Explore Miyajima Island, often referred to as the ‘Island of Gods,’ and acknowledged as one of Japan’s most picturesque locations, during this exclusive rickshaw excursion. Savor the authentic Japanese experience of a rickshaw journey, and pay a visit to the renowned Itsukushima Shrine, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its ‘floating’ red torii gate. This tour can be adapted according to your chosen duration, commencement time, and ending location.
- Adult pricing applies to guests aged 6 years and over
- Child rate (age 5 years or under) applies only when children sit on an adult’s lap without occupying a seat
- A maximum of two adults per rickshaw. Up to two children (age 5 years or under) can ride with two adults (children have to ride on an adult’s lap)
- While rickshaws are able to fit two adults, each rickshaw is 29.1 inches (74 centimeters) wide, and it is sometimes more comfortable to book individual rickshaws for each passenger. For bigger passengers, we recommend booking a rickshaw for each participant to ensure a comfortable ride. Passengers who do not both fit in one rickshaw but wish to participate in a tour at the same time will be required to purchase an additional rickshaw, which may not be available on the date of the tour with an English-speaking guide if not booked in advance. Those customers who do not purchase an additional rickshaw at the time of booking cannot be guaranteed availability.

Ryoma-san, it's great. - I was walking to the cathedral when I was approached.
Since I had never ridden a rickshaw before, I decided to ride out of curiosity. I was extremely entertained by nice talks, quizzes and sometimes sharp tsukkomi along the way.

Enjoyable rickshaw ride - The coachman did an excellent job and made the journey very enjoyable. I chose the 30-minute trip, which cost 9,000 yen. The price was reasonable and the route was planned. The driver works very hard to communicate with the guests, takes initiative and creates a pleasant atmosphere.

Thank you Kin-chan! - I rarely have a chance to ride a rickshaw, but my 4-year-old child wanted to ride one with his family of three. May 12th. My dad is quite big...lol. I'm so glad that Kin-chan rode with us! He was fun to talk to and gave us lots of tourist information, so I'll come back and do some sightseeing next time! Even though it was raining, it was a fun trip thanks to Kin-chan! I'd definitely like to use his services again! Thank you

It was a fun trip to Miyajima. - As I was walking towards Starbucks, I saw a rickshaw. I had always been interested in rickshaws, but I never had a chance to ride one. This was my first time in Miyajima since my high school field trip, so I was excited. We had a rich schedule that included sightseeing, eating out, and going around the island, including Itsukushima Shrine. I'm not used to walking anymore, so it was really helpful. Thank you for taking me all the way to the last stop, Starbucks.

Entertainment - When we were tired, we could climb the hill to the temple in the back while sightseeing, and the children were very happy. It was not just a ride, but it also guided us and was entertaining, so we were surprised.
We could also enjoy the fresh breeze from the rickshaw.

Excellent tour and guide - Kim was a delightful and professional guide. He transported us through areas of Miyajima that we may never have discovered on our own. My husband and I highly recommend Kim and this rickshaw tour. It was excellent.

First Rickshaw - A family trip to Miyajima. Shortly after arriving, my wife was unable to walk due to the heat and lack of energy. Just then, a rickshaw passed by and my wife begged us to get in.
The person pulling the rickshaw was a cute, small girl.
I felt very sorry.
However, once we started pulling, the strong wind blowing on our faces felt really good.
The directions were accurate and the photos were great.
Perfect score without a doubt.
It was a memorable and wonderful trip.

Quick trip - Very enjoyable trip for 30 minutes. The pictures and locations were some of the best of the trip. It was a very busy Saturday and Kambo guided us very easily and without delay. Thoroughly recommended

Outstanding fun! - Hama’ our ‘rickshaw boy’ is a lovely, friendly fellow who is enormously strong. His English is good and he entertains with insights and humour. Totally recommend this good-value experience.

Beautiful Shrine. - World-famous Shrine in the water of an island off the coast of Hiroshima. You then sail there by boat and have a few hours to visit the island, very beautiful but very busy with tourists
