Driving a go-kart through Tokyo traffic in a cartoon costume is about as far from a quiet temple tour as you can get. This private, guided outing takes you from Asakusa past Tokyo Skytree, Senso-ji, Akihabara, and Ryogoku, giving you a street-level look at several famous parts of the city.

I like the way a guide leads the group, so you can focus on driving instead of figuring out directions. I also like the free photos and printed picture, since taking photographs while operating a kart is neither practical nor wise. The main catch is serious: you need the correct hardcopy 1949 Geneva Convention International Driving Permit, and online permits do not count.
