Street Go-Karting Tour

Kart experience through the streets of osaka.

Street Go-Karting Tour (formerly MariCAR) is an activity located in northwestern Osaka. The main goal, driving a kart in Osaka’s streets disguised as a superhero, anime or video game character, seduces many foreigners and Japanese people looking for surprising hobbies.

Big cities in the world never fail to inspire video game designers, and vice versa. Big avenues, typical streets and smaller roads create an ideal frame to live in real-life racing video games, especially kart circuits. Riding this tiny one-driver go-kart, in which the driver can feel the asphalt, happens to be an excellent way to (re)discover urban vertical architecture.

The Street Kart company (formerly better known as MariCAR) offers go-kart tours in the city centers of Tokyo , Osaka , Kyoto and Naha on Okinawa .

Each participant dresses as one of the popular characters from video game, comic or anime . Official licenses were hard to obtain from other small companies. There, they only speak about "Real Life SuperHero Go-Karting." But do not be fooled. The costumes are definitely those of Doreamon, Chopper from One Piece, Minions, Superman, Spiderman, Batman–and even Dingo and Tigger from Disney.

The Nintendo vs Mari Mobility Development legal dispute

At the end of September 2018, Tokyo District Court fined MariCAR 10,000,000¥ (~US$65,881) and prohibited them from using Super Mario-style costumes. In January 2019, the company glued big stickers on each of the karts saying "not related to Nintendo." At the end of May 2019, MariCAR is ordered to pay a second fine of 50,000,000¥ (~US$329,405) to Nintendo for intellectual property damages. The company is also asked to change its name: it renames itself Mari Mobility Development and its kart rental service is now marketed under the name Street Kart. The company no longer provide rental of costumes of Mario Series.

Go to the northwest part of the city, near Nodahanshin Station, to find the company’s store. This is also a departure and arrival spot. The Japanese staff, warm and professional, speak some "sort of" English phrases, enough to be understood. Note that their website, detailing precisely the whole activity, is translated into several languages. Before starting the adventure, which lasts 2 hours, each participant chooses his or her costume and acknowledges rules and code of conduct :

  • Follow the karts’ order established by the organizer (this order changes during driving so participants can enjoy every position, from first to last);
  • Drive in only one row and stop (at road signs, for example) in two rows;
  • Don’t pass in front of others;
  • Respect the Japanese driving code (zero alcohol), and drive on the left side!

The itinerary attracts pilots from the main touristy districts of Osaka: Umeda in the North, the castle   🏯 on the east and Namba in the south. Each point of view gives an occasion for souvenir photos , where each participant can play the character of his or her costume. This activity is totally worth it for kart lovers still child-like in their minds. It is also a good idea for an evening with friends.

Regarding thrills, the kart can reach 45 or even 60 km/h depending on the motor’s power; without a seat belt or mandatory helmet, the velocity is very lively. We highly recommend taking the supplementary insurance Street Kart offers. It is important to note that any accident, even a small one, requires the Japanese police to come and therefore may become very expensive.

Ready, Set, Go-Kart: How to "Mario Kart" in Osaka

Walking along the street feel a bit slow? Getting on a bus a bit enclosed? Then hitting the streets of Osaka in a go-kart might just be the adrenaline rush you’re seeking. Do up your seatbelt and let’s get ready to go!

Already popular in Tokyo , street karting is gaining fans in Osaka too. Just remember, though the experience might remind you of a certain video game, there isn’t a banana skin or mystery box in sight. But that doesn’t mean you can’t go-kart to your heart’s content and zip (at the speed limit) around in a non-descript “character costume”.

Why go-kart in Osaka?

Dotonbori, Osaka

Osaka is a neon nightmare, in the best way possible. It has an incredible number of illuminated signs, giant mechanical crabs and busy streets that’ll make go-karting feel like something from your childhood. While the sprawling metropolis of Tokyo is a great place to explore, sometimes size can work against you. Osaka is comparatively compact, meaning you can see more of the famous sites in a single tour.

During your Osaka go-kart experience, you’ll be able to pass through areas like the old-fashioned Shinsekai and the entertainment district of Dōtonbori . If you’re visiting in winter, the Osaka illuminations will make it especially amazing — we recommend you pick a night tour if you can!

Go-karting in Osaka: How it works

Whether you’ve already tried go-karting in Tokyo or this is your first time in a street kart, the process is pretty simple as long as you have the right paperwork.

