Kanto kart courses: 2-day one-way campervan run (Akigase→Honjo→Haruna→Igashira)
2 days, 1 nights ・ ≈283 km ・ 5h 34m driving (estimated)
Eleven of the 36 GR KART courses are in Kanto. This one-way two-day run starts from Tokyo and links four of them: Circuit Akigase (on the Arakawa floodplain, billed as the circuit closest to central Tokyo), Honjo Circuit, Haruna Motorsport Land (on the eastern foot of Mount Haruna, ten minutes from Ikaho Onsen) and Igashira Motor Park. All four hire out karts; Honjo and Haruna need a phone booking, and height rules differ by venue and are listed per spot as the official sites state them. Note that Honjo is also a course used by cars — rental vehicles may not be taken onto it (rental terms, article 16, track days and taster drives included). Park outside; the kart is what you drive. Nights only at michi-no-eki / RV parks we checked for 24-hour toilets and no "no overnight parking" signs (rest-and-nap only).
