The Tokyo Old Town Route is a guided experience that takes you into the historical and cultural foundation of the city, where centuries-old traditions, sacred sites, and everyday local life continue to shape Tokyo today. Centred around the iconic Asakusa district, this route reveals a side of Tokyo that existed long before its modern skyline.
This experience is ideal for travellers who want to explore Tokyo beyond entertainment zones, discovering its history and culture at street level and in real time.
Your journey begins at the Kartzilla Go Kart facility near Tokyo Skytree. After a clear road-safety briefing and simple driving instructions, you’ll take the wheel of a professionally engineered, street-legal go-kart, led at all times by an experienced Kartzilla tour guide.
Go-Karts Built for Comfort, Stability & Confidence:
Kartzilla go-karts are purpose-built for real city driving, offering comfort and control that set them apart from standard recreational karts. Advanced suspension ensures a smooth ride, hydraulic brakes provide precise stopping, and reinforced frames comfortably accommodate big and tall riders. Stable handling makes the experience enjoyable even for first-time drivers.
Capture the Experience:
Each kart offers the option to use an on-board Insta360 camera, allowing you to record your entire journey hands-free. Capture historic streets, traditional areas, and authentic street-level moments from the driver’s seat.
Asakusa & Tokyo’s Historic Core:
A highlight of the Old Town Route is the Asakusa district — home to Senso-ji, Tokyo’s oldest Buddhist temple, and one of the city’s most culturally significant areas. As you drive through Asakusa and surrounding Old Town areas, you’ll experience traditional streets, historic architecture, temples, and local shopping areas that reflect Japan’s cultural heritage.
Live Storytelling & Real-Time Safety Guidance:
Kartzilla’s 2-way radio communication system keeps you connected throughout the tour. Your guide shares live storytelling, cultural insights, and historical context, while also providing real-time safety guidance to ensure smooth traffic flow and a relaxed ride.
