Asakusa is a district in central Tokyo that is home to Senso-ji, a Buddhist temple that is one of the city's most popular tourist destinations. The streets around the temple are full of shops and stalls selling souvenirs, food and other items.

One of the most popular attractions in Asakusa is the Mario Kart street racing. This activity has become a popular tourist attraction, as it allows visitors to race the streets of Asakusa in go-karts that mimic the video game series Mario Kart.

The Mario Kart street race track is located on Nakamise-dori, the road that leads to Senso-ji temple. This track is about 1 kilometer long and has many twists and turns. There are also some obstacles along the way, such as barrels and cones, which add to the challenge.

Visitors can race against each other or against the clock. There are usually two races per day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The fee for the race is 500 yen per person.
