Amazing Kart ISK Maishima Osaka – Fun Go Kart Circuit 🚩
A kart driven by a professional racer has a sense of speed, and I really admire it because it can be integrated with the wind.
But you don’t have a cart technology and a driver’s license, so driving a cart is a dream.
But don’t give up. There is a dreamy circuit in Maishima, Osaka!
ISK Maishima Osaka is a circuit where adults, children and the elderly can enjoy kart driving if they are over 145 cm tall.
It was renewed on February 9, 2019 and you can use it more comfortably.
I’ll introduce in detail how to enjoy ISK, conditions of use, and facility information.
You can drive without a license.
If you don’t have a driver’s license, you can’t drive a car, but anyone can use ISK karts without a driver’s license.
The kart has only 3 simple operations, a handle, an accelerator and a brake, so even people who have never driven it can easily operate it.
It’s no problem to go alone or in a large group. You can rent helmets, racing suits and other equipment for driving for free, so you can wear your usual clothes.
Also, there’s a kart for 2 people, so it is good to enjoy a drive with friends or lovers.
It’s no problem if you enjoy at USJ nearby and go to ISK the next day.

Circuit Course Features
The ISK course has a lot of tires as barriers and uses a lot of sponges to absorb the impact when hit. Even if you hit the wall many times by driving unfamiliar at first, it absorbs the shock, so it is safe for women.
There’re 2 types of courses, the high speed course and the technical course, and both courses are set at a total length of 450 meters.
The high-speed course is available from 10 AM to 17 PM, and the technical course is available from 17 PM to 22 PM.
Both the high speed course and the technical course set a time record in the monthly ranking and the annual ranking, so if you improve your driving skill, it is not impossible to be ranked higher.
The night-time technical course is recommended for those who are confident in their driving skills, and various events such as an hour-long endurance race are held to excite drivers.

In the high-speed course, the first corner from the home straight to the back straight requires the speed adjustment to meet the limit of the tire at high speed.
In the technical course, it is important to watch out for the breaking of the first corner, especially line drawing.
It’s exciting to see it as a course!
