Naha Go Kart

A Naha go-kart experience is an exciting way to see Okinawa's capital city from a different perspective. If you're staying in Naha and want something more adventurous than traditional sightseeing, a street go-kart tour can add a memorable driving experience to your itinerary.

Explore Naha From the Road

Naha is the gateway to Okinawa for many international visitors. The city combines historic attractions, shopping streets, restaurants and easy access to southern Okinawa.

A go-kart experience allows eligible drivers to experience the city and surrounding areas from the road while enjoying the tropical atmosphere of Okinawa.

Who Can Drive a Go Kart in Naha?

Because these experiences use public roads, participants must meet Japan's driving requirements.

For most international visitors, this means carrying an appropriate International Driving Permit issued under the 1949 Geneva Convention. Japan also has special rules for certain foreign licences, including licences from Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Monaco and Taiwan, where an approved Japanese translation may be used.

Always check the requirements applicable to your licence before travelling.

For a detailed explanation, read Okinawa Go-Kart Licence Requirements.

How to Build a Naha Activity Day

A simple itinerary could combine a morning sightseeing activity with shopping and lunch, followed by a go-kart experience later in the day.

Before you book

Check Your Documents First

Don't leave driving-document checks until the day of your activity. Japan's rules are specific, and an IDP issued under a different international convention may not be accepted.

Our 1949 IDP Guide explains what the 1949 Geneva Convention IDP means and what international visitors should check.
