My friend and I booked this to complete our day after USJ and it was by far one of my favorite things on this trip. I will definitely be telling anyone who's willing to listen - This is the place to go! Easy to understand instructions, friendly staff, and views that had my jaw on the floor. 10/10, when I come back I'll do this again!

Never book with this company. I paid online for a group driving activity using small cars. When I arrived, they told me that an International Driving Permit was required, so I could not participate.

This important requirement was not made clear enough before I paid. Even though I did not participate or receive the service, they refused to refund me. I spoke directly with the manager/owner, but they would not offer any reasonable solution.

Very disappointing experience and poor customer service. Please check every requirement carefully before giving them your money.

We had an incredible experience with Japan Kart Osaka! From the very beginning, safety was clearly their top priority. The team provided excellent training before we hit the road, making sure everyone felt comfortable and confident operating the karts.

One thing that really stood out was how much they went above and beyond to capture the experience. They took tons of photos and videos throughout the tour, so we could enjoy the ride without worrying about documenting it ourselves.

Driving through Osaka was an unforgettable experience, and having a lead car in front and a support vehicle behind us made us feel much safer—especially on the city’s busy streets. Their organization, professionalism, and attention to safety allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the adventure.

If you’re looking for a fun and unique way to see Osaka, I highly recommend Japan Kart Osaka. We’d absolutely do it again!

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!! We were able to book the night before which was handy. On the ride we always felt safe and secure due to the easy briefing beforehand. Remember if you are from overseas to take your passport, international drivers licence and your licence from home. Our guide was a lovely man named Ben! He was a great help and ensured that all our questions were answered! He also ensured that plenty of photos were taken along the way!

Had so much fun with Japan Kart in Osaka today! The team were so helpful, we felt safe on the roads driving within the busy streets, and had a great time seeing the sights from a unique perspective. I would definitely recommend you do this in Osaka.

Amazing experience. An absolute must when coming to Japan. We had originally booked for the shinjuku branch but due to bad weather we rearranged for Osaka, and we had a blast, we will definitely be doing it again when we come to Japan. Amazing service, amazing instructors, explained everything extremely well. We booked the 90 minute tour, next time we will be booking a longer one! The karts go fast, it’s a blast driving down the streets of Japan and seeing the people and landmarks along the way. We got to pick out outfits for free and the staff took pictures/videos of us and gave them to us free of charge. 10/10 service. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED🏎️🏁

Japan Kart was an amazing way to experience Osaka! The tour was smooth, fun, and incredibly well organized. They took us to Osaka Castle and showed us around Shinsekai, making sure we got to see some of the city’s best spots. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend if you want a unique and exciting way to explore Osaka!

it wasn’t too busy when we went, it was just my friend and I with the instructor, Marin. There were onsies of you wanted to wear them but we opted to say in our clothes. We had a video debrief and signed the waiver before heading out. Marin gave clear gestures with his hands throughout the drive to help us navigate the city. We never got separated and there wasn’t much traffic either (2-3pm). Would definitely do again.

First time doing Go-Karting on open road! Was so thrilling and fun. The staff are very professional and most importantly due to their guide cars being both ahead and behind the fleet of Go-Karts, you feel quite safe despite being beside full sized cars and trucks. On top of this, the route they guide you through really does capture some nice spots/scenery Osaka has to offer. Our experience with Japan Kart Osaka was 10/10, would absolutely do it again on our next travel to Japan.

i had an absolute blast karting in the streets with my friend! first time traveling to japan, and i already miss it.
it was raining on the first half of the drive, which is what i needed — but cleared up afterwards. the city was beautiful, nice people waving, i love every bit of it.
i highly recommend it, and i wish to do it all again next time.

Very good agency!
Ben and the driver explained everything and guided me well, the tour was super fun, and since I happened to be alone, I've literally got a private tour for the price of a regular one.

The pictures were also great, and the Karting also.

Highly recommended.
