It was an awesome experience; our first time with go kart in Japan and we loved it. The Akiba staffs are friendly and helpful, especially Marin, led and made the tour course really exciting. Took lots of beautiful photo for us. Many thanks Marin. Easy booking with Headout.
I arrived at the given direction and didnt find any event in the location also i asked nearby shops about it but seems no one was able to guide me. I tried reaching out online support and wasnt working will. Am very disappointed about this event as it was one of top activites i planned to do in Osaka
The 1.5 hour night tour of Osaka was amazing. Albeit, it was cold but husband and I wanted to do it for the "Mario Kart" experience. The briefing video was informative and Haru, our guide, made sure we understood and followed the instructions on the road. I love how we had a bit of a test run in the non busy area of Osaka so that we're ready and could drive in the streets of Osaka alongside actual cars. It was a little hard to hear Haru because of the motors but we got the gist of all the areas we went to. And Haru took good photos of us, working extra hard to get our shots. Also, I'm glad that they provide the outfits in case you don't bring your own. This experience was more expensive than other tours we saw that were already sold out but it was worth it.
The ticketing experience was very straightforward and easy. The experience was awesome and very enjoyable.
Great experience and unbelievable staff that made it fun and interactive for our group! 100% recommend
We had a great time! Thank you for helping us find a new timeslot when our original one became unavailable. I will use this website again!
It was really fun- something we had all been really looking forward to all trip, great guide as well he was so much fun.
Our guide was amazing! Good explanation about the use of gokarts, funny and even had time while waiting at red lights to explain our surroundings! Highly recommended!!!
Everything was great! We loved it! It was so fun to drive around osake in funny costums and the guide was great and took some great pictures of us when it was red light. Very easy to drive the gocart. We hadn't drive anything in Japan before and this was no scary for us, only fun! 🤩🤗😊
Come by half an hour early to choose costume, it was easy to locate as well, some kids felt i was a real life minion and waved to me happily and public will take pictures, it is a great experience to try if you come by japan, I recommend if you have international driving license as required, although another person had caused trouble and we waited on the roadside while tourguide was looking for him, we lost a few minutes of the tour, so if we do try again we feel like we might try for a longer duration one, but it was all good since we took lots of pictures and selfies while waiting. Enjoyed the view while driving around as well, thank you all staff all friendly and accommodating 🥰
Awesome instructors, beautiful safe experience, would do again
It was perfect! So much fun and very good guide so definitely do it if you have the opportunity
Enorm leuke ervaring. Het personeel is aardig. Fijn dat het personeel ook de foto's heeft gemaakt.
