Make your Kyoto sightseeing even more special with a kimono and a rickshaw
Simply walking through the streets of Kyoto in a kimono is a special experience in itself.
Combining that with a rickshaw ride turns even your travel time into part of the sightseeing experience.
Cobblestone streets, historic townhouses, and quintessential Kyoto scenery.
Riding in a rickshaw allows you to leisurely enjoy Kyoto’s streetscape from a perspective you can’t experience on foot.
It’s highly recommended for trips with loved ones, groups of friends, couples, or family celebrations.
