A rickshaw ride, a wonderful trip to shrines and temples, wonderful memories, wonderful encounters—I am grateful for everything. 人力車の旅、とても素敵な神社仏閣の旅、とても素敵な思い出、とても素敵な出逢い、すべてに感謝!
I jumped in Miyajima and used it, and it was very good. Older people with limited mobility can enjoy sightseeing without any worries, and the friendly and cheerful Okuo is very soothing. The photos were taken wonderfully and it was a very enjoyable memory. We will use it again. It is really recommended for those who are not confident in their physical strength. Even if you are energetic, we would like you to experience the exhilaration of seeing the scenery from a high point of view of a rickshaw, which is different from walking. I'm hooked.
Kyoko Iwasaki, who was in charge Thank you so much for your support! I'm familiar with the island's history and recommended spots. Miyajima sightseeing became more fun ❣️ She was very beautiful and slender, He guided me powerfully. I had a very good time♪ Thank you for the healing time 😊
I believe his name was Eji. I’m sorry if I didn’t get your name right. But he was terrific, pointing things out along the way to the shrine. I highly recommend the rickshaw ride to the it the itsukushima shrine on Miyajima Island. He also took photos of us along the way. thank you so much!
My first Miyajima, I was going to see only the torii and leave, but I was asked to leave and it was my first rickshaw Ai-chan's fun story, it's been a strong run for half an hour. It was a fun memory with my daughter! Thank you, Ei-chan.
I asked him to listen to the explanation anyway and to make it easy (laughs). Ryoma-san, it was great. I feel like I saw the heart of the hospitality industry. Fun talk caring. It was several times more fun and educational than just walking around. I'm planning to go to Osaka in April, so if the timing is right, I'll ask you again.
Thank you for taking care of me on a rainy day! I was soothed by your cheerful smile! They showed me places I hadn't been before and I could understand their explanations!
It was Oka-chan's best customer service! It was so good because it taught me things that I couldn't understand just by going around normally in an hour course! I want to go again.
Great experience! Our guide Raita was very interesting and funny. We had a great time. My 10-year-old daughter and I even recommend the experience!
