Senagajima by go kart, over the bridge

The half hour the 60-minute Tour does not have. Sea on both sides of the bridge, cafés on a hillside, and aircraft close enough to read.

Over the bridge

Senagajima is a small island joined to the mainland by a causeway just south of the airport. You drive out across it with water on both sides, which in an open kart at kerb height is a different experience from crossing it in a car.

Umikaji Terrace is the white-stepped row of cafés and shops built into the hillside above the water on the far side.

The planes

The island sits under the approach to Naha Airport. Aircraft come over low and often, and low here means low enough to make people stop mid-sentence.

It is also the quietest driving on the Tour — after Kokusai Dori and the coast road, the causeway is open and empty.

Only on the 90

This stretch is what separates the two Tours. The 60-minute Tour runs Kokusai Dori and the airport coast road and turns back; the 90 keeps going over the bridge.

If you are choosing between them and cannot decide, this is the deciding factor and it is the reason the 90 is the one people book twice.

Not sure your licence works in Japan? That is the one thing worth settling before you book.

While you are here

How long are the tours and what do they cost?

Two tours. 60 minutes at ¥9,000 covers Kokusai Dori and the Naha Airport coast road.

90 minutes at ¥12,000 covers the same, plus the bridge over to Senagajima and Umikaji Terrace.

What is included in the price?

Cosplay rental, the guide, professional photos and video. Nothing on that list is an extra.

What happens if it rains?

These are open karts on open roads, so bad weather cancels the ride. If we call it off, you are refunded in full.

Weather is separate and always free: if the forecast is poor, you can cancel or move your booking at any time up to your slot at no cost.

The rest are on the FAQ, or emailinfo@gorillakartt.com.
