Overview

Enjoy the highlight of Arashiyama, the bamboo forest, at an unique vantage point from the comfortable seat of the traditional rickshaw. Sit back and relax as your guide navigates carefully and safely through the traffic as you pass by other iconic sights of Arashiyama such as the Togetsukyo Bridge, the river side with Mt Arashi, charactaristic neighbourhoods and townhouses. Venture north to a quiet and traditional neighbourhood along a pilgrim path leading up the mountain. Get off the rickshaw to enjoy the preserved, traditional houses and landscape at your own pace. Visit one of those Machiya houses (Archive Hall) from the inside. Your guide will continue to explain the sights to you as you make your way to the comical and unique Otagi-Nenbutsuji Temple. On your way back to the rickshaw, stop at one of the thatched tea house for a cup of matcha or traditional sweets (optional). Back on the rickshaw head to your preferred finishing location.

Beautiful way to see the city!

Shota was our guide and he was amazing! He made sure we were comfortable in the cold weather and took amazing photos! He also explained the history of the sites and provided great conversations!

Rickshaw Ride

Published on Oct, 2019

Great trip with knowledgeable & very enthusiastic drivers, Syo & Hirasa. For two hours they took us around Kyoto seeing Kodaiji Temple, Geisha Girls etc. The trip was amazing with great photos taken on our cameras by the drivers.

Amazing tour

Published on Oct, 2019

During the past month of march, we were lucky to hire a guided tour with rickshaw in the Arashiyama area of Kyoto, specifically we visited the bamboo forest. The experience was incredible, absolutely recommended. Our drivers Keita, Kyota and Itikaru treated us with sympathy and cordiality. They were very professionals. Their “must” was the quality of the pictures that they took us during the trip. Today these pictures are an unforgettable memory. A highly recommended tour.
