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.

Ryota - great driver and tour guide!

5.00Ryota was a very good driver and tour guide! We originally weren't planning to ride the rickshaw ride but he was very convincing. We did the 30 minute ride on Asakusa and enjoyed every bit of it. He went above and beyond our expectations and the ride helped put our 3 year old to sleep so we were able to sit back and relax. He even took great pictures of us, and showed us the spots that were inspirations for Demon Slayer. Because of him, we ended up riding two more Rickshaw rides during our trip-- one in Gion and one in Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. Overall we were very happy and would do it again!
Reo is a great rickshaw driver!!!

5.00Kai was our tour guide, and he was amazing. He made sure to ask what we wanted to see and made some suggestions on how to go about the rickshaw experience. He was very considerate to take pictures for us, and spent enough time on the different stops to ensure that we enjoyed the experience. Kai was very friendly and accomodating. i highly recommend this tour, and our tour guide.
Amazing experience that we highly recommend!

5.00This is an amazing experience!!! Everyone must do this when they visit Tokyo. We had 2 rickshaws (for 4 people) that travelled together. Our guides (Natsumi and Yusuke) took us around the sites and stopped to explain their significance. They were very friendly and funny too!
Great quick history lesson

4.00An amazing experience! Riding in a rickshaw with a wonderful young lady driver offers a fresh and unique perspective of Asakusa. Her enthusiasm, warm personality, and deep knowledge of local culture bring the area's landmarks and hidden backstreets to life. With plenty of great photo opportunities along the way, this memorable ride is well worth the price.
Outstanding rickshaw tour
