My first experience on a rickshaw. 人生初の人力車

Reviewed by: たれぱんだ

During a business trip to Tokyo, I took my first-ever rickshaw ride in Asakusa. Even though it was morning, it was a hot day where just standing made me sweat, but I received very polite service. I was lucky to have a young man named Shima, who was passionate about his work, as my rickshaw puller. It became a wonderful memory.

仕事で東京に行った際、浅草で人生初めての人力車に乗りました。午前中とはいえ、立っているだけでも汗が湧き出てくる暑い日でしたが、大変丁寧な対応をして頂けました。この仕事にやり甲斐を持っている好青年のしまちゃんが担当でラッキーでした。とても良い思い出になりました。

Ninja Zen Meditation Experience w/ Five Elements Program & Breathing Techniques

A Unique and Fun Zen Experience in Tokyo

Reviewed by: Liam Pohling

Male in his 20s / Germany
I’m currently living in Tokyo on a student visa from Germany, and this was my first time trying out Ninja Zen Meditation.

The staff picked me up at the meeting spot and guided me to the venue, so I didn’t have to worry about getting lost. The place itself was a really cool traditional Japanese house. Just stepping inside made it feel like I was entering a completely different world, which got me really excited for the experience.

The meditation wasn’t just sitting quietly but included unique movements like walking blindfolded and using a wooden sword, which kept things interesting and fun. I never felt bored because the balance was just right, and I found it easy to focus.

There was also an English interpreter the whole time, so I could easily follow along without any stress.

They also gave us a booklet on the “Kuji-Goshin-Ho” (Nine Syllable Protection Method) and an English pamphlet about Ninja Zen Meditation, both of which I’m definitely taking back to Germany as great souvenirs.

I was moved by the rickshaw driver's professionalism. 人力車のお兄さんのプロ意識に感動

Reviewed by: taka

This was my first time riding a rickshaw. I had a wonderful time for about an hour, thanks to the various considerations shown to me. While enjoying the view of the streets, I was impressed by the rickshaw driver's wide range of conversation. Not only did he share history and background, but he also studied simple greetings in English and Chinese to entertain inbound customers. What surprised me the most was the comparison between the Shiki Theatre Company and the rickshaw. I was moved by the confidence backed by his efforts when he mentioned, "The product is Kousei" (I forgot the kanji for the name). I seriously thought about whether rickshaws could be incorporated into employee training. I was touched by his professionalism.

人力車に初めて乗車。色々とお気遣い頂きながら、約1時間、楽しく過ごせました。
街並みを眺めながら、人力車のお兄さんのトークの幅の広さに感動。歴史や由来だけでなく、インバウンドのお客様に楽しんで頂くために、英語や中国語の簡単な挨拶を勉強されていたり。一番驚いたのは、劇団四季と人力車の比較。商品はコウセイ(お名前漢字を失念)です、と言う努力に裏付けされた自信に感動。
人力車を社員研修に取り入れられないか、と本気で思えました。プロ意識に感動です。

The event held in August was aimed at children. 8月開催はお子様向けでした

Reviewed by: hana

I missed it! This time, there was a guest appearance by Sento-kun from Nara. It was a children's event, haha. The food in the lounge and all the performances were aimed at kids, so it felt a bit lacking for me and my mother. The Noh theater inside the hotel was very beautiful, with great facilities and stage. The restrooms were clean and easy to find. It was the middle of summer in Shibuya, but it was very cool, and we were able to spend our time comfortably.

Wonderful! 素晴らしい!

Reviewed by: れぃれぃ

I invited my best friend to experience Kyogen for the first time. I actually wanted to wear a kimono, but it was too hot, so I gave up. I was amazed to find such a pure Japan experience so close to Shibuya Station! The moment I stepped into the Noh theater, I exclaimed, "Wow!"

Since it was a kids' session, there were many explanations for children, but adults also had plenty to learn and laugh about. From the pre-show talk to the main performance and the subsequent quiz and photo session, I enjoyed it all to the fullest. I definitely want to participate again.

