Found this excellent channel after watching those Japan Explorer vids. Great stuff! Subscribed. 😊

[@PekoPekoBox]

Welcome aboard!

[@simonjohnson2897]

This has given me a new respect for rickshaw drivers

[@PekoPekoBox]

They are so great! 😄 Very nice and welcoming people! And passionate about what they do!

[@dmist24]

your video got recommended after i watched japan explorers rickshaw video who has like almost a million views.. at least i got a glimpse on how they operate this rickshaw business. This video deserves more views.

[@PekoPekoBox]

Thank you for watching ☺️ We we’re actually wondering why our video views were growing, I guess a lot of people got it recommended after the Japan explorers one ! 🙏

[@HanyuuHOLO]

@@PekoPekoBox Can confirm, I also got this video recommended after watching Japan Explorer rickshaw videos. I can tell you put a lot of effort into your videos so I hope you keep up the good work and eventually the algorithm starts picking it up!

[@guachulei912]

Nice to know who is running Tokyo Rickshaw! I have been fascinated by their work when I started watching Japan Explorer's channel! Subscribed also to yours! Thank you!

[@PekoPekoBox]

Very cool! We hope to make more videos about life in Japan!

[@kuyawanseu267]

Woah! misa chan is here! 7:08 i see her in JAPAN EXPLORER youtube channel.💕

[@tugasnake]

She did mention she had previously been in a youtubers video about 6 months ago iirc, so this must be the video she was talking about! Maybe we will see Suzuki in a future part of Japan Explorers series, anyways glad the algorithm led me here, this was a good watch and I got my fix of rickshaw driving for today, lol.

[@kuyawanseu267]

Thanks

[@plumcrazypreston2797]

Rickshaw labor seems so feudal and humble. Humans reduced to do animal work. I think it has ancient Asian origins as slavery for the rich.

[@resolute123]

Is Rickshaws more for tourism or an actual transportation like a taxi?

[@PekoPekoBox]

They are more for tourism

[@SoCoolScience]

Wait so he walks all day and still walks in his free time

[@harukrentz435]

Is it recent phenomenon due to pandemic? Coz i dont remember job like this existed in Japan few years back. I have mixed feeling about this. It sure has vintage feeling but at same time i cant help but feel like human exploitation, and worse theyre pulling their rickshaw on busy streets. Thats dangerous. 😥

[@PekoPekoBox]

This has been going for a while. It's mainly a fun activity for tourists. The pandemic has impacted them the other way around: lost of business

[@funkyjunky6574]

What time did he get home? 11pm?

[@1BoodaCat]

Wow, so very interesting...In Japan it seems no matter the job it is done with your whole heart, you know? I think that is part of the magic of Japan, that there are no small jobs, or businesses, they seem to know that everything is important and all are an integral part of the whole. So I have a few questions...First, I know that tipping is not done in Japan but even for this service? It seems like a lot of hard work! Also, can you pay to have them actually "tour" you around an area or is it more like a "taxi service"? And, do they only work in a small area or can you hire one to go a longer distance? And finally, do they offer english speaking drivers? Thanks for all your videos, especially highlighting the merchants, artisans and working people of Japan, it is a wonderful way to get to know a country!

[@PekoPekoBox]

Hi Jamie, thank you for your comment. Here are the answers to your questions. I dont think this the drivers will accept tipping... But might depend on the person! You can book a tour and they will explain the main touristic spots of the area, give you some shops and restaurants recommandation. Some of the drivers can speak English. Mister Suzuki actually speaks English pretty well 😊 They usually work in a small area but if the costumer ask them to go more fare away it is of course possible (Mister Suzuki told us he went from Asakusa to Disneyland once 😱)
