Travel Photos Series#9-Rickshaw at Kawagoe, Japan

Kawagoe
Took this photo on 9 June 2014 when we visited Kawagoe, Japan for it's famous ancient architectures from the Edo period. Saw this rickshaw driver pulling an old couple along and I quickly snapped a picture of them with the Edo's buildings in the background. This is one of my favorite photos taken in Japan and I hope you enjoy it.

    Hi, is this kind of Rickshaw existing yet in Japan? Very cruel! I do not recommend to ride this Rickshaw as it is torturing a human!

      Hi Fon, thanks for visiting my site. The rickshaws exist in Japan now mainly for touristy reasons. They are mainly pulled around by young and strong men who seem to enjoy their work :-)

    This looks like fun too! Reminds me of my Kyoto trip where I was Maiko for a day & riding in a rickshaw. Hahaha!

      I am going back to Kyoto (after a decade!) in November. Maybe I can give the rickshaw ride a try.

    The areas that Glasgow serves are primarily in Scotland. However, there are many people who travel from other locations to this airport to catch a flight to their desired destination and also check hotel to glasgow airport transfer . The train, bus, car, coach, bicycle and taxi are all options on means for transporting to Glasgow airport. By train, Paisley's Gilmore Street is the closest street near the airport, and is therefore the smartest option to take.
