For a go-kart tour that is sure to pass Tokyo Tower, book Kira-Kira! Tokyo! Tours!’ Tokyo: Shibuya Crossing & Tokyo Tower – Guided Go-Kart Tour, from US$89 per person (checked November 2026). It runs about 100 minutes from Nihonbashi Ningyocho past the tower, Roppongi, Harajuku and Shibuya Crossing, then back by the Imperial Palace and Tokyo Station.

Read the options on the other tower tours: the cheapest one on Monkey Adventure Kart’s leaves the tower out.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before. Documents are checked at the start, and only originals count: see the documents checklist.
The places on a Tokyo Tower route
A tower route is longer than a Shibuya loop because the places are further apart: Shibuya Crossing in the west, Tokyo Tower in the south, and on Kira-Kira’s tour the Imperial Palace area and Tokyo Station in the middle of the city. Most tower routes run 100 minutes or more; AIPA Inc.'s one-hour tour is the exception.
