京都人力車Not far from the Museum of Modern Art, in Okazaki, this rickshaw driver was pulling a couple through the streets of Kyoto.
A very fit and bronzed guy in his early 20s, he kept pace as he ran, head down, up the slope heading towards Chionin Temple.
Most impressive was that he kept up a steady patter of tourist information as he climbed, his torso literally parallel to the pavement below him.
In other words, he was speaking down to the ground - as he pulled - for the benefit of his clients.
And he had them laughing.
Kyoto rickshaw can be found mainly in Arashiyama; the area around Heian Shrine (the area pictured); and near the Path of Nene, which is on the other side of Maruyama Park from Chionin.
