Asakusa Jidaiya
- Areas:
Staff of Jidaiya
Rickshaw pullers with an extensive knowledge of Asakusa guide you through the narrow yet lively streets of the town. After traveling past major tourist spots in the neighborhood, you will receive as a souvenir of the ride an exclusive postcard featuring a photograph of a Meiji-era rickshaw.
But Jidaiya isn't just about richshaw rides. Other attractions on offer include pulling the rickshaw, trying on traditional constumes and having a memoir photo taken, banging on Taiko Japanese drum, crash courses in Japanese tea ceremonies and caligraphy, and Tousenkyo fan throwing game.
