Explore Edo with a Rickshaw Storyteller ~ Rickshaw Pulling Experience – Try Being a Shafu!
The Sumida River has carried the spirit of Edo through the centuries — from the samurai era to modern Tokyo. Step into the past as you ride a traditional rickshaw, guided by a storytelling rickshaw runner ‘Shafu’ who brings Edo legends and timeless downtown culture vividly to life.
Along both sides of the river, you’ll find scenic spots rich in history and elegance — places where the old and new Japan meet. Let the rhythm of the wheels and the storyteller’s voice carry you through time. This rickshaw ride is more than just a tour — it’s an experience of a lifetime.
