Mario Kart with Street Kart Osaka Shop (What to expect) - booked via Klook!

One of the things my dad really wanted to try was doing Mario Kart in real life. It’s not the official one, but the go-kart experience you see around the streets of Japan. I really wanted to do this with him while his knees could still handle it. ❤️

I checked out a lot of different options, but ultimately decided to go with Street Kart and booked through Klook.

Klook listing! You can check out other things you can do in Osaka too

There are different time slots to choose from, but I went with 5 PM.

Initially, I chose this slot because it was cheaper, but it actually turned out to be the best time (in my opinion)! You get to drive around and see everything while the sky is still bright, then watch the sun set and see the surroundings light up as it gets darker.

VERY IMPORTANT: YOU NEED AN INTERNATIONAL DRIVER’S PERMIT! I actually had to renew mine and go through the entire process from step one. You can read all about it here!

We left my mom at a nearby coffee shop while we headed there 30 minutes before our scheduled time slot.

My dad was very excited hahaha!

We spotted some costumes, but we didn’t end up with our original plan.

insurance was not included in our Klook package, so we decided to get coverage for both of us

there are lockers where you can leave your stuff! I only brought my phone with me

the costume my dad spotted was already taken by someone else

we ended up with Harry and Cookie Monster haha

there was also a video that they told us to watch regarding safety and rules

We were then grouped together, and there were four of us in total for the group I was in.

Phones are only allowed when you’re stopped at a red light! Your guide will also help you take lots of photos and videos along the way.

Some photos that our guide, Miyu, took!

first half of the trip, they were in front

We got an additional lap because our group was ahead of schedule, so we actually managed to catch up with the first group! She said it was because I was driving so fast AHAHAHAHA (well, that was when it was our turn to lead the group LOL).

She had these photos printed out for us as soon as we arrived. Such a sweet gesture! 🥹❤️
