Yesterday,I visited Mr.Soujiro's garage of Jinrikisha.He is finishing restoring a Rin-taku.
Do you know Rin-taku? The word fo rin means bycycle and taku means taxi.Well,Rintaku is a taxi pulled by bycycle in old days!
Indeed,the bycycle was made about 60 years ago.And this Rin-taku had been used by a some rich business man.
After finishing the restorement, I tried to ride in it,of course,being pulled by the bycycle of Mr.Soujiro's riding.
Riding feel was very calm without vibration that I had imaged,indeed,very enjoyable.And many peple were surprized to see the Rin-taku.
Thouh they hardly saw into the Rin-taku,I could see them from the window.
The twilight of Asakusa from the window of the Rin-taku was very beatilul with nostalgie,I felt myself sa a rich businessman in good and old days.
Mr.Soujiro is also managing the museum of historical viecles in Asakusa central hotel.
So,whenever you go,you can see the Rin-taku.
