Asakusa Goemon Rickshaw aims to bring smiles to customers and create memorable experiences through its tourist rickshaw service in Asakusa and around the Tokyo Skytree, where traditional culture thrives. 浅草五ェ衛門人力車は、伝統文化が息づく東京・浅草や東京スカイツリー周辺で、観光人力車サービスを通じて一人でも多くのお客様に笑顔と思い出に残る体験をしていただけるよう努めています。 I enjoyed the Asakusa Goemon Rickshaw tour by myself. The rickshaw driver was very knowledgeable about the history of the Asakusa area and was a friendly, attractive individual. 浅草五ェ衛門人力車ツアーを一人で楽しみました。人力車の運転手さんは浅草の歴史にとても詳しく、フレンドリーで魅力的な方でした。 I would certainly ride again in the near future. 近い将来にまた必ず乗りたいと思っています。

Super fun way to see some Tokyo Highlights for sure. Our first day in Tokyo after traveling 16 hours the day before and we decided to book a 90 minute ride. Our guide was Masa and he was very knowledgable, high energy and also a great phot taker. He shared some history, cultural stories and walked us through the the protocol and history of the Temples we visited. Highly recommend this company as you can see their reviews speak for all their guides. Thank you again Masa!

Do yourself a fav and do this rickshaw tour. The three guides were fabulous super friendly and full of information. I can’t rate this highly enough unlike the Mario cart tour where the guy who wasn’t Japanese made it difficult at every turn a total rip off!

Departure point
outside exit #1 of the ASAKUSA STATION on the TOKYO METRO GINZA LINE (be careful, there are two separate stations called Asakusa Station). As there are a few other companies offering rickshaw services, be sure to look for the stand which has EBISUYA written on it! *Exit A1 is the incorrect exit!!!Return details
