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.

We had a wonderful ride with our guides Buchi and Ori visiting the amazing sights in Asakusa. It was a great way to spend our first morning in Japan. It helped us to orientate ourselves as well as see a number of places that we may not had planned on seeing. Both Buchi and Ori were very knowledgeable sharing in the history of the Asakusa. Highly recommended!

Taku was a magnificent rickshaw guide. He was personable, humorous and very respectful. Nothing was too much trouble. We stopped frequently and he carefully explained the particular sights. It was easy to book online from abroad and everything went as planned. A wonderful experience - thanks so much.

Mum & niece LOVED this experience. Although they felt sorry for their guide who was smaller in frame than either of them, they loved the little tour they had with him & would highly recommend this & their guide (pictured) if anyone wanted to experience this in Asakusa. Thank you!!

I have used car, plane, train, boat, bike, feet, horse, etc as a method of getting around but never a rickshaw. This was an unforgettable experience. I forgot our guides name but she was the only female that day, short hair and young. She was extremely nice and taught us a lot. We felt very safe in her hands and got to see the city in a unique way.

Our Rickshaw experience was terrific. Our guide Masa was knowledgeable, very funny and showed off his talents as an actor.

We had a great time on the journey around the area and appreciated Masa's bi-lingual talents in educating us about the area and Japanese culture.

Thank you Masas. Paul and Patricia
