Night drives and small groups get a mention too. Pierre (Sep 2026) wrote “The one hour night I had was a great success!” and was the only person on his tour.

Shibuya & Shinjuku Tour FAQ

It starts at 4-18-2 Nishi-Shinjuku, a 20-minute walk from Shinjuku Station, and the itinerary begins with a 15-minute safety briefing. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so plan to reach the start yourself and check the exact address in your booking. The operator asks you to arrive 20 minutes early.

The price includes the go-karting tour, a guide, photos and free costumes. Hotel pickup and drop-off are listed as not included, and the listing doesn't mention insurance, fuel or a raincoat. One reviewer (Sep 2026) enjoyed snacks and drinks after the drive, but they aren't listed, so treat them as a bonus rather than part of the price.

Yes — free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start, with a full refund, and you can reserve now and pay later. On our check for 15 Oct 2026 the deadline shown was 14 Oct. The exception is documents: the operator can't refund you if you arrive with an incorrect or invalid permit.

You need all three originals: your home driving license, a booklet-type IDP issued under the 1949 Convention by your country's authority, and your passport. Drivers from Switzerland, Germany, France, Taiwan, Belgium and Monaco bring an official Japanese translation instead of the IDP. The tour isn't available to IDP holders from Brazil, China, Indonesia, Mexico, Qatar, Saudi Arabia or Bahrain.

The listing excludes people under 145 cm or over 200 cm, people over 100 kg, people over 95 and people under 17. Every driver also needs a full home license plus a valid IDP or JAF translation, so ask the operator before booking for anyone under 18. The two Akiba Kart tours in Shibuya are narrower still, at 150–185 cm and under 100 kg.

The tour is sold as 1 hour, and the operator doesn't state how much of it is at the wheel. The listed hour includes a 15-minute safety briefing in Shinjuku, and the operator doesn't say how much of the rest is at the wheel. Pierre (Sep 2026) calls his one-hour night drive “a great success”.

Only for one seat on our check date. On 15 Oct 2026, checked on 29 Sep 2026, the ¥9,000 (≈$57) option had one start time and one spot left; the next option cost ¥13,500 (≈$86), a gap of ¥4,500. The listing also warns that the final price may vary by date, participants and availability.

Wear comfortable closed shoes: high heels, sandals and flip-flops are not allowed. The listing asks you to bring your passport, driver's license, international driving permit and comfortable shoes. Costumes are provided free, and the guide takes photos, so you don't need your own camera. Alcohol and drugs are not allowed.
