Traveller reviews
SO happy to experience this wonderful rickshaw trip. This is our first time to visit Kurashiki as well as to take a rickshaw there. The whole trip was very knowledgeable and comfy. The vibes of taking rickshaws to travel among the small alleys since the Edo Period in the traditional Bikan Historical Quarter in Kurashiki are just way too awesome! Won't feel the same if you walk! Our rickshaw pullers, Kama chan and Hama chan, did really excellent jobs! They introduced the history, culture and buildings to us while taking us to visit the must-see attractions of the traditional Bikan Historical Quarter in Kurashiki. They also helped to take many nice pictures of us along with the fantastic view and sakura. Kama chan and Hama chan are truly experts - knowing all the details and taking the best photos! It is impossible for us to walk that long and to learn that much about the Bikan Historical Quarter in Kurashiki. However, after only spending 60 minutes, we got everything we wanted. Such a worthwhile rickshaw trip! Highly recommend it to all travelers!
Hama was the best guide. Saved our feet with a wonderful narrated rickshaw ride for 90 minutes through Kurashiki on a warm day in May 2026.
Kamachan made this experience extremely enjoyable. He was informative, very personable, and humorous. It was worth the cost. We decided to do an hour tour and we are glad we did!
Only speak Japanese, but used the translator very efficiently, and the tour was definitely worth it!
We had a Fantastic 1 hour rickshaw tour in Kurashiki from the very knowledgable Kai. He took us to places off the beaten track and explained the history of each area, stopping to take lots of photos en route of us. Great fun, I’d highly recommend taking the tour if you visit.
This is my second time in Kurashiki, and I feel even more attached to its beauty and uniqueness. I'm glad to have Sho Fujita as my guide again. As always, he was enthusiastic and explained everything about Kurashiki in great depth. I truly enjoyed the tour. I will definitely recommend him, especially to my friends, as a guide in Kurashiki. It seems like I’ll be visiting this place again — and Sho Fujita will definitely be my favorite guide!
Amazing service. It allowed us to see many parts of the old town and learn so much about the history. Later, we were able to walk around confidently and followed the drivers suggestions of where to go. All of his tips were excellent. It’s a perfect thing to do first on your visit, so you know where to go later.
My rickshaw driver on that day is "Sho". He is so friendly & entertaining. I feels like chit chatting with a friend. He pointed out historical buildings and shared interesting facts about Kurashiki's merchant past. Absolutely will come again.
