    I've been to Japan many times, but this was my first time in Asakusa. The rickshaw service at Jidaiya was fantastic—super friendly staff. Highly recommend! 👍

  • The rickshaw puller shared stories about the streets and sightseeing spots in Asakusa. I really recommend wearing a kimono when you ride the rickshaw—it lets you experience Japanese culture on a deeper level!
