Especially be careful taxi quick actions for picking passengers.
Cart/Kart is very low seat car a lot of blind spots(Ž€ŠpFsikaku)
than regular vehicles. http://www.signal-net.co.jp/cat_images/keyword/no77_img01.gif
Ž€ means "death/die".

You need an international drivers license. No if, buts or maybes.

You are driving a motorized vehicle on public roads.

In the case of Brazil, it can drive a car in Japan if you have an international driver's license.
Switzerland, Slovenia, Germany, France, Belgium, Monaco, Taiwan is okay in the usual driver's license if there is a document.

It has been written to 02 of the bottom.
In Brazilian police, you'll international driver's license can be acquired.
In the case of Japan, so that the application of the international driver's license in the police.

This is now on the top of my list of things to do while in Tokyo.

My question is, will I fit in a kart? I am 6'5" 225lbs.

I don't mind a tight fit, but I can't fold up too much.

Also, does anyone have any preference between the two companies?

Thanks

I've seen those things running numerous times and they're quite small. It may be too tight a fit for 6'5". They are so low to the ground, they seem insignificant in traffic. They are always ridden very slow and in groups of three to five when I saw them. I would be scared to death to ride those things.

If possible I would like to know minimum height? I am only 142cm tall am I too small to drive one?

You really need a license to drive a go kart?

No. You need a license to prove you can drive on a public road with other road users.

License that unnecessary, it is here.

@ SlickEric
Need "legal" licence of "mini/micro car"

If by Japanses one need "•’สŽฉ“ฎŽิ–ฦ‹–(AT)"
or by "IDPiInternational Driving Permit)" need "B" stamp.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Driving_Permit

This Kart/Cart using small 50cc engine
but not belonging "motorcycle" as Japanese vehicle law.
So cannot ride by only "Œด•t" and IDP "A" stamp.
