Kart Racing at F-Dream Hiratsuka” (F.ドリーム平塚) is a great way to get your adrenaline pumping and test your kart racing skills. Located just an hour from Tokyo Roppongi Hills it`s a popular spot to unwind and compete with friends and family.
F-Dream Hiratsuka karts run on a 200cc engine, and can go as fast as 60km per hr, but since the kart sits very low to the ground the speed is about 100km or more.

Kids must be at least 130cm to drive on their own. Sneakers and gloves are required. Sandals, crocs and flip flops are not allowed. If you forget to take gloves you can purchase a pair of gloves for you or your child at the shop for 310 yen. Helmets are complementary.
