My family and I took a rickshaw ride in Arashiyama the other day. I rode with my sister, and our guide was Somei. The trip was smooth and fun. Somei’s English was so good, and he kept us engaged throughout the ride. He gave us insights about the area, was entertaining, and made the trip fun. He kept making sure that we were comfortable. The trip was so enjoyable it went by so fast. Arigatou gozaimasu, Somei-san!

Mr Yoshinori Ishikawa was our driver, we took a 30-min tour ride from Ninenzaka to Yasaka Shrine (upon our request). It was a joyful ride as Mr Yoshinori was a good driver and shared many knowledge and information with us along the way. He takes really good photos and videos too! happy that we tried this service and my mother had a great experience!
