Explore the Arashiyama district in Kyoto

Green tea, temples, shrines and much more! Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan, is one of the best cities to experience traditional Japan. The Arashiyama district in western Kyoto is well known for its beautiful nature and temples, and one good way to explore this beautiful area is to hop on a traditional rickshaw!

Rickshaw, a traditional vehicle of Japan

A rickshaw is a traditional Japanese vehicle with two large wheels seating two passengers. The Japanese name “Jinrikisha” means “man-power-vehicle”. As the name suggests, one man manually pulls the rickshaw with their “leg engines”! They were widely used in the 19th century Japan, and although they have been replaced by modern vehicles nowadays, rickshaw services are still available at prime sightseeing spots.
