Driving Requirements

Before you ride

Foreigners driving in Japan must meet specific licensing rules. Please confirm yours below — it only takes 30 seconds and saves disappointment on the day.

Tier 01 · Most countries

General license requirement

Participants from countries or regions that signed the 1949 Geneva Convention must present both of the following on the day of the tour:

1.

A valid International Driving Permit (IDP)

Booklet format, Class A to E. Must be issued by a government-authorized association in your home country (e.g., AAA, CAA, AA).
2.

A physical or photocopy of your domestic driving license

The original document of your home-country license must accompany the IDP.

Only the original booklet-style IDP is accepted. Printed copies, photos, and digital versions are not valid.

Age & safety

All drivers must be 18 years or older on the date of the tour. Every rider attends a short safety briefing and helmet fitting before departure.

Why we check

Our karts are street-legal vehicles in Japan. Police checks happen, and only riders with the correct documents can join the tour. We verify everyone at sign-in to keep the ride safe — and your trip stress-free.

Tier 02 · Special case

Countries that do not issue IDP

If your license was issued in one of the following countries, you must present your original domestic license along with an official Japanese translation issued by an authorized body (e.g., JAF — Japan Automobile Federation).

An IDP is not accepted from these countries or regions.
