Relentless Research &
In-House Manufacturing
We offer more than just transportation. In our pursuit of the ultimate ride, we have inspected workshops across Japan and conducted extensive independent research to manufacture our own rickshaws. Featuring a custom-built seat wider than standard models and riding stability enhanced by modern technology. A minimalist aesthetic refined to the smallest detail guarantees exceptional comfort even on extended journeys.
