Jinrikisha in kyoto

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:

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.

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.

Q,What’s great about the rickshaw?

The comfortable ride on the rickshaw, with your eye level slightly higher than usual, will let you enjoy different views of the surrounding scenery. While you are traveling, you can enjoy the explanations given by our staff and the interesting conversations with them. In some courses, you can visit famous sights and take photos.

Q, Foreign languages ?

We have some English speaking staff at each location. We recommend you contact us as early as possible, as a lack of English speaking staff may occur during busy seasons. Please ask us about other languages.

Q, Capacity?

Each rickshaw accommodates up to 2 passengers (Elementary school children and above).

Q, Rainy and snowy days?

The canvas roof and waterproof cover will protect you from rain and snow. (Forgive us if a playful wind gets you a little wet.)

About EBISUYA

What is a “ RICKSHAW ”?

Invented in Japan in the late 19th century, rickshaws spread to Asian countries where they are still in operation as a means of handy transportation. In Japan they had been replaced by automobiles, but have been revived for tourism and entertainment. They have been functionally modernized while maintaing a traditional design.

User's Review

The guide was very knowledgable, humorous and even took excellent pictures. It was a wonderful experience. If you have the chance, you should give it a try. (Woman in her twenties)
