Overview

Climb aboard a traditional Japanese rickshaw for an unforgettable view of the Asakusa district in Tokyo. Your knowledgeable guide will steer you to some of Tokyo’s many iconic sites, districts, temples and shrines while illuminating the history behind them all. Enjoy scenic views of maple and cherry trees, gardens, soaring skyscrapers, and traditional businesses. If you’re looking for a carefree, customizable way to see Tokyo, this is it. Apart from the above courses, we have other special course for guests who really want to get away from the city. If you have already seen the crowds and buildings in Tokyo, let’s get away from that and enjoy the view across the sumida river and go into places where you can refresh your mind under the quiet trees and monument of Asahi beer headquarter! We shall go across the bridge to the peaceful area of sumida park and Ushijima shrine where you can enjoy the Japanese garden park and lucky fortune cow shrine.

A must do in Japan

Published on Dec, 2024

Awesome and unique experience. Something that you must try when in Japan. Very friendly and kept it interesting even in the brutal heat.

Seems ridiculous but worth it!

Published on Nov, 2024

Best decision we made. Our "driver" Takumi was the best! Highly recommend doing this rickshaw adventure! Takumi is very knowledgeable and entertaining. We weren't planning on doing this but he was very persuasive (in a good way). It's a great way to see the main attractions in Asakusa before you venture out on your own.

Highly recommend

100% enjoyed our tour with driver Yusuke. Learned so much about the history of the area including a stop at the oldest temple in Tokyo. Highly recommend this company for an awesome rickshaw tour exploring

Beautiful tour

Published on Nov, 2024

Very friendly rickshaw guy who was very well spoken and fluent in English. We had a great time in our hour tour of this area.

Enjoyable ride with Yusuke!

Published on Oct, 2024

We had such a good time on a rickshaw adventure! I was really worried about fitting in a single rickshaw with my friend. It was snug, but we were comfortable. I was also worried if our driver, Yusuke, would be able to carry both of us, but he was so upbeat, friendly, and energetic, that it didn't seem to be a problem for him. He said our smiles and laughter was all the power he needed. He took some super nice pictures of us and I was glad he was able to be in them, too. Some of the sights were nice, but I wish we would've gone by that temple inside the market area. We had asked to be dropped off at a certain area, so we weren't able to see it on our route. But that's totally fine. We had an enjoyable tour! Thank you, Yusuke! You were great!
