A Comfortable Way to Explore Historic Tokyo

A rickshaw ride through Asakusa offers a relaxing and immersive way to experience Tokyo’s culture. As your guide lifts the rickshaw, you’ll immediately feel the pace shift—slower, quieter, and more focused on your surroundings.

In the warmer months, you’re protected by a canopy. In winter, blankets keep you warm. This is a stress-free option for guests who want to enjoy sightseeing without walking—especially convenient for families, travelers with bags, or those looking for a slower, more thoughtful experience.

See Asakusa from a Unique Viewpoint

From the elevated seat of the rickshaw, even familiar streets take on new character. Your guide leads you through both the major sights—like Kaminarimon Gate and Sensoji Temple—and quiet back alleys filled with local shops and traditional buildings.

This route combines famous landmarks with hidden areas most visitors miss. It’s not just sightseeing; it’s discovering the rhythm of local life.

Your Guide: Knowledgeable, Friendly, and Local

Our rickshaw guides, known as shafu, are deeply familiar with the neighborhood. They’ll share stories behind the temples, details about traditional life, and seasonal tips—such as where cherry blossoms are blooming.

The guide adjusts their storytelling to your interests, whether you want historical facts, light conversation, or photo tips. They’ll also help you take memorable pictures along the way, using your own camera or phone.
