With so many companies out there, some people may not know which company to hire a rickshaw from. In fact, there isn't that much of a difference in the prices involved, so it's a good idea to choose a company that includes the sightseeing spots you want to visit in their courses.

Of course, you can specify other places you want to go besides the courses, but if you want to enjoy sightseeing in Asakusa efficiently and at a reasonable price, you should choose a course offered by a company.

Points to consider when arranging a rickshaw

When arranging a rickshaw, you can get a great deal by arranging it for multiple people!

This is similar to a taxi; the more passengers there are in one vehicle, the cheaper the fare per person can be. Prices vary depending on each company, so please check their website.

There are many benefits of riding a rickshaw around sightseeing courses, but I personally think the biggest benefit is that you can avoid the crowds.

When you walk through a crowd, you tend to get stressed out because you have to keep pace with other people. Asakusa, a famous tourist destination in Tokyo, is always crowded with tourists. It can't be helped if you get stressed out even though you've come all the way to sightseeing. Please enjoy sightseeing in Asakusa on a stress-free rickshaw.

This time, for those who want to enjoy sightseeing in Asakusa that is different from the usual, we would like to suggest sightseeing by rickshaw. Sightseeing by rickshaw is a very popular activity in Asakusa, so we recommend making reservations as early as possible once you have decided on your sightseeing dates.
