Unsafe and unapologetic- I had the worst experience of my entire Japan trip- an otherwise amazing experience filled with laughter and kindness.
First, I want to say that the female tour guide was lovely—friendly and professional. Unfortunately, that was the only positive part of the experience.
The go-kart I was assigned (vehicle 2007) was clearly unsafe. It was extremely unstable and constantly swerved from left to right, making it very difficult to control. This is especially dangerous given that you are driving on public roads alongside cars and pedestrians. I spent the entire tour feeling anxious rather than enjoying the experience.
What’s even more troubling is that when I raised the issue, one of the male guides casually said, “yes, that’s the shaky one,” which clearly indicates the company was already aware that this kart had a mechanical problem. Despite this, they still allowed customers to use it.
After the tour, I raised my concerns and requested some form of compensation, as the experience was not enjoyable due and unsafe. The company refused. In fact the owner refused to provide his name, did not apologize, and dismissed the situation by saying that from his perspective the tour was completed, it was therefore “successful.” When I pointed out that it was only “successful” because I managed to avoid an accident, he simply agreed—showing a complete lack of responsibility and customer care.
Even more concerning, as I was leaving, I noticed that the same faulty vehicle was not removed from use for the next group. I had to personally warn another customer not to get into it.
This experience showed a serious disregard for customer safety and very poor customer service. I cannot recommend this company to anyone.

Make sure you get your IDP (international Driver/ing Permit) before you leave your country of origin. If you’re already in Japan and don’t have an IDP, DO NOT BOOK.
Heaps of websites will tell you how to get an IDP in Japan. You can’t.
Otherwise, monster carts was very hospitable and gave me two t-shirts for my troubles.

This experience was a lot of fun. Hara and his team make sure we understand how to ride the go kart guided us through the streets of Tokyo. The ride was a lot of fun. We felt very safe riding the cars as Hara and his partner were driving with us. They took their time and made sure this was a fabulous experience. I highly recommend anyone visiting Tokyo to take this tour as it will be one of the best experiences you will have. Thank you ❤️
