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.

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.

Those customers who do not purchase an additional rickshaw at the time of booking cannot be guaranteed availability.

5.00Super fun way to see some Tokyo Highlights for sure. Our first day in Tokyo after traveling 16 hours the day before and we decided to book a 90 minute ride. Our guide was Masa and he was very knowledgable, high energy and also a great phot taker. He shared some history, cultural stories and walked us through the the protocol and history of the Temples we visited. Highly recommend this company as you can see their reviews speak for all their guides. Thank you again Masa!
