Awesome experience, it was so cool. Everything i imagined it would be .. Haruki really took us for a great ride throughout the 90mins, and Niko’s a great photographer who captured everything on point. 10/10 experience .. Happy we did this in Osaka. We went through all the main streets, and staff made the effort to checkin and do safety checks on everyone . We were in good hands. I recommend doing the nightime tour cuz that’s when the city really lights up with all the neon lights
My husband and I had the best time with Akiba Kart Osaka! Marin was our guide and he made the experience so fun and easy! We felt comfortable riding around the city and when my husband and I got stopped at a red light and separated from the group he pulled over and helped us reunite with everyone. We went mid day but we wished we had gone earlier because we were able to see so much of the city! Thank you Marin for an amazing experience!
Must-go. Must-drive. Must zoom zoom ZOOM! 🚗💨🔥 Very fun and a must if you visit Osaka. A valid driving license is required. The whole ride takes about one epic hour! You’ll follow the guide car from Namba heading north, then blast back south again. When you hit the main roads, be ready to floor it to keep up with the lead car. Engines revving, adrenaline pumping, nonstop excitement—this is a next-level thrill ride you won’t forget.
A must‑do experience in Osaka! There are plenty of tours to choose from, but this one truly stands out. Our guide, Yumi, was fantastic! You’re asked to arrive 20 minutes before departure — during this time you’ll sign a few documents, pick a fun character costume to wear, and watch a short safety video. Once that’s done, the adventure begins! Each guest is assigned a kart, and off you go exploring the vibrant streets of Osaka. The experience is surreal — you feel like a celebrity as countless tourists stop to take photos and videos of you. Bring your best smile and be ready to wave! As you wind through the city, soaking in Osaka’s incredible sights, Yumi makes frequent stops to capture photos — and not just a few, but plenty! At the end of the tour, you’ll receive all those wonderful memories to take home. This tour is pure fun, full of energy, and absolutely worth it.
Such a great activity. Enjoyed it so much, we did the 7pm slot and it's was fantastic. Felt safe at all times but really fun. So unique. I actually might book again for Tokyo. If you are undecided, don't be it's so worth it. All the staff were so friendly & really helpful, our driver Niko was so good!
