Anyone want to try the go karts in Tokyo?
We typically discourage people not to do it. Locals really don't like it.
You also have to have an international driver's license, which many don't.
and having seen it multiple times. Its really lame and weird in my opinion. You'll get a much better time sightseeing by just walking
tulip rain
Witnessed it the other day. Looked very lame and slow. I could cycle faster than these karts go

Ahh fair enough good to know

You really don't go very fast. He's not exaggerating when you could bike faster than those karts are allowed to go
