Dear residents of the United States and all those planning a trip to
Japan! We present you with a special Street Kart adventure that you can
experience in Japan. Tokyo’s cutting-edge cities, Osaka’s vibrant
shopping districts, and many other diverse attractions of Japan,
explored through Street Kart, will transform your Japan trip into
unforgettable memories. This is a special opportunity to discover
Japan’s unique compact and efficient urban structure from a new
perspective, so different from New York or Los Angeles.
Important: This Street Kart experience is a service limited
to Japan only. We do not operate Street Kart services in the United
States. Please enjoy this as a special experience during your visit to
Japan.
From America, the land of the free, to Japan, the land of omotenashi
(hospitality). When both countries’ innovative spirits and passion for
entertainment meet, new discoveries and emotions are born. Why not
explore Japan’s anime culture so different from Hollywood, and the
streets where cutting-edge technology and tradition merge, through the
new method of Street Kart?
Japanese
Street Kart – Real Life Anime Experience
Japanese Street Kart is a real urban adventure on public roads,
completely different from American kart tracks. You can experience what
feels like stepping into an anime world. Particularly, the ability to
drive while wearing Japanese anime and manga character cosplay is a
special experience unique to Japan in the world.
With Americans’ adventurous spirit and love for entertainment, you’ll
definitely enjoy this “CRAZY COOL” tourism style. It’s guaranteed to go
“viral” on Instagram and TikTok!
Safety is our top priority, just as it is in America. All vehicles
pass strict safety standards and are accompanied by professional guides.
English support is perfect, with staff who understand the American
vibe.
Journey from America to
Japan
Direct flights are abundant from major cities like Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Seattle, New York, and Chicago to Japan. United, Delta,
American Airlines, JAL, and ANA operate these routes, with approximately
10-11 hours from the West Coast and about 14 hours from the East
Coast.
American passport holders do not need a visa for entry to Japan for
tourism purposes within 90 days. Immigration procedures are smooth, and
tourists from America are warmly welcomed.
The time difference is 16 hours from the West Coast and 13 hours from
the East Coast (varies with daylight saving time). Jet lag is
unavoidable, but exciting experiences await!
Tokyo – The New York of Asia
Tokyo is a massive city comparable to New York, but cleaner and more
efficient. Shibuya Scramble Crossing, like Times Square, is more orderly
yet still energetic.
Akihabara is a unique area that seems like a fusion of Silicon
Valley’s tech culture and Hollywood’s entertainment. It’s a place unlike
anywhere else in the world where the latest gadgets and anime culture
coexist.
Harajuku is a fashion district like LA’s Melrose or NYC’s SoHo, but
more specialized in “kawaii” culture. You can discover Japan’s unique
style, different from American street fashion.
Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea have different attractions from those
in California or Florida, making comparisons fun.
Osaka – Japan’s Chicago
Osaka has a history as an industrial city like Chicago and is
sometimes called the “Second City” as well. However, it has a more
approachable and warm-hearted atmosphere.
Osaka’s food scene has evolved uniquely, like Chicago’s deep-dish
pizza. Takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and kushikatsu are common folk flavors
that connect with American comfort food.
For sports-loving Americans, baseball watching is also recommended.
The passionate fans of the Hanshin Tigers rival those of the Yankees or
Red Sox.
Japan’s Four
Seasons – Diverse Climate Experiences
Spring cherry blossoms are the origin of Washington D.C.’s Cherry
Blossom Festival. The sight of all of Japan dyed in cherry blossom pink
is on a scale you can’t experience in America.
Summer is humid and hot like the Southern states, but fireworks
festivals have a different charm from July 4th fireworks.
Autumn foliage is as beautiful as New England’s fall colors. The
autumn leaves in Kyoto and Nikko have a different charm from
Vermont’s.
Winter differs from Colorado or Utah ski resorts, but offers the
special pleasure of onsen (hot springs).
Services for Americans
English support is perfect, with staff who understand the American
vibe. “High fives” and “fist bumps” are totally OK!
Large-sized costumes are abundantly available. We accommodate
American sizes too.
There’s no tipping culture, but for wonderful service, a heartfelt
“arigato” (thank you) is appreciated.
Photography services are also extensive. We support getting the best
shots that look great on social media.
Culinary Information
For those accustomed to American-sized portions, Japanese portions
might seem small, but the quality is supreme.
Wagyu is the ultimate beef experience that surpasses American prime
beef. A5-grade marbled beef is a must-try.
Ramen is completely different from instant ramen. You can enjoy
authentic flavors different even from New York ramen shops.
Convenience store culture has an incomparable richness compared to
7-Eleven or Circle K. Japanese convenience stores are
“mind-blowing”!
Booking and Pricing
The online booking system is as easy as American e-commerce. Pricing
display in dollars is also possible.
For detailed pricing, please check the official website. It’s in the
same price range as Disneyland tickets, but the experience value is
“priceless”!
All major credit cards are accepted. Some stores also support Apple
Pay and Google Pay.
Safety and Practical
Information
Japan is far safer than America. There’s absolutely no worry about
guns.
An international driving license is required. You can easily get one
through AAA. However, Japan has right-hand drive and left-side
traffic.
Medical insurance is essential. American insurance doesn’t work, so
please get travel insurance.
Wi-Fi free spots are limited, so renting a pocket Wi-Fi is
recommended.
Other Japanese Experiences
For baseball fans, watching Japanese professional baseball is
recommended. The cheering style is unique and fun!
For theme park enthusiasts, USJ’s Nintendo World is a must-see.
For anime fans, the Ghibli Museum and anime studio tours are also
popular.
The Shinkansen is a must-experience. It’s incomparably faster and
more accurate than Amtrak!
Summary
The Street Kart experience in Japan offers Americans a “once in a
lifetime” adventure. Across the Pacific, completely different culture
and the best entertainment await.
For your next vacation, why not enjoy this “AWESOME” Street Kart
experience in the “Land of the Rising Sun”? We sincerely look forward to
welcoming all Americans.
Welcome to Japan! Let’s go! ようこそ日本へ！
