We had such a great time cruising round the North Otaru with 山田真生! He's not only knowledgeable, he's simply a very energised & eagle-eyed young man. Chatting with him increased our knowledge of this magnificent Otaru!

We did a 2 hour Rickshaw Tour Of Otaru with Ebisuya. This is our second Rickshaw Tour, first one was last year in Arashiyama in April during Sakura Blossoms. As with our first tour our guide, “Toshi” was amazing. We went around in Otaru in the snowy street and learned a lot about Otaru’s history and it’s buildings and scenic sites. We ended up with the best photos of our vacation, taken by Toshi. I brought a gift from San Francisco for our Rickshaw Guide, last time I had to force our guide to accept our tip. I brought a hoodie with San Francisco, CA logo and See’s Candy. I’m so glad I did because we really appreciate our guide. It was a beautiful sunny day with snowy slippery roads which made it harder for our Rickshaw Guide. Thank you Toshi for a wonderful trip.I an travelling with a friend on a one day trip to Otaru and we highly recommend the rickshaw tour activities to do. Our rickshaw guide, Shota is the best.

I an travelling with a friend on a one day trip to Otaru and we highly recommend the rickshaw tour activities to do. Our rickshaw guide, Shota is the best. Although his English is limited, but his explanation about the area is well enough for us to understand. And he is very kind too. Not to mention, very professional at capturing candid photo. We highly recommend for those who is visiting Otaru. These guys are amazing runners and they bring you to the less crowded place where you get to see the old buildings of Otaru.We (couple) were lured to have a ride on a rickshaw near the Chuo Bridge over the Otaru Canal.

We (couple) were lured to have a ride on a rickshaw near the Chuo Bridge over the Otaru Canal. A young boy took us around for about fifteen minutes with some sketchy explanations. Frankly speaking, it wasn’t worth the price. It was too short, guiding information too simple to truly enjoy the historical background of the region, and too expensive at JPY4,000 for the contents (ride and guiding.) The tour should be at least 60 minutes, but it will be way too expensive at JPY17,500 for two people. Not recommended.Our best memory in Otaru. We've learnt a lot about Otaru from this tour. Our guide Toshi is very fun and informative. Very friendly guy and he took beautiful pictures too. We will never forget about this tour. So, it's a must do if anyone ever visit Otaru.

Our guide was super amazing! He seems to be our age which makes it more easier to interact. He took us to the places that it not so touristy but we still got very nice views AND pictures of course. Overall, I would definitely recommend this and our guide to everyone!
