Human Strength Vehicle



Outside the Sensoji temple in Asakusa you can ride in a rickshaw. The word actually comes from the Japanese word 'jinrikisha', literally human strength vehicle. The men pulling these wear really tight pants that resemble lederhosen, and try to chat up women as well as convincing couples to part with some cash.




Unfortunately they don't try to solicit from people with babies so we'll have to try it another time.
