    1. I thought you might like these! (I warn you, Nikko is going to last a while, however...!) But there are some from your stomping grounds, although none of Skytree, unfortunately! ;)

      No jinrikisha, but U's kei-car is actually very comfortable (although perhaps not luxurious)! Lots of leg room, something jinrikishas don't always have much of...
