Tokyo’s famously efficient train network is a great way to get around the capital, but to really see the city, it’s much better to navigate on foot. The perfect method to explore backstreets, alleyways, and all they have to offer. Plus, and perhaps more importantly, it offers the possibility of coming across one of the many surprises that Tokyo seems to continually offer. Like, for example, real-life Mario Kart.
A wonderfully silly sight that was sadly let down by the overly cautious and not in the least accurate way they took corners.

Another picture that goes against the myth of Japan being a “safety country”…
Lee says
Very true. No seatbelts, no helmets and no problem at all!
Coli says
Haha. That is really funny. Is that even legal?
Lee says
I presume so. With a koban on so many corners, they must have been seen. Must be classed as a car, and hence no helmet requirement. Or that’s my guess anyway.
Al says
That’s hilarious! What were they doing, just driving around?
Lee says
They seemed to be. Just driving about and having a thoroughly good time whilst doing so!
Hans ter Horst says
Wow, amazing! I wonder what they used as shells to throw at each other!
Lee says
If they did they’d sadly used them all up by the time I saw them!
June says
And no banana peels? I guess that would be considered littering.
Lee says
No…, another inaccuracy!
Lizzy says
