  • For safety reasons, we advise expectant mothers not to ride rickshaws in their first 16 weeks of pregnancy. Please consider this before booking.

  • Got your e-voucher? Great, flash it when you get there.

A must do in Japan
Awesome and unique experience. Something that you must try when in Japan. Very friendly and kept it interesting even in the brutal heat.

Seems ridiculous but worth it!
Best decision we made. Our "driver" Takumi was the best! Highly recommend doing this rickshaw adventure! Takumi is very knowledgeable and entertaining. We weren't planning on doing this but he was very persuasive (in a good way). It's a great way to see the main attractions in Asakusa before you venture out on your own.
