Riding on a traditional Japanese rickshaw with EBISUYA is one of the most popular activities for tourists in all of Japan. Unlike with a taxi or bus, with a rickshaw you can see all of the great secret destinations and explore like a local. Our drivers in their traditional Japanese uniforms will lead an exciting adventure where you can learn about amazing places to eat and of course about the culture and history of the town. It's time to go beyond the guidebook. An EBISUYA Rickshaw tour is a must if you are in Japan!
Visit the bamboo forest by rickshaw!
Start your trip at the Togetsukyo, the best spot to view the autumn foliage or the cherry blossoms on the mountain in the spring. Continue along the bustling main street and feel the change of atmosphere when you enter the bamboo forest, in which the popular Nonomiya Shrine is nestled. By passing on the rickshaw-only path of the bamboo forest, you can enjoy an unobstructed view of the year-round green bamboo. Before returning to the starting location, you will see the rural scenery preserved from the Edo period: fields and a cottage with thatched roof.
