Awesome Experience
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!

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 😊
