Rickshaw rides in Arashiyama provide a traditional way to explore the area, with drivers pulling visitors through popular spots like the Bamboo Grove and Togetsukyo Bridge. While the experience offers a unique perspective, it can be quite costly compared to other ways of exploring Arashiyama. Short rides last just 10–15 minutes, and extended routes, while covering more ground, can be expensive for families or groups. Additionally, the ride is dependent on weather conditions, and the limited seating may not accommodate larger parties. While rickshaw rides may suit those seeking novelty, most visitors find exploring Arashiyama on foot or with guided tours to be more flexible and cost-effective.