  • 2. Arrive at the meeting spot and go through a safety briefing
  • 3. Pick out your costume
  • 4. Hit the road!

Pro tip: For a great rate, we suggest you book your go-kart experience with Rakuten Travel Experiences .-->

Remember though, not just anyone can take the wheel. You must have a valid driving license (see below for more details) to go-kart in Osaka.

What driving license do you need?

go-karting osaka

While you may feel like you’re in a video game, you’ll actually be driving on real city streets, sometimes up to 60km/h. So you’ll need a real-life driving license. The following four options are acceptable:

  • A full Japanese driving license
  • This permit can only be obtained outside of Japan and lasts for one year from the date of entry to Japan and/or issuance. It is easy to get, for example, it can be obtained from the AAA for around $20 in America.
  • It must be issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention; the permit cannot be issued under the 1926 Paris Convention, the 1943 Washington Convention, or the 1968 Vienna Convention.
  • An American driving license with US military ID is also acceptable.
  • A foreign driving license issued in Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Estonia, Taiwan, Slovenia, or Monaco. Residents of these countries are allowed to drive in Japan for one year from entry, provided they have a Japanese translation by an authorized organization. Bring these two documents and your passport with you. Pro tip: You can get your license translated here .

FAQs about go-karting in Osaka

You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers.

1. What about non-drivers?

Depending on the tour, there might be an option for non-drivers to follow on with a staff driver so they can participate in the photo opportunities. Ask when making your booking. If not, just leave the non-drivers at a nearby cafe and tell them to wave as you roll by.

2. Is it safe?

You will be given safety briefings, but this is ultimately dependent on your driving skills (and admittedly those of the drivers around you), speed and style. Osaka’s streets are busy, and many of the road signs may be unfamiliar. It’s recommended you don’t join if you aren’t an experienced and confident driver. Note that you will be driving in a group. You can request an English-speaking tour guide if you like.

Also, helmets are not needed — if you want one, it’s a good idea to confirm availability with the go-kart company in advance.

There have been accidents over the years, including a hit and run with a cyclist , who fortunately was not seriously injured. It’s worth noting that local residents are not big fans of the go-karts at all.

3. What are these copyright issues I keep hearing about?

So, while it’s an obviously great concept, it turns out Nintendo were none too pleased with the idea of go-karts cavorting around with its branding pasted all over them and its characters at the wheel. The case went back and forth in the courts and the obvious Mario-related stuff vanished. At the end of 2020, a certain company lost their appeal — but they were not the only go-kart rental company in the market. You can still book through others.

You can also experience a different kind of Mario Kart ride at the new Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan (in Osaka) , which opened in 2021.

When it comes to the go-karts themselves, they are low, but fully street-legal. They have turn signals, powerful headlights, and brake lights. The karts have a top speed of approximately 60 km/h and can seat up to two people. If you are traveling alone, you will be paired up with another participant.

One of the most frequently asked questions about go-karting in Japan is whether you need a license to drive one. The answer is yes. In order to drive on public roads in Japan, you are required to have a valid Japanese driver’s license or an international driving permit (IDP).

The go-karts used for the tours in Osaka are classified as “mini-cars,” so you will need an international driver’s license or a license and translation to join the tour.

明るくてノリがいいのが大阪!あなたのテンションを盛り上げるグッズとして、ツアー中に着ていただけるコスプレを、たくさん用意しています! コスプレしながら大阪市街を疾走すれば、目立つこと間違いなし!ワイワイ楽しんでいると、時には歩道から手を振られたり、声援ももらえるかも!?ちょっとだけ有名人の気分を味わえます! いつもとは違うアクティビティで楽しみたいオフ会や同窓会、サークルの集まりにもオススメ!

本格的なミニカーで大阪の街を疾走しよう!

私たちのミニカー、通称『アキバカート』は、小さいながらもパワー十分!免許があれば、初めてでも運転しやすい、本格的なミニカーです。 ヘルメット・シートベルトなしで、公道を走れるため、自動車でのドライブとは一味違う、爽快感と開放感を味わえます! 大きな車が走っている真横を、小さなミニカーで疾走するその迫力は、ここでしか味わえないもの。ツアー終了後には、「もう一度走りたい!」とやみつきになる方が後を絶ちません!

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year. I would like to express…

お客様からも大満足の声多数!

たくさんのお客様がアキバカートで大阪を観光されました。いただいた一部の感想をご紹介します!, 想像以上の迫力は遊園地超え!.
