It was a really good experience to ride it. - We took a 45-minute rickshaw ride with a man named Okazaki. Before the ride, I didn't have a very good impression of rickshaws, and I had a somewhat negative impression that I would be embarrassed if people saw me riding one. However, once we got in, he told us interesting stories about the history of Yufuin and about the people who live there in Nara. He was a very nice person, so it was a wonderful experience to start our trip to Yufuin as a couple. I would recommend it to those who want to enjoy places other than the main street of Yufuin. He also took photos for us!

On a golden wedding anniversary trip - This time I used the service as a gift for my parents. The rickshaw driver was very friendly and had a great smile, so my parents were very satisfied. They even took a photo with the rickshaw driver. It was a great keepsake, and I'm glad we used the service. I'd like to use the service again if I have the opportunity. Thank you!

A rickshaw I'd like to ride again - A darkly tanned man pulled the rickshaw with all his might, making for a very comfortable ride. He was a veteran and was great at telling me about little-known hidden spots in Yufuin, explaining where they were and taking photos as we drove. It goes without saying that he was perfect in terms of safety. The plan was a short 30-minute ride, but I was really satisfied. Today made me want to ride again. Thank you, Dai-chan. The heart (meat) was great.

It’s the most moving experience. - It was the most moving experience. Our rickshaw driver, Dai-chan, gave us a very enjoyable tour. We enjoyed the sightseeing, and the photos he took were professional-level, making them truly memorable. It was well worth the price. We will definitely use Yufuin again, as you can enjoy the scenery in every season.
