Perhaps you'd like to get in on the MariKart tour of Tokyo before heading to the Tokyo Auto Salon. If so, you can expect to see all sorts of memorable sights along the way.
One true highlight of the tour is the climb over Tokyo's Rainbow Bridge, which rewards you with spectacular views over Tokyo City and a sighting of Japan's own Statue of Liberty.
Many visitors are surprised to learn that Japan has a version of the famous statue on display. It was originally erected in 1998 to honor the country's relationship with France and was made a permanent fixture in 2000.
The MariKart tour takes you to some of the most well-known spots in Tokyo, but it also gives you a chance to test out your driving skills on some lesser-known, curvier side streets. Whatever sort of experience you're hoping to get with the tour, MariKart is sure to deliver.

Some visitors to Tokyo might hesitate to jump on a go-kart to get around town. The city can be pretty overwhelming, after all.
But it's the sheer size of the city that makes touring it on go-kart such an appealing idea for many. After all, spending your days in the subway to get around the sprawling city would deprive you of the chance to see all the sights between Point A and Point B.
Getting around on a go-kart, on the other hand, gives you a full-immersion, open-air experience while allowing you to stop and smell the roses whenever you'd like.
