Create Lasting Memories in Asakusa – Rickshaw Rides with Ebisuya Kaminarimon

Asakusa is one of Tokyo’s most beloved historic districts, known for landmarks like Kaminarimon Gate and Sensō-ji Temple. But instead of simply walking through its streets, why not create a truly unforgettable memory with a traditional rickshaw ride?

What’s a Rickshaw Experience Like?

A rickshaw is a two-person carriage pulled by a professional rickshaw runner, or shafu.
At Ebisuya Kaminarimon, the experience goes far beyond just getting from point A to B. Your shafu is also your personal tour guide, offering:

✅ Fascinating stories and history about Sensō-ji and Nakamise Street
✅ Secret photo spots with stunning Tokyo Skytree views
✅ Hidden shrines and charming backstreets off the beaten path
✅ Professional photo-taking service—your shafu knows all the best angles

Why Is It So Popular?

Many runners also speak English, Chinese, and other languages, making it a great option for international visitors.
