A stylish day-Ningyomachi / Nihonbashi touring by a rickshaw

[Pampon] April 13, 2015 14:00

It's the end of walking.

 

A while ago, my parents came to Tokyo to play, so four adults, including my husband, took a rickshaw to sightseeing around Ningyocho and Nihonbashi.

 

Until then, I only knew Asakusa where I could ride a rickshaw in Tokyo, but I happened to discover a rickshaw sightseeing at "Discovery Edo Shitamachi" on the website of the Royal Park Hotel where my parents stayed!

 

The course we were guided by was

[Start] Royal Park Hotel → Matsushima Shrine → The statue of Benkei in the Kanjin Book → Meijiza → Suitengu (Kamiya) → amazake Yokocho → Koami Shrine → Nihonbashi

→Main Building of the Bank of Japan → Mitsui Main Building → Cored Muromachi [Goal]

That's right.

 

We had a total of 10 locations, including two Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods, in about 60 minutes.

A vigorous carman at each spot will guide you carefully with interesting episodes.

It was a day when amazake could fully enjoy the streets full of Edo atmosphere!

According to what I heard, the birthplace of the rickshaw is Nihonbashi.

It was a "smart" to go around this area related to rickshaws by rickshaws.

If you are planning to stay at the Royal Park Hotel this spring, as well as wanting to go sightseeing with a rickshaw!☆
