Overview

Discover Kurashiki the traditional way: on a rickshaw. As a shogunate crown colony in the Edo period (1603~1868), Kurashiki enjoyed prosperity by storing goods and products from all over Japan. Alongside the canals are white-wall Japanese style warehouses and traditional Japanese houses with willow trees on the bank. This tour can be customized to your preferred departure time, ending point, and length.

Fun way to explore Kurashiki old town

Published on May, 2025

Amazing service. It allowed us to see many parts of the old town and learn so much about the history. Later, we were able to walk around confidently and followed the drivers suggestions of where to go. All of his tips were excellent. It’s a perfect thing to do first on your visit, so you know where to go later.

A Charming Glimpse into Kurashiki’s Past

Published on Apr, 2025

My rickshaw driver on that day is "Sho". He is so friendly & entertaining. I feels like chit chatting with a friend. He pointed out historical buildings and shared interesting facts about Kurashiki's merchant past. Absolutely will come again.

Wonderful and Fun Tour

Published on Jul, 2018

We had a blast on our 90 minute rickshaw tour, which was completely in English, which provided historical and cultural area about Kurashiki City. The drivers were extremely entertaining and fun - really super people! We had a great time! I would highly recommend this tour, especially in the heat of July. Fabulous!

The best guide for Kurashiki

Published on Nov, 2015

We came from Taiwan. Although it is a rainy day, Mr.Kubo’s guide was so excellent that we felt it looked like a sunny day. We are very glad to take it again if we go to Kurashiki again.
