Slide show updated

Hello and Welcome to nipponcraft.com,

We have updated the slide show on the top page of our website to match the spring to early summer season. These pictures are taken at Kyoto, Nara, Osaka and Yamanashi. Please enjoy the virtual tour.

From the slide show, I introduce the tour cart today. In the past, these types of carts were prevalent in Japan and many people used as transportation within a city. However, these carts are utilized only as tourism nowadays.

This tour cart (driven by a young man) is called  "Jinriki-sha".  This cart will take you around Kyoto with the charge of 2,000 yen per 10 minutes (approximately 1km ) per person.

When you have a ride, it looks like this phot from the passenger seat.







You can find these tour carts at various places in Kyoto and they are waiting for you just like taxi. This company has a branches in Kamakura and Asakusa (Tokyo).

Thank you,
- Ken
