I work hard to pull rickshaws so that our customers can have fun in any season, but even though it’s work during the cherry blossom season, I can’t help but smile. We would like to help you make memories that only happen once a year with a rickshaw, so we would be happy if you could take a ride on one of Jidai-ya’s rickshaws. [About Word Dango] This is a long-established tea house that has been around since the Edo period, and is famous for its dango, which was named after a waka poem that Ariwara Narihira read while traveling in the eastern part of Japan. We continue to maintain the origins of dango, with its light sweetness and the fact that it cannot be skewered. It is loved by many cultural figures and literary figures, and Shotaro Ikenami, known for his Onihei Hankachō, is known to have visited and enjoyed its taste.
