Plus trust me, it is really hard to drive and take photos without your phone going flying…. Normal road rules apply here though so no photos or use of devices are allowed while driving as being pulled over is a stop on the tour you probably don’t want to make.

Make sure you dress appropriately for the season – it can be bitterly cold in winter, but if you dress properly it won’t be a problem and the epic onesie of famous animation characters available for use free of charge do help to keep you warm! It’s also OK to take phones or small cameras with you and secure bags are provided on the karts.

Real-Life Mario Kart tours with MariCARS range from 1.5 to 3 hours – but you should go for the longest length possible as once you start you are not going to want to stop, plus you already have gone through all the effort of getting your international drivers license for Japan go-karting right? To drive in Japan, you must have either a Japanese Driving License, a SOFA Driving License for US Forces in Japan, a Passport issued in Switzerland, Germany, France, Taiwan, Belgium, Slovenia or Monaco with Foreign driving license and Japanese Translation by authorized organization or most likely – an international driving Permit (issued by a signatory to the 1949 Geneva Convention) which you need to apply and receive from your home country! Important note: A valid international driving license is required for any drivers in Japan – real-life Mario kart or otherwise. The outfits are also washed after each use so no concerns there either. Whatever you choose it all adds to the hilarity to come for both you and passers-by as you whizz through the streets. Are you feeling particularly Super….man? Maybe your friends a little nervous and you need to Poke-em-on? Or perhaps you feel the need to live out your fantasy life as that Italian plumber mentioned earlier? To really set the mood you have the option of uncountable different animated characters from movies and video games to choose from. Remember this is Japan and simply karting around the city isn’t crazy enough. Thankfully here in Tokyo, however, you have a 3rd option for exploring the city – with a big point of difference – MariCARS!!! Head out on a tour with MariCARS and you’ll be traversing a big chunk of the central city along with the wind in your hair and adrenaline pumping through your veins – no boring facts, forced souvenir shopping or stuffy museums guaranteed!
However, when visiting Tokyo it would be a struggle to cover any decent ground with those other more traditional ideas given the size of the city, meaning you only get to see a small area of Tokyo and spend plenty of time underground in crowded subways. Generally, this would involve something like a free walking tour some cities offer or perhaps a food tour that shows you around at the same time. Now I’ve always said if you’re not sure where to start with a city the best thing to do is jump on a city tour of some sort. Simply getting your bearings in Tokyo so you can come up with the best plan that suits you is going to be difficult. Where to go, what to see etc – there are just so many options of unusual things to do in Tokyo. For any traveler that’s been to any of the biggest cities in the world before you no doubt know that upon arriving in Tokyo you are initially going to be a little overwhelmed.
