ASAKUSA → KAPPABASHI → UENO → YANAKA
A day of slow travel, small encounters, and Tokyo’s hidden charm.
Move freely. Hop off anytime. Discover what only appears when you drive slow.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
STARTING IN ASAKUSA — THE BEGINNING OF THE RIDE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We start our EV TukTuk journey in Asakusa, a place where tradition and
street life blend into one of Tokyo’s most iconic atmospheres.
Driving a TukTuk is surprisingly easy — just twist the throttle like a bicycle
and you’re moving. With an international driver’s license, anyone can enjoy it.
Tokyo’s roads are calm, organized, and ideal for first-time drivers.
We take Coffret today for a stroll.
It would be best to rent more than 4 hours, so you can stroll on your own pace, embracing fluke.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ON THE WAY TO KAPPABASHI — A RANDOM BAKERY APPEARS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Heading toward Kappabashi, we suddenly spot a local bakery.
It smells amazing. We hop off immediately — no schedule, no rush.
This is the magic of a self-drive TukTuk:
If something looks interesting, you just stop.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
KAPPABASHI — KAMA-ASA, SOFT SERVE, AND A CLASSIC STROLL
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kappabashi is Tokyo’s kitchen town.
We visit the famous “Kama-Asa,” browse knives and cookware, and enjoy
the local energy of chefs and travelers mixed together.
Outside, a giant soft-serve display catches our attention.
Perfect photo spot → perfect hop-off moment.
And when we’re ready, we hop back in and glide toward Ueno.
The TukTuk fits even in small backstreets — stress-free & fun.
Like usual car, you can park TukTuk at those parking slot. If you are nearby, you don't even need to pay! If you see a parking lot guard, you can just hop back in, and go!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
UENO — TEMPLES, TOHRIN-DO, AND CALM MOMENTS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In Ueno, we wander into a peaceful temple space, surrounded by tall trees
and an old-town feeling that slows you down instantly.
We stop by Tōrin-dō, a traditional Japanese sweets shop.
Small wagashi, warm smiles, and the kind of local hospitality
you can only find when you travel slowly.
An unknown traditional house on the way...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
TOWARD YANAKA — COCCIA, ALLEYWAYS & CAT SHOPS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Driving from Ueno to Yanaka, we enter the real “backstreet Tokyo.”
The TukTuk slips through narrow alleys with ease — quiet, charming,
and full of unexpected discoveries.
A shop called Coccia appears; we jump off for a warm drink.
A little further, we notice a store "Yanaka-Do" with cat figurines resting on the roof.
These small scenes make Yanaka feel like a living museum.
And of course — we buy senbei from a traditional cracker shop.
Crunchy, handmade, and unforgettable.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Y A N A K A —
OLD STREETS, AND YANAKA GINZA
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Then we cruise into Yanaka Ginza — one of Tokyo’s most nostalgic shopping streets.
Cats, old houses, local shops, friendly strangers…
This is the perfect place to end a slow Tokyo day.
