Meet Our Instructor
Our team providing street kart experiences in Okinawa prioritizes safe driving and creating memorable moments. Our experienced instructors offer attentive support tailored to each individual, from first-timers to those comfortable with driving.
As instructors, we are thoroughly familiar with Okinawa’s road conditions and make appropriate route selections based on weather and traffic situations.

Through our daily experiences, we strive to deliver better service. Our customers’ smiles and safety are our greatest rewards.
Professional Perspective
Advice for Beginner
For those experiencing street karting for the first time, we recommend mastering the basic operations. Karts have a lower vehicle height than regular cars, with different visibility and sensations, so it’s important to listen carefully to the pre-departure briefing.
If you hold a valid driver’s license, you can experience street karting, though requirements may vary by country or region. For detailed driver’s license requirements, please check the official driver’s license page.
The main point first-timers should pay attention to is the kart’s operational feel. The accelerator and brake responses differ from regular cars, moving nimbly with light operations. Starting cautiously and gradually getting accustomed leads to more comfortable driving.
On Okinawa’s roads, many tourists also drive. By following traffic signals and signs and being considerate of surrounding vehicles, you’ll have a safe and enjoyable experience.
Tips for Improvement
Improving your kart driving skills requires, first and foremost, adherence to basic traffic rules. Since you’re driving on public roads, the same rules that apply to regular vehicles are in effect, so prioritizing safe driving is essential.
Eye usage is also an important point. Because karts have a low vehicle height, looking ahead allows you to anticipate your path, leading to smoother driving. Especially on curves, confirming the direction you’re turning early enables stable driving.
When driving in a group, be conscious of maintaining appropriate distance from vehicles in front and behind. By avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration and maintaining a consistent pace, everyone can enjoy comfortably.
With each experience, you’ll become more familiar with the unique operational feel of karts. By aiming for skill improvement step by step without rushing, you’ll come to appreciate the charm of street karting more deeply.
Actively incorporating advice from instructors is also a shortcut to improvement. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Customer Storie
Recently, among a family that participated, we saw a child’s eyes light up saying, “I want to become a racer someday.” Watching their parents drive up close seemed to be a great inspiration. Being able to witness such moments is our joy.
With customers from overseas, we sometimes receive questions about Japan’s unique traffic rules and road signs. We explain carefully so they can maintain high awareness of safe driving while enjoying Okinawa’s beautiful scenery.
From couples who participate, we often hear, “It became a special memory different from our usual drives.” The experience of watching each other drive and working together to reach your destination seems to create new communication opportunities.
For repeat customers, we make course and highlight suggestions so they can rediscover Okinawa’s charms each season. Even on the same route, the scenery and atmosphere change with the season, so you can enjoy fresh experiences repeatedly.
Staff-Recommended Course
For Okinawa’s street kart experience, coastal routes are popular. Driving while viewing the blue ocean and sky offers a sense of freedom, with numerous spots perfect for commemorative photos.
We also recommend courses that pass through urban areas toward nature-rich zones. You can spend relaxing time while experiencing Okinawa’s unique plants and landscapes up close.
The impression of the scenery also changes greatly depending on the time of day. We can propose plans such as driving in the refreshing morning air or enjoying the magical atmosphere at dusk, tailored to customer preferences.
For first-timers, we select routes with relatively light traffic that are easier to drive. For those who have gained experience, we arrange more varied courses so you can have a more fulfilling experience.
We also set courses aligned with seasonal flowers and local events. Please experience routes where you can fully appreciate Okinawa’s unique charm.
Safety Management and Preparation
For street kart experiences, we prioritize safety management above all. In addition to pre-departure vehicle inspections, we have support systems in place during driving and are prepared to respond quickly to any unexpected troubles.
Depending on weather conditions, we may make decisions to change courses or cancel for safety considerations. We prioritize customer safety first and make flexible responses according to the situation.
Regarding equipment, we provide necessary items such as helmets. We recommend clothing that allows easy movement and can get dirty. Particularly in Okinawa, the sunlight is strong, so please prepare sun protection measures.
In the pre-driving briefing, we explain route characteristics and points to note in detail. If you have any concerns, please feel free to mention them during this time. We will provide careful support so you can participate with peace of mind.
Value of the Experience
