Overview
The staff, with a rich knowledge of the city, will help make a special memory for your trip. We will take you to see interesting things you would not find in guidebooks or on websites. The rickshaw's speed is faster than walking but slower than cycling, which makes it a comfortable, wonderful ride. Enjoy Japanese history, traditions, and the seasonal beauties from a rickshaw with our staff's omotenashi (hospitality).

Awesome Experience
PlannerJo, Nov 2023
I (F) was traveling solo to Kamukura and decided to avail of the Ebisuya Rickshaw services. I was scheduled for a 10:30 rickshaw, unfortunately due to train delays that day, I asked to reschedule to 11:00am which they gladly granted. I had Satoshi Arai as my rickshaw driver and he was very accommodating, friendly, and informative. As a female solo travel, he not only made me feel safe, he also took plenty of great photos and videos for my family and friends back home. I extended my 1 hour ride to 1.5 hours instead (I would have extended to 2 hours, but I had a schedule afterwards). I would highly recommend their services especially, my rickshaw driver, Satoshi. Thank you!

Dear PlannerJo, Thank you very much for booking a rickshaw tour with us in Kamakura last year! Even though over a year has passed, we are still happy to read your review about your experience and our guide Satoshi Arai. The tour options we offer online are the most popular options, but it is always to extend a booked tour on the spot by 10min increments to better suit your preferences and interest! We hope that the time you spent in Kamakura was memorable. Come and visit us again when you come and visit! Kind Regards, Ebisuya Rickshaw
Charming staff and beautiful scenery ????

We had such a lovely rickshaw ride around kamakura and the bamboo forest temple. Our driver Toya was so knowledgeable and spoke excellent English, he was such a charmer and made our trip very memorable. I would highly recommend a trip with Kamakura rickshaw if you are looking for a fun activity in a beautiful destination ????

Dear Krish, Thank you very much for choosing Ebisuya Rickshaw for a tour through the charming town of Kamakura, including the bamboo gardens and the temple. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that communication with your guide Toya was no problem. Besides studying the history, religion and culture of Kamakura in detail, our guides also take care in expanding their vocabulary in foreign languages to better communicate and be able to share their knowledge and enthusiasm of Kamakura to our non-Japanese speaking guides. Come and visit us again some day! Kind Regards, Ebisuya Rickshaw
A once in a lifetime tour

Joe and Yoshi are terrific tour guides. And the added bonus was that Joe is also an amazing photographer and took pictures that we will always treasure!

Dear valeriep280, Thank you very much for your enthusiastic review about our two guides Joe and Yoshi. We are happy that you enjoyed the rickshaw tour with them. Though they have great knowledge about the area in terms of history, religion, culture etc, they also know the best spots and angles to take commemorative pictures of you on the rickshaw. We hope you will remember the tour for a long time. Kind Regards, Ebisuya Rickshaw
rickshaw like a pro

Going around Kamakura with Joichiro is one of the highlights of our trip to Japan! We wanted to see the bamboo gardens and we didn’t have much time to get there. Joichiro saved the day! He got us there quickly and we made it before they closed. +Funny, interesting and took great photos. #recomended!

Dear Pedrou490, Thank you so much for writing a review. We are so happy to hear that the rickshaw tour with our guide in Kamakura became one of the highlights of the trip! Japan has some pretty amazing things to see, do and eat so having our rickshaw tour up there is an honour! While the rickshaw travels at a faster pace than walking but slower than by car, you can enjoy many sights at a comfortable pace. We are glad to hear that you were able to still make it to the bamboo gardens in time! Kind Regards, Ebisuya Rickshaw
