Asakusa Rickshaw Ride Tour 45 min

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!

The following is a suggested route for this 45min rickshaw tour:
With the Sensoji Temple in the middle, the surrounding area is separated into East and West. To the East is the district where the atmosphere of the Edo period still remains and to the West is the Showa-style district. Explore one district of your choosing during the tour. Including a view of the Tokyo Skytree, this tour is filled with highlights. Start your trip at the Kaminarimon, the 'Thunder Gate' and visit the peculiar highlights of the Asakusa area in Tokyo. On our rickshaw, explore the Tanuki-doori (Raccoon Street) adult theaters and historic landmarks, including the oldest amusement park in Japan. Enjoy the view of an Edo-styled street Denpoin accompanied by a short history-lesson, as you return to the Kaminarimon.

The tour described above is a model route. It may further be customized based on your preferred starting and ending point,  as well as points of interests. Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information.
