G-KART is an eco-friendly and safe machine. It does not use fuel, but uses gravity as its driving force on the downhill course and controls speed with the brakes. The course that descends from an altitude of about 1,700 meters is full of thrills!
Leave your luggage at the reception, choose your helmet, and you're ready to go!
Take the lift up to the starting point. Feel the cool breeze with the Yatsugatake mountains right in front of you. It feels great!
It was a sunny day, the perfect weather for G-KART.