初めての狂言体験を…と親友を誘って行きました。
本当は着物を着て行きたかったけど、暑くて断念。渋谷の駅近にこれほど純ジャパン!な場所があるなんて…能楽堂に一歩足を踏み入れた瞬間「わぁー!」と感嘆してしまいました。
forキッズの回だったからか、子供用の解説も多かったのですが、大人も充分学びあり笑いありで、前説から始まり、本編とその後のクイズや撮影会まで、フルに楽しめました。
ぜひまた参加したいです。

I had a great time! 【Employee Experience】 楽しめました!【社員体験談】

Reviewed by: 匿名希望の旅人

I was interested in the traditional Japanese vaudeville, but I hadn't had the chance to visit a real one, so I participated to get a sense of what it's like. There was an explanation for foreign guests, which allowed me to enjoy it as a first-timer as well. The audience members got on stage to try their hand at traditional Japanese performances and magic, and everyone was quite enthusiastic and having fun. Participating alongside foreign guests was a unique experience that I don't usually get, and it felt refreshing.

寄席には興味があったのですが、本場にお邪魔する機会がなく、どんなものかと予習の意味で参加しました。
外国人の方への説明があるので、初めての自分も一緒に説明を聞いてたのしめました。

It had an international atmosphere!

On the first departure of the day, other participants cheerfully shouted "Have a great time!" which made me feel a bit embarrassed but also happy, and I couldn't help but wave back. There were some mishaps like dropping my towel and my hat, but the person in the car next to me opened their window to let me know, and someone who picked up my things ran over to return them. It was my first time in Tokyo, and I realized there are kind people here.

Although it was a short time, our guide, Daichan, was full of smiles and energy despite the heat. I had a great time. Next time, I want to join a longer course.

朝一番の出発で、他社の方も大きな声で「行ってらっしゃーい」と声をかけてくださりと恥ずかしかったけど嬉しくなり思わず手を振っていました。タオルを落としたり、帽子を落としたりとハプニングがありましたが、隣に寄せた車の方が窓を開けて教えてくださったり、拾った方は走って持ってきてくださりと東京に来て初めて優しい人もいるんだと思いました。

At first, the child seemed nervous about riding a rickshaw for the first time, but thanks to the brother who called out their name many times and said, "Let's go!" they quickly became comfortable with him and appeared to be enjoying themselves.

Before getting on and while taking photos, he was diligent about sanitizing, and they had proper COVID-19 measures in place.

Riding on a vehicle that was taller than cars felt like being in an open-top car (which it actually was), and since the weather was nice, it was very pleasant.

The heated flooring (laughs) was also effective, and with the warm clothing provided, we were able to enjoy sightseeing without feeling cold.

I definitely want to ride again!

Staying in Asakusa with GOTO. GOTO で浅草泊まり

Reviewed by: まーちゃん

I used a rickshaw for the first time. It was comfortable to ride, and I wasn't cold thanks to the double blanket. It was a great experience thanks to GOTO. The inn was reserved just for us, so we could relax.

人力車は初めて利用しました。乗りごこちは良く、毛布の二重にして寒く無かったです。GOTO のおかげ体験です。旅館が貸し切りでゆっくり出来ました。

Dear Ma-chan,

Thank you very much for using the rickshaw service at Ebisuya Asakusa! We also sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your valuable review.

We are grateful that you chose our company for your first rickshaw experience, especially during the colder season. We are delighted to hear that the blanket was helpful. One of the things we take pride in is that our rickshaws can keep your feet warm, sometimes referred to as "moving kotatsu"! Please feel free to use our service anytime, even in the depths of winter.

Additionally, our rickshaw puller, Kazuki Komine, mentioned that he got the impression you enjoy photography and was curious if you were able to take some wonderful pictures. He was very happy to hear you expressed that you had a great time at the end of your ride, and he looks forward to the day we can meet again.

We will continue to refine our photography skills and strive to improve our service. All of our staff sincerely look forward to your next visit.

Thank you very much!

