How to enjoy Asakusa 100%

If you want to have a really great day in Asakusa, I recommend it! Kimo Rentals and Human Resource Tours, as well as the car-to-experience are set, so you can enjoy all the courses you can experience in Asakusa. The workforce tour can also be consulted with the workforce to set the course freely, and the Asakusa corner is really friendly in English. The Tsado experience is given by one professional instructor in the old mansion where the cultural property is also designated, so those who are interested in the experience of Japanese culture will be really satisfied.

"I'd like to ride it at least once" but "I'd like to ride it again!" to

At first, my father wanted to ride a rickshaw, so I rode with him as an attendant. To be honest, at first, I felt like I was just going out sightseeing... It was just fun and amazing. I was more into it (laughs) The history and scenery explanations were very easy to understand, and it was not just a tourist guide, but a time where you could feel the history and back story of Asakusa and the warmth of people. They took my photos at the best time, I was happy to see his casual concern, saying, "It's the most beautiful thing to photograph here." Above all, I really liked the personality of Mr. Okuo. Fun and knowledgeable, smiles great (laughs) My dad seemed to be having a lot of fun, and it all told me that after the show he wanted to ride again. I thought I was just a chaperone, but before I knew it, I thought I would definitely ride next time. The rickshaws offer a completely different view from walking in Asakusa, which is much more recommended than just walking! It's a great place for sightseeing as well as creating family memories. If you're looking for a rickshaw, this is a lucky shop! Fukuroya when you come to Asakusa!

It was the best family vacation 🙇

I was taken care of the other day with my daughter. He came to Asakusa for a trip from the countryside and wanted to ride a rickshaw, so he used it. I think it was a great way to make memories because they were so full of people who enjoyed the taste of Asakusa, ate around, took pictures and guided us. There were so many things I realized and discovered that I couldn't know just by walking, and I was very impressed, not to mention enjoyed. The person in charge, Mr. Tokuo, was also very kind and funny, and I thought that a Fukuroya would be good for the next ride. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude.

You can enjoy the city of Asakusa while feeling superiority by rickshaw.

I enjoyed my first time in Asakusa while listening to the explanation of a fun-talking guruma man. The view from a higher line of sight than the person walking is imbued with a sense of superiority.

First Kimono, Rickshaw

The view of the city of Asakusa from the seat of the rickshaw was different. I also enjoyed the story of the charioteer's brother. Hiring a kimono was a little embarrassing, but...
