Turn Osaka into your own private racecourse

Rosanna_L, Apr 2024

Satisfy your need for speed through the streets of Osaka with this experience! Ray, our guide, led our small team of costumed racers along broad boulevards, tight alleys and busting metropolitan thoroughfares. The experience brought Osaka alive for our crew and Ray took care to ensure everyone was safe and had an amazing time. Plus, he took great action photos of each driver! A can't-miss activity when you're in the Land of the Rising Sun!

Great Fun!

Kent_B, Aug 2019

Thank you @streetkart_osaka for a great day. What a fun and unique way to see the city. Even during the middle of a very hot day... the ride was very comfortable. And we felt like rockstars with so many people waving and taking pictures. It’s not just for the young crowd either!!!

incredibly fun and surprisingly easy!

This was a highlight of our family trip to Japan-- tons of fun, totally recommend the hassle of getting the International Drivers License.
