Itaru our Rickshaw guide was excellent and an amazing photographer. He was very knowledgeable and spoke good English.
Highly recommend this tour.
Jeffie_K, Apr 2026
We are a family of four including two teenagers, and we had two rickshaws, one operated by Itaru and the other operated by Sho. This was so much fun and I would highly recommend it! Even though it was raining, we were pretty well-protected under the rickshaws’ hoods and rain covers, and there were also warm blankets. We saw a lot of sights in Asakusa and got a lot of interesting info along by the way, as well as many great pictures. I am glad we did this.

Ryo and Taka where the most awesome drivers and guides. This has been a true highlight of our time in Tokyo.

KANSUKE was fantastic. Full of personality, facts, caring and kind. Can't recommend this tour enough. We saw many temples, first bar in Tokyo, the baths and so much more. It was a memory we will never forget.

We had a great day riding on the rickshaw with Yusuke from Ebisuya Rickshaw Tours. He was fun and entertaining and told us many stories and facts about the sites we saw in Asakusa. Great experience that I would recommend.
Lianne_B, Oct 2025

Nancy_M, Oct 2025
Super fun way to see some Tokyo Highlights for sure.
Our first day in Tokyo after traveling 16 hours the day before and we decided to book a 90 minute ride. Our guide was Masa and he was very knowledgable, high energy and also a great phot taker. He shared some history, cultural stories and walked us through the the protocol and history of the Temples we visited.
Highly recommend this company as you can see their reviews speak for all their guides.
Thank you again Masa!

Our tour with Shima and Eike was awesome! Even though there was a local festival going on and it was pouring rain, they made the tour interesting and fun! They were funny and we learned a lot too. Would definitely recommend!
Dana_K, May 2025
Such a great way to cover this very busy area. Our guide, Suyuke, was just a stitch! So funny, knowledgeable, and super personable. He is one strong dude. He suggested a delicious local lunch spot for after our tour.
ingareznik, May 2025
A fun way to see Asakusa area, we visited several smaller shrines and temples, learned about local traditions, and took lots of pictures. A good option if you’d like to see the area in a short amount of time. Our guide Issy was wonderful. Highly recommend.
Debbie_S, May 2025
I took the three hour trishaw ride. It was fantastic but so much more than sitting on a bus. Fantastic time.
JANET_S, May 2025
Very fun way to get an overview of the area. Made a reservation ahead of time and they were waiting with a big sign with my name on it and big smiles. My husband and I are not small people but we fit in the rickshaw. Our driver, who was a former soccer prodigy, pulled us with apparent ease all over Asakusa while narrating the sites and answering questions about himself and Japan. I am happy with the decision to book this
Celine_G, Apr 2025
What a fun way to see around locally and learn about a culture! Our guide was easy to talk to and very knowledgeable.
Puja_M, Apr 2025
Our 45-minute rickshaw ride through Tokyo was one of the absolute highlights of our entire trip. We were lucky enough to have Micchy as our guide, and he was truly exceptional. With many years of experience as a rickshaw tour guide, he brought a wealth of knowledge, warmth, and personality to the ride.
Micchy took us through not only the key sights of the area but also through charming local neighborhoods—including the one where he grew up. It was such a special touch to hear about his childhood and see neighbors waving to him as we passed by. It made the experience feel genuine and full of heart.
What really stood out was how he catered the tour specifically to us. It didn’t feel scripted or generic at all. After learning that we’re vegetarian, he went out of his way to point out excellent veggie-friendly restaurants and even gave us tips on where to enjoy tofu in all kinds of delicious ways. We really appreciated that thoughtful detail.
If you’re looking for a unique, authentic, and personal way to explore Tokyo, I couldn’t recommend this rickshaw experience enough—especially with Micchy as your guide.
Carole_D, Apr 2025
This was a wonderful experience with Kei. He was very courteous and friendly and informative. We were greeted by all the other happy rickshaw drivers as well. We booked the this as our last excursion in Japan and definitely wanting to go back already.

We had a great time on the experience that everyone should add to their itinerary !!!! Taisei was funny, very knowledgeable, high energy & great at navigating the rickshaw. Also a talented photographer 😂
Rebecca_M, Mar 2025
An absolutely incredible experience!! The tour was well paced, fun, and included all of the highlights of the neighborhood and the best photo opportunities of our entire trip!
Kim_I, Mar 2025
This tour took our time in Tokyo from good to amazing! It was by far our best experience there. You get a comprehensive and informative tour of the city. You are treated with respect and politeness. You are warm (seatwarmers & rugs), comfortable and safe. You are entertained throughout the duration and it will exceed all your expectations. We extended our time on the day, without hesitation, as we did not want it to end. Our amazing guide, Takumi, spoke excellent English so there were no language barriers, and his local knowledge truly astounding. You will fall in love with him from first sight - so friendly, polite and entertaining! Recommend Ebisuya Rickshaw without hesitation, and ask for Takumi = 100%

Fantastic way to learn about Japan’s culture and history. Our attendant was energetic and enthusiastic.
