Additional Information

Our team, well-versed in city knowledge, will contribute to making your journey memorable. We’ll take you on a discovery of intriguing sights not mentioned in travel guides or online. The pace of a rickshaw is quicker than a stroll but not as fast as a bike ride, providing a pleasant and delightful experience. Relish in the splendor of Japanese culture, customs, and seasonal panoramas from our rickshaw, served with our staff’s distinct omotenashi (hospitality).

Adult pricing applies to age 6 and over
Child rate (age 5 years or under) applies only when children sit on an adult’s lap without occupying a seat
A maximum of 2 adults per rickshaw. Up to 2 children (age 5 years or under) can ride with 2 adults (children have to ride on an adult’s lap)
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. For passengers of size, we recommend booking a rickshaw for each participant to ensure a comfortable ride. Passengers who do not both fit in one rickshaw but wish to participate in a tour at the same time will be required to purchase an additional rickshaw, which may not be available on the date of the tour with an English-speaking guide if not booked in advance. Those customers who do not purchase an additional rickshaw at the time of booking cannot be guaranteed availability.
Wheelchair and stroller friendly
May be operated by a multi-lingual driver, subject to availability; please ask for a driver who speaks your language at Departure Point
Expecting mothers in their first 16 weeks of pregnancy are not permitted to ride a rickshaw

Awesome Experience - I (F) was traveling solo to Kamukura and decided to avail of the Ebisuya Rickshaw services. I was scheduled for a 10:30 rickshaw, unfortunately due to train delays that day, I asked to reschedule to 11:00am which they gladly granted. I had Satoshi Arai as my rickshaw driver and he was very accommodating, friendly, and informative. As a female solo travel, he not only made me feel safe, he also took plenty of great photos and videos for my family and friends back home. I extended my 1 hour ride to 1.5 hours instead (I would have extended to 2 hours, but I had a schedule afterwards). I would highly recommend their services especially, my rickshaw driver, Satoshi. Thank you!
