Mario Kart Madness

Mario Kart madness in Tokyo: a gamer's dream come true 

For anyone visiting a ski resort in Japan, spending a couple of days in Tokyo is a must. While you're there why not experience the thrill of real-life Mario Kart - a dream come true for any gamer! Imagine this: cruising through the bustling streets of Shinjuku, Shibuya and Asakusa in a go-kart, dressed as if you stepped out of Super Mario World. 

Upon arrival at pit lane, you'll suit as you'll suit up as your favourite character - whether it's Mario, Princess Peach or even Pikachu, whiler receiving a briefing on the rules and safety precautions. After a few practice spins, you'll put on your helmet, rev your engine, and feel the excitement and nerves build as you prepare to hit the streets. 

During the tour, your instructor will guide you through some of Tokyo's most iconic districts while spotting some famous sites. From the gamer and anime paradise of Akihabra to the historic streets of Asakusa, you'll marvel at the Tokyo Skytree and become a spectacle at Shibuya Crossing, where tourists and locals will wave and snap photos. Rest assured, your tour guide will capture the best moment at every stoplight, ensuring you have unforgettable memories of this epic journey. 

You can also rent a GoPro to capture all the action, as holding your phone while driving is strictly prohibited - just like in a real car. This incredible experience bridges the gap between virtual gaming and real-world exploration. As you weave through traffic (make sure you keep up with the guide to avoid getting stuck between a bus and a taxi - safely, of course) and wave at pedestrians, you'll truly feel like a star in your own Mario Kart race. 

The thrill of racing through the streets of Tokyo is something you won't soon forget. This fun and exciting two-hour blends gaming with real-world exploration. So, if you ever find yourself in Tokyo and seeking an unforgettable adventure, consider stepping into the world of Mario Kart.