まーちゃん様

この度はえびす屋浅草店人力車をご利用頂き、誠にありがとうございます!
また、お時間を割いて貴重なレビューをご投稿頂き、重ねてお礼を申し上げます。

初めての人力車のご利用ということで、GOTOのきっかけを弊社で活かして頂きありがとうございました。寒さも増していく中でのご利用だったと思いますが、毛布が役立ったと聞き、大変嬉しく思います。弊社の人力車は"動くコタツ"とも呼ばれることがあったりなかったりするほどに足元をあったかくしてご利用いただけるのが自慢のひとつです!
また機会がございましたら真冬でもいつでもご利用くださいませ。

また、当日ご担当させて頂きました俥夫の小峰一晃は、まーちゃん様はカメラがお好きな方という印象だったようで、素敵な写真を撮っていただけただろうかと気にしていました。最後には、楽しかったですありがとうございました!と笑顔で伝えて貰えた事がとても嬉しかったようで、またお会いできる日を心待ちにしていますと言っていました。


私たちも、カメラの技術もさらに磨いて、よりサービスの向上に努めてまいります。
まーちゃん様のまたのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
誠にありがとうございました!

【芸者さん/日本橋催行】芸者とお座敷遊び+踊り鑑賞+写真撮影 日本のおもてなしを東京で体験 <英語対応可/毎週土曜開催/室町>

A satisfying tatami room play experience that will leave foreign friends very happy. 外国人の友達も大満足なお座敷遊び体験

Reviewed by: TAC

A friend from overseas expressed a desire to see traditional dance when they visit Japan, and since I, as a Japanese person, had never experienced it myself, I was a bit troubled. While checking the VELTRA tour site, I found exactly the program I was looking for and made an immediate reservation. When my friend came and we actually attended, the entire program was conducted in a bilingual format, and all participants were able to experience traditional Japanese games, which allowed me to enjoy it as well. Of course, my friend was very satisfied too. If another friend from overseas visits in the future, I would definitely like to participate again.

海外からの友人からの経ってからの希望で、「今度日本に行ったら、ぜひ伝統的な舞を見てみたい。」と言われていて、日本人の自分でも実体験が無かったので、困ったなと思いながら、VELTRAのツアーサイトをチェックしていたら、ちょうど探していた企画が見つかり、即予約しました。友人が来て、実際に行ってみたら、基本的にプログラム全体がバイリンガルで進行され、また参加者全員がお座敷遊びを体験出来るようになっていましたので、自分自身も楽しむ事が出来ました。もちろん、友人も大満足してくれました。次回、別の海外からの友人が来る機会があれば、ぜひ、また参加させて頂きたいと思っています。

Tour of Asakusa's Best Spots by Rickshaw

Tour of Asakusa By Rickshaw

Reviewed by: Bradley

Our driver guide Kuzuki was energetic and fun
He covered some of the local street districts and backward while offering background commentary and some fun jokes
In the quiet geisha district he covered a little of their history and culture
We also visited 2 of the oldest shrines in Tokyo
Behind the Sensoji shrine and a Buddhist monk
Have us an unpected gift on leaving which also seemed to surprise Kuzuki
Pictures were taken in a few key spots and story telling w/ voices and singing occurred on our ride and tour- an enjoyable 2 hours!

Origami Paper Folding Class in Traditional Asakusa

A very nice introductory class in origami

Reviewed by: Jay

If you want to try traditional Japanese origami and learn the basic forms this is a great class. It is also centrally located in Asakusa where there are tons of popular tours sites within walking distance so you can make a day out of this.

Dynamic Traditional Taiko Japanese Drumming Lesson in Tokyo

Total beginners to enthusiastic thumpers

Reviewed by: Kirrily

Our family of four (two older teenagers) loved this experience. We were in a class with a number of experienced drummers practicing for a performance. They were practicing particular parts and we could just join in with the basic skills we learnt in the hour and a half without disturbing their practice too much. It meant we could really get the feel of the breadth and complexity and skill involved but we didn’t feel useless. Our instructor spoke enough English to convey the things needed (we have no Japanese so we’re very grateful) and was really enthusiastic and welcoming. It’s just a small random studio in a random street but the instructions to find it worked. We finished with a “competition” between ourselves about who could drum the loudest. Really great fun!!

Origami Paper Folding Class in Traditional Asakusa

Good but too short

Reviewed by: Colin

We paid for an hour long class, but the class only went for 30 mins and we only made one thing. A bit disappointing with our 10 year old girl who was so excited. The woman was nice, but this was not worth $USD 28 per person at all. Overall disappointing.
