Tokyo Rickshaw Unveils Special Limited Edition Ride

To commemorate the 10th anniversary of popular creator Yuji Nishimura, the Tokyo Rickshaw company, operated by Rise Up Co., Ltd., has announced an exciting special event. From December 29 to 30, 2025, Tokyo Rickshaw will offer a limited edition human-powered rickshaw, uniquely decorated to celebrate this milestone anniversary.

This special initiative is organized in conjunction with a two-day anniversary celebration of Yuji Nishimura, held at Hanayashiki and Han Theatre in Asakusa. Beginning December 13, 2025, reservations for this exclusive ride can be made through the official Tokyo Rickshaw website.

Creating Unforgettable Memories

The collaboration aims to merge Yuji Nishimura's vibrant characters from Studio UG with the traditional culture of the human-powered rickshaw. The goal is to provide fans with a one-of-a-kind experience that they will cherish. Knowledgeable rickshaw pullers will guide you on a unique journey through the streets of Asakusa, making stops at locations associated with Studio UG's beloved characters.

Special Features of the Studio UG Rickshaw

The premium ride, which is available only through advance reservations, will accommodate a limited number of guests—36 slots, allowing a maximum of 72 participants over the two days. The rickshaw features full-body wraps adorned with key visuals celebrating Yuji's 10 years of creative work. The carefully planned route includes significant stops such as Tanuki Street—named after one of Studio UG's characters—and Orange Street, which symbolizes the anniversary's signature color. Visitors can expect an intimate exploration of Asakusa’s picturesque alleyways, away from the usual hustle and bustle of the area.
