Kyoto Rickshaws
Rickshaws still ply the streets of Arashiyama in the rural part of Kyoto. Nowadays the rickshaw pullers tend to be university students, working at a part-time job rather than this being a blue-collar low level job. The bamboo grove at Arashiyama, where this rickshaw and passengers is located, is one of Kyoto's best retreats from the urban scene.
