area, plus the classic Asakusa sights. What I like most is how the route stays fun and manageable because your guide drives in front, so you are not stuck reading directions while you try to stay smooth on the pedals.
Second, you get photos as part of the experience, including a hard copy printed photo, so your night out ends with something tangible. The main drawback to think about is the driving paperwork: to drive, you must have the right IDP type in hard-copy paper form, and some permit types are not accepted in Japan.
