Yoshioki Sensei is absolutely amazing! I took this class with my father and we were lucky enough to be the only students that day, so we got a private class. Sensei structures the class so it is informational, fun and physically challenging. I would recommend this class to anyone traveling near Tokyo. It is well worth the trip and cost!

We had a wonderful tour with Yoshi! Expect a lot of walking, a late lunch and beautiful sights. Highly recommend!

Excellent experience. Really fun and well run by all the staff at monkey kart.

Everything works just fine, and the price was cheaper than Disney Website

Really fun activity - would definitely recommend!!
