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.

While rickshaws are able to fit two adults, each rickshaw is 29.1 inches (74 centimeters) wide, and it is sometimes more comfortable to book individual rickshaws for each passenger. For passengers of size, we recommend booking a rickshaw for each participant to ensure a comfortable ride. Passengers who do not both fit in one rickshaw but wish to participate in a tour at the same time will be required to purchase an additional rickshaw, which may not be available on the date of the tour with an English-speaking guide if not booked in advance. Those customers who do not purchase an additional rickshaw at the time of booking cannot be guaranteed availability.

This is an amazing way to see Asakusa in a short amount of time and so much fun! Our guide, Koko, was wonderful. It was wildly impressive how much stamina he and his peers have to carry people through the streets on a rickshaw. We became very friendly and quickly developed a good back and forth which made the ride so much more enjoyable while stopping at Buddhists temples and riding by scenic outposts. Koko is so knowledgeable and passionate about showing guests the hidden gems of this old Japanese town. It was a highlight for sure. We also had our 8 month old with us and he was so accommodating if we needed to stop and adjust. 10/10!

Our rickshaw driver Kazumasu-san took us around the Asakusa area. We saw the former cinema and temple on a hill. He showed us the scene from Demon Slayer (anime) which was really exciting for my twelve year old.
