"Machi Mobi" experience! Riding on a lodem Nihonbashi tour
In the Yaesu-Nihonbashi area, where redevelopment is progressing, there is a tour around the city of Nihonbashi on a new electric mobility (small electric car) called Rodem (RODEM).
I've been experiencing "Machi Mobi" around Nihonbashi at this rodem, so I would like to introduce it.
The office of "Machimobi" is located on the first floor of Yaesu Central Square, which faces Yaesu Street, next to Tokyo Midtown Yaesu.
Before leaving the tour, we will first practice driving Rodem in the square in front of the office. Driving the rodem is very easy, and just move the lever (joystick) in front of you back, left and right to move in the direction you want. When I got used to driving, I'm leaving for the tour.
The course starts Yaesu Street, goes from the Yaesu area on Chuo-dori and heads for Nihonbashi.
Photographs in Nihonbashi. After taking a break and worship at Fukutoku Shrine through the Muromachi area, turn back. It's a 90-minute tour.
An instructor will accompany you to guide you in detail about famous places and historic sites in Yaesu and Nihonbashi.
For details of the tour, please visit this website.
