2024 BEST Japan Go-Karting Course | Street Kart Tokyo Bay

[@kaylathomas8224]

How did you guys feel after riding for nearly two hours? Were you tired? I've never ridden longer than 15 minutes and i'm debating this route vs the shibuya one that is roughly a hour.

[@TheOnlyDTM]

I’m doing this same trip im hype

[@varungarg]

Can we use our phones to click photos?

[@kaminoshogun2196]

This is definitely on my list of things to do when I (eventually) go to Japan 😅

[@TheNikeAirman]

So worth it! I would do it again but at night to see the city lights in Tokyo

[@stormitheteslam3406]

What’s the average speed limit the group is traveling?

[@adriansandoval2331]

Can you go in with your own Mario Kart costume?

[@MiChael92617]

No you can't.

[@leigh3369]

What camera did you use?

[@TheNikeAirman]

I wore a go pro with a head harness and also the ray ban meta sunglasses

[@shubhamswaroop1102]

How to get IDP ? please proviode some info.

[@rob8779]

It’s real easy, just go to a AAA office, bring 2 passport sized photos, a filled application (you can find it online), and 20bucks. They can give it to you same day and if it’s not busy do it in a few minutes

[@lucylixiang]

What was the highest speed you guys went?

[@DonChi-x6h]

He said 50 mph in the video.

[@lucylixiang]

ok thanks! 🙏

[@edgarh5849]

Is possible to mount a GoPro on it or is it best to wear the GoPro physically?

[@TheNikeAirman]

I believe there are mounts on the karts for a go pro but personally I think it’s a better POV to see the kart itself and your hand with the GoPro on your head.

[@numb3rbee]

@@TheNikeAirmanThanks for sharing this video! Which make me and my friend decided to go an experience it end of this month! Ohya I wonder we can use our own go pro?

[@HarlemPanther]

Can you record via iPhone from time to time as you drive?

[@TheNikeAirman]

Unfortunately you cannot. They tell you before you drive and if you get caught they cancel the tour on the spot. It’s illegal there in Japan while driving but you can take it out at red lights !

[@carpetalla]

Was it scary or hard to follow my group going in October and i want to do it but kinda nervous. I already got the license

[@Samdogg-dv7mb]

how did you get the license

[@carpetalla]

@@Samdogg-dv7mb if you in the usa. AARP has an application on their website fill that out and mail it in with your money gram

[@xoxmaryann]

do you need to have an IDP to drive?

[@TheNikeAirman]

Yes you do

[@nialzinth]

Looks really fun to do. But having to translate my driver's license into Japanese (certain countries) makes this activity almost cost twice as much. Kind of holding me back... :(

[@beverlybarnes5166]

It costs $30 at AAA

[@beverlybarnes5166]

I apologize I’m assuming you live in the US

[@nialzinth]

I'm not from the US but from Belgium. It's one of the 7 countries which require a translated driver's license (cost of €75 over here) I haven't dug deep into this issue yet so I'm not sure if there is a somewhat cheaper alternative. The term 'AAA' seems to be a US thing?

[@Jay-gy1ii]

Good video kuya.

[@pealo]

Love the video and info 😊

[@Freelancer604]

Do they have 2 seaters? Want to take my kid lol

[@TheNikeAirman]

Unfortunately, I don’t believe they have 2 seaters but I saw that monkey kart has an option for someone to ride in the back of a scooter like vehicle that the tour guide drives!

[@raniniamv]

​@@TheNikeAirmanoh really that's interesting, I don't have the license but I'm about to go to Japan with my brother soon, where did you book for the Mario kart please ?

[@andythai8676]

This screams foreigner trap 😂

[@DonutLord32]

That's on my bucket list if I ever make it to japan

[@TheNikeAirman]

I couldn’t recommend it enough. Definitely on the top favorite things done on our trip to Japan !

[@DonutLord32]

@@TheNikeAirman I bet it was. Looks fun

[@bobcharlotte8724]

As someone living in Tokyo for over a decade let me speak for the millions of people here and say, we hate people driving go karts through the busy streets and are amazed it's not illegal.

[@youtubeisproCCP]

You are wrong and parroting Instagram white girl material. Find me a poll from citizens of Japan and not just residents who think it's upsetting the Japanese. Nobody cares about them except idiotic impatient taxi drivers and the parasitic media that makes a big deal about literally anything they can. I work for another company in another location and we never get any issues from the locals. They regulate karts a-lot more now. Now they have to use 50cc motors, have compression steering columns. Specific IDPs ( many countries are banned IE China, Indonesia, India), local license and a passport. They only reason they are "dangerous" is because the tour operator does EXACTLY what they are doing in this video. Going way too fucking fast, no suspension, waving at everyone. Now we are limited to 50cc we wont be able to go extremely fast unless the operator of the kart decides to do so. Blame the guides. Ive done guiding in New Zealand with ATV's in Hanmer Springs, Ski instructing for 8 years....I have NEVER had my customers in danger because I can read when they are drunk, on drugs, unable to understand my words, distracted, or an adrenaline junky trying to show off..... I pull the pin every single time someone does something I specifically said they should not. For example, I confiscate all their phones before our tours, because some Taiwanese ticktok brain rot kids wouldnt stop using their phones at the lights, not illegal but not safe. Now we run our tours with the phones in our support car. They can use them when we stop at a sight. If they over take anyone in the group, out. We use translated videos for a our safety demo and kart operation and we go over the laws and all the specific things that occur to karts in Japan that we MUST look out for. For example, bus's and trucks are completely given the right of way. Our groups are told to let them pass or take the lane, we can split up and regroup no issue. Nothing is a race I don't think the locals hate us. The media hyper fixates on anything that happens with them (the other companies that are burnt out ALT's). Our company has 58 karts and 3 locations. We have never had a single Japanese person say anything bad to us, if they think it, cool, but I don't see "millions" of people on social media crying out to have them banned. I am not saying my company WON'T have a major accident, I am sure they will, but with the amount of customers we turn over, its bound to happen.

[@toda0725]

japanese？

[@kevinross9423]

😂😂😂😂 we still gonna do it today

[@twoseveneight6953]

Shut up you grinch!!! 😂😂😂

[@youtubeisproCCP]

I do it for a living....no issues with the locals. just taxi drivers who are idiots anyway

[@HeyyDannyBoyy]

What camera did you use?
