    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had an amazing time with **Akiba Kart Osaka**! The instructions were clear and the video guide was easy to follow. Loved the option of wearing onesies. The go-karts were user-friendly and made exploring Osaka a breeze. Plus, they provided pictures and videos as keepsakes. Highly recommend for a unique city tour experience!

    It was an absolutely amazing experience to do the Mario kart and the city center of Osaka! It was incredibly super fun to book with friends together, and you just need an international driving license permit or translation of your driving license if you’re a foreigner. I love the most about this experience is that you really get to see the famous spots of Osaka during the drive. It was super safe, and the guide Byeonghoon lead us super well. We weren’t worried at all even when there were a lot of cars driving along side of us on the road. I will recommend booking the 1 hr tour because it was sufficient enough to see most of Osaka’s popular landmarks, and as well as the driving it gets a bit tiring for the feet if driving the kart for the 2hr package. The onesie was adorable and definitely recommend checking out this place and making your reservation early before visiting!

    Lots of fun. Edu was our host and did a great job of making sure everything went smooth. Would recommend adding this to bucket list if you coming to visit Osaka 😎 On a side note, make sure you get your international drivers license before you come to Japan. We saw a couple get turned away because they did not purchase their international drivers license and they got frustrated at the worker for something that was their fault. The international drivers license looks like a little book and should have your photo in it.

    I would totally recommend this activity to everyone who is in Osaka. The best way to book it is using klook. Make sure u book it in advance as there are limited slots. We took 2 hours activity which started at 6pm to 8pm and they made a group of 4 of us. The staff was super friendly and really nice taking our pictures everywhere. International Driving permit is must for this activity. The costumes are free for rental reach early so u can select among the wide range. U should carry small waist bag as we need to carry passport & international Driving permit with us for complete activity.

    Great fun way to see Osaka city. We had a ball. The carts are fast enough to be fun but not at all intimidating. Highly recommend going on a tour with Hank and Eddie!

    Amazing experience, the guides were really awesome and had fantastic English. Pick a time that is not peak hour traffic. The drive did not go for the full hour it was more like 45 mins, but still really enjoyable. We were also given copies of all the pictures our guides took along the way

    This was so much fun. They did a great job showing you how to use the go kart and ensure that you are able to follow them. If stuck your lead driver will wait for you We had Hank as our driver and had a blast! Would definitely recommend this as an activity in Osaka

    Do yourself a favour and book this activity! Best way to get some sightseeing done around Osaka with a little thrill! Had a great time with two awesome instructors, Byeonghoon and Lawrence. Honestly can't recommend them enough!

  • 5/5 Pei Shan Lee (. 5 months ago on Google
    Always wanted to try Go Karting on the road and finally did it!! Was guided by Ifan who was really friendly and took care of us throughout our whole journey. They have really cute costumes too and its very instagram worthy! 10/10 would recommend to friends and will def do it again!!

  • 5/5 Junjie A. 5 months ago on Google
    Eddi and Edu were AWESOME in guiding us in the kart tour and they were meticulous yet fun! Bringing us the streets of lights within Osaka! Its a must come activity within Osaka. Warning! If you are doing it in the cold autumn or winter, please wear proper shoes/socks and gloves. I got my hands so cold with it. I learnt my lesson here

  • 5/5 Joyce C. 5 months ago on Google
    Go-karting on the streets is really an experience. A must try if you have not tried it before. You’ll need to apply for an IDP and book in advance before visiting. We booked the 2 hour tour and there was some rest time mid-way as we enjoyed the view of Osaka Castle over the waters. Going at night allowed us to enjoy the city lights, a really pretty sight. Arrive early to register. You can also dress up using their costumes. You’ll be shown an instructional video before going on the roads, led by their guides. They’ll help you take plenty of pictures to send you too. Hank and Marin were perfect guides. Had a fun time. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Isabel T. 6 months ago on Google
    Best go karting experience ever on the streets! susumu brought us to places such as Dontonbori, shinsekai, Osaka tower and explained each of the streets and their significance to us at every stop. Felt like an Osaka city tour! Loved every minute of it. They take photos for you too!!!!

  • 5/5 Yinjie G. 5 months ago on Google
    Had a fun experience zooming around some of Osaka’s tourist attractions in a go kart. Visited Akiba kart Osaka (Nipponbashi) on a weekday late afternoon. Shop was easy to find, walkable distance from Shinsaibashi/Dotonbori/Kuromon market area. There were 2 guides and 9 riders on the day of my visit so we split into group of two, with Byeonghun leading our group. He and the other guide were both very friendly and easy going, which is a big plus point for the already fun experience! Must try itinerary if you can drive. I’ll definitely visit again the next time I’m back in Osaka! ありがとう /감사합니다 😃

    Very friendly, very patient. Eddi was a great host. Please definitely take the 2 hours ride instead of the 1 hour. 2 hours passed like a breeze. It's convoy driving so no stress at all. Read less a

The staff was super friendly Thanks Hank for guiding was really nice ride and really nice taking our pictures everywhere thanks again!! International Driving permit is must for this activity.

  • 5/5 Shane N. 10 months ago on Google
    This has been by far the best experience so far in Osaka. I did the two-hour tour with Edu and Sandy were the best guides to have! I HIGHLY recommend having those two as your guides. They were very accommodating and personable people to be around and talk to, before, during, and after the trip. This is one experience you'd want to do when you come to Osaka. Fast Karts and they took us all around Osaka. Shout out Edu for the A1 camera skills! Again I HIGHLY recommend you ask Edu and Sandy as your tour guides for this! 20/10 will do it again!

  • 5/5 Herveline S. 8 months ago on Google
    Haru showed us a great time around the city. The instructions are easy to understand and the environment is friendly and calm. Made an initially scary experience (as an American used to driving on the right side) fun and enjoyable. He took pictures of us on his phone and provided them to us for free. Great staff, great excursion, absolutely zero complaints!

  • 5/5 Lainey C. 9 months ago on Google
    Excellent and pretty amazing experience! Definitely recommend it. I’ve done the one in Tokyo a few years back but this is definitely a much better experience! Definitely recommend the evening drive because the roads are not as busy with cars & night lights are wonderful. Hank was a great driver/ leader for our little group of 4. He always made sure we were safe on the road and took so many photos of us. Thank you, Hank & Akiba team!!

  • 5/5 Dema Obeid A. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow, wow ! What an experience! We had the 2 hours drive, and we enjoyed every minute. Our guides: Sandy, Mako, & Taka took us to well-known spots such as: Osaka Castle, Osaka Tower, and Dotonbori. They were very kind, took us photos and videos whenever we stopped on a red light. I would love to experience this again. We're so proud to be their first customers from Jordan 🇯🇴 We'll be posting our full experience on our YouTube channel "Radwan O Dema". If you need to try the Mario Kart vibes, then this is the place! Look no were else ❤️

    Do it 👍👍 Being able to legally ride a go-kart on the streets of Japan while dressed up as various characters like Pikachu or Winnie The Poo is going to become a highlight of your trip. Make sure you have a valid IDP (international driver's permit) or else you won't be able to do this activity. Book the 2 hour slot 👍👍 Its so much fun and the go-karts actually have some power to them. You'll also have tons of people taking photos of you, you'll feel like a celebrity 😂 Your guide will also take photos of you and the group as you journey through the streets of Osaka. It's an amazing experience with a company I felt safe with on the road. Book it 👍
