    There remains a huge disconnect between how the people driving these karts think they are perceived, and how they are actually perceived. For the most part, nobody thinks you are "the sh*t."

      Yes, I totally get it-that’s actually why I interviewed locals first to hear their perspective on it. 😊 Some do perceive it as annoying, while others are more welcoming. For those who try it, it’s a fun, unique experience, but I wanted to be mindful of how people here really feel about it. I’d recommend giving it a try yourself and letting me know what you think

    Seeing a go-kart reminds me of how every Christmas, about 15 guys dressed as Santa would drive around the city.
    Oh, and it wasn’t Tokyo Tower, it was actually the Skytree:)

    I always thought that most resident in Tokyo HATED the go karting people, so this is a very interesting perspective. Thanks for showing both sides, it was really fun to discover.

      Yes It shocked me too. Apparently Japanese are very cool with it. Of course at first they are very annoyed as some of the tourists unfortunately didnt follow the rules and screaming on top of their lungs. But once they see not all of them like that they are very chill. And some of them even like it.

    It's interesting to know that not all Japanese think about the go-kart activity negatively! 😯 Seems like fun! Wish there was some similar activity for people who can't drive to try 🥲

      @@lgainche Great question! 🏎️ In Tokyo, street go-karts are considered more like ‘mini cars’ rather than motorcycles, so helmets aren’t legally required. That said, safety is always a priority-some companies offer helmets or other gear for extra protection if you want it! Just remember to drive carefully and stay aware of the traffic around you. 👍 Safety first, but also… have fun out there! 😄

    do you need license to drive that thing on the streets?

    • @EngkuIhsan
      @EngkuIhsan  2 місяці тому

      @@squakwa2888 Hey there! Yep, you do need a license to drive on the streets in Japan, and there are a few options depending on where you’re from:
      1. Japanese Driver’s License: If you’re a resident, this is what you’ll need.
      2. SOFA License: For U.S. military folks stationed in Japan, a SOFA license works!
      3. International Driving Permit (IDP): Visitors can use an IDP, but it has to be from the 1949 Geneva Convention, and it’s good for a year after you first arrive. Get it from your home country before you come.
      Quick tip: Some countries (like France, Belgium, and Monaco) only accept the 1949 version of the IDP here in Japan. 👍
      4. U.S. State License: A U.S. state license works if you’ve got a military ID to go with it.
      5. EU Licenses: Most EU licenses don’t work in Japan, but if you’re from Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, or Monaco, you’re good with an official Japanese translation and your passport!
      Heads up: Plastic-only licenses or paper licenses without “1949” on them won’t cut it in Japan.
