Tokyo Ricksaw Celebrates 100 Years of Komachi Hair with Special Collaboration

Tokyo Rikshaw Supports Komachi Hair's 100th Anniversary

Tokyo Rikshaw, operated by Rise Up Corporation based in Taito-ku, Tokyo, has announced a collaborative celebration for the 100th anniversary of Komachi Hair, managed by Komachi Center Co., Ltd., also based in Taito-ku, Tokyo. A female rickshaw driver from Tokyo Rikshaw has been appointed as the official ambassador for this special initiative, focusing on promoting the rich history and traditional culture of Asakusa to a broader audience.

Komachi Hair, founded in 1925, has established deep roots in Asakusa as a premier wig and hair accessory retailer, including their Beauty Komachi hair salon. Renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship, their products range from custom-made wigs to the largest selection of hair ornaments in Japan, all produced at their in-house factory. This strong connection to the local community is well represented by the founder's great-grandson, Takatoshi Iwasaki, highlighting the company’s generation-spanning legacy.

In this momentous year, the rickshaw drivers from Tokyo Rikshaw, known for their hospitality expertise, will amplify the celebrations alongside Komachi Hair. With the official female rickshaw driver ambassador actively promoting Komachi Hair’s offerings through social media and events, fresh PR opportunities targeting a beauty-conscious audience will emerge.
