Experience the magic of Okinawa after dark with the Street Kart Okinawa Night Tour. Unlike the daytime, the city glows with neon lights and a calm breeze, creating a completely different atmosphere. Drive through lit-up streets like Kokusai Street and along the coast, feeling the excitement of nighttime Okinawa. With locals and tourists watching and waving, you’ll be at the heart of a truly special moment.
Magical Night Views from Senagajima
The 2-hour night course takes you out of Naha city and toward Senagajima, a scenic island near Naha Airport. At night, the runway lights shimmer in the distance, and the reflection of city lights on the ocean creates a surreal landscape. You’ll feel as if you have the whole island to yourself.
Thanks to the mobility of the go-kart, you’ll fully enjoy the shifting night scenery. If you’re looking to experience Okinawa’s nighttime beauty, we highly recommend the extended route to Senagajima.
Record the Experience with an Action Camera
Street Kart Okinawa offers action camera rentals, so you can capture your tour on video. During the day, you’ll get blue skies and city views, and at night, dazzling neon lights and dramatic scenes unfold in front of your lens.
With video, you’ll be able to relive the thrill of the ride and the feeling of the wind. It’s a fantastic way to keep your memories alive long after your trip ends.
