Kansai kart courses: 2-day campervan loop (Kobe→Takarazuka→Ikoma→Meihan→Biwako)
2 days, 1 nights ・ ≈362 km ・ 7h 54m driving (estimated)
Toyota put the GR KART on sale on 10 September 2026, stocked at 36 kart courses nationwide. This two-day loop leaves the Osaka depot and links five of the Kansai ones: Kobe Sports Circuit, Takarazuka Kart Field, Sportsland Ikoma, Meihan Sportsland and Biwako Sportsland. All five hire out karts; height, age and pricing rules differ by venue and are listed per spot exactly as the official sites state them (Meihan and Biwako need booking). The campervan stays in the car park outside — the kart is what you drive. Meihan also has a course used by cars, and rental vehicles may not be taken onto it (rental terms, article 16). Nights only at michi-no-eki / RV parks we checked for 24-hour toilets and no "no overnight parking" signs (rest-and-nap only).
