This video introduces the Japanese traditional rickshaw,
which is called “Jinrikisha”. One of the charming points of a rickshaw drive is to have fun talking with the driver, as you can see in our video.
This time, our route took us through the West Down-Town in Asakusa, along the
Kaminarimon, the Raccoon street, Asakusa Engei Hall and the Denpoin.
A Jinrikisha is a cart which is pulled by a human. It was used from the Meji period
until the beginning of the Showa period as a means of transportation.
Two exchange students decide to ride a rickshaw for the first time. They enjoy the many sights of Asakusa
thanks to their friendly driver, who is, of course, fluent in English.
