Awesome Experience - I (F) was traveling solo to Kamukura and decided to avail of the Ebisuya Rickshaw services. I was scheduled for a 10:30 rickshaw, unfortunately due to train delays that day, I asked to reschedule to 11:00am which they gladly granted. I had Satoshi Arai as my rickshaw driver and he was very accommodating, friendly, and informative. As a female solo travel, he not only made me feel safe, he also took plenty of great photos and videos for my family and friends back home. I extended my 1 hour ride to 1.5 hours instead (I would have extended to 2 hours, but I had a schedule afterwards). I would highly recommend their services especially, my rickshaw driver, Satoshi. Thank you!

Charming staff and beautiful scenery 😍 - We had such a lovely rickshaw ride around kamakura and the bamboo forest temple. Our driver Toya was so knowledgeable and spoke excellent English, he was such a charmer and made our trip very memorable. I would highly recommend a trip with Kamakura rickshaw if you are looking for a fun activity in a beautiful destination 😊

rickshaw like a pro - Going around Kamakura with Joichiro is one of the highlights of our trip to Japan! We wanted to see the bamboo gardens and we didn’t have much time to get there. Joichiro saved the day! He got us there quickly and we made it before they closed. +Funny, interesting and took great photos. #recomended!

Best Kamakura experience - Thank you to Tokuro-san, Joichiro-san, Kaiyo-san, Uta-san and the whole team who made our day in Kamakura so pleasant!! From the minute they greeted us everyone was very friendly and kind. Although we had visited Kamakura previously it was our first time to experience the Kamakura Rickshaw Tour and we highly recommend this tour to new visitors as well as those familiar with the area. We were introduced to small quiet streets and beautiful temples which we would not have discovered by ourselves. Our drivers were also so knowledgeable about the history of Kamakura and the Japanese tradition and it truly made our experience special!!
We would definitely love to come back again.
Note: small children ok! They made sure our child was covered and warm!

My 2nd ride and equally great experienced - I have tried the 1st ride at Asakusa and because of the great experience, I choose to ride with them again in Kamakura and it is the same great service provided. My driver was Joichiro and enjoyed his energy and positivity. To all the tourist coming to Japan, do ride the jinriksa rickshaw it is a great traditional experience

Great experience - A couple weeks ago, I had the chance to go to Japan and as part of the tour I was on, we rode in a rickshaw. All of the drivers were really friendly and knowledgeable, and they all spoke some degree of English. They take you around to some scenic sites of interest in Kamakura and help you take pictures. My driver, Ryo (aka Potato) was the best!! He made me and my sister feel super comfortable.

Wonderful experience and wonderful drivers - A couple weeks ago I had the chance to experience a rickshaw tour. I have travelled in Japan and saw them but never had enough interest to go, but I wish I had done this sooner! the drivers of are extremely friendly and knowledgable about the area. Our driver Satoshi did a great job of keeping us entertained the entire ride. I definitely recommend people try it out to gain a new perspective and appreciation for the history of the area they are visiting in Kamakura!

Fun rickshaw ride! - One of the planned activities on our 10 Day Classic Japan Tour with Super Values Tour Company was this rickshaw ride. It was perfect. Not too long or short. It was about 15 minutes long. Our rickshaw driver, Noel, was great. He stopped at various points and took great photos of us along his route. He was knowledgeable, friendly and gave us great service.
If you get a chance to get a rickshaw ride I'd highly suggest it!
