5.00Norihiro Nakamura. Thank you very much. On my second trip to Yufuin by accident, I happened to meet Mr. Nakamura and he gave me a pleasant ride, and I wanted to visit Yufuin again if I had the chance. Thank you very much. Please continue to take good care of yourself. Take care of Yufuin.

4.00First rickshaw experience. I felt that the city of Yufuin doesn't have as many ups and downs as I thought. Also, if you step outside the main sightseeing route, it will be a traditional satoyama landscape. The one-hour course was reasonably expensive, but I had a good time.
Wonderful experience

5.00Although it was a hot period, the person in charge was a young woman, but she was powerful, a very nice person and attentive, and I enjoyed it comfortably. I'm very happy to have some really good memories. If you are even slightly interested, why not give it a try? It is recommended (^^)

5.00I've been to Yufuin many times, but the rickshaw tour was a great experience and I discovered many new things. I'd definitely like to ride it again.
It was a really good experience to ride it.

5.00We took a 45-minute rickshaw ride with a man named Okazaki. Before the ride, I didn't have a very good impression of rickshaws, and I had a somewhat negative impression that I would be embarrassed if people saw me riding one. However, once we got in, he told us interesting stories about the history of Yufuin and about the people who live there in Nara. He was a very nice person, so it was a wonderful experience to start our trip to Yufuin as a couple. I would recommend it to those who want to enjoy places other than the main street of Yufuin. He also took photos for us!
