Do it! You will love it.
This was truly a bucket list type of experience. My husband and I easily found the meet location. There was a vast selection of costume onesies to wear during the ride. The training was educational and quickly prepared us to ride the go karts on the roads of Tokyo. Doing the night time frame was the best selection. The lights of the city made the experience feel like I was living in a movie. I cannot recommend the experience more. Our Guide Manuel was funny and snapped great pictures of the group throughout the ride.
