    Rickshaw Gump in 2019 came by our Native American reservation in Gallup New Mexico on Route 66👍 We are from the Navajo tribe and are honored to have met him, he inspires us still.

    Suzuki san. International traveler. 32y/o successful businessman. (He owns and rents out 4 rickshaws. ) not your ordinary "sarari man". He knows what he wants and knows how to get it.
    Misa-chan. 28y/o, manages & assists rickshaw drivers of the Tokyo Rickshaw Co. She works hard to attract tourists to Asakusa. She has taken us around Hoppy st., helped their local geisha by getting her to ride around with JE, Got their local rickshaw Taiko group on YT. A wonderful trait of the Asakusa business community is their helping each other. I guess you noticed Tera-chan giving out discounted cards of local shops to their riders. Rickshaw drivers point out specialty shops ( where to rent kimonos, delicious tempura, drinking sopts, etc.) They even advertised the movie "Asakusa Kid". Now, even local Japanese vloggers are taking note of their Asakusa rickshaw drivers. Surely, their vlogs will stir up interest among local tourists to ride. Let's hope their govt will lift their restrictions( up to Feb) to incoming tourists so they can enjoy the Asakusa rickshaws.

    Wow Japan Explorer! You have become a true friend of these drivers. They are all so much more than rickshaw drivers. You are so much more than a videographer to them and us. I am happy that they enjoy sharing their life with you... and us as well. The drums episode and this video into his life here, are awesome for us all to see. He sees the Forrest Gump movie main character as motivation and inspiration, which a very positive thing, very wholesome. The young lady is so very sweet every time we see her. They are a great example for all young people to experience.

    He is absolutely a national treasure for Japan. I hope all of his future running with rickshaws around the world would be documented by Japan NHK Television. His philosophy on life is inspirational. I find it very interesting to see Misa san and him in the same episode. I don't know if NHK has ever featured a rickshaw business. It would be very special if they do because the world needs to see Japan through the life of these rickshaw drivers. They are the best ambassadors Japan would ever have - hard work, patience, service-oriented, attentive, polite, friendly, teamwork, appreciative... all in one package.

    Humble and Proud is the vibe i get from him , Also he would be / is a good mentor .
    I have always wanted to visit Japan and travel around . Now in my 50's i feel it should be sooner rather than later .
    But being single and disabled ( legs dont work very much ) i will have to look in to it a bit more but your channel is making me more determined than ever .
    Keep up the great video's and content fella .

    He is really positive and fun to watch. But I thought he was a couple with the girl so was surprised at the end when he said he was single. She seems really kind and supportive of him. I am new here so maybe I don't know the history. But I wish them both happiness for their goals.

    so happy that you finally got to meet & hangout w/ *Mr. Yuji Suzuki* ... he's such a cool person.
    i've been following him on *Instagram* for 4 years (since 2019).
    i originally heard about him on another *RUclips* channel (possibly from *Ed Pratt* when he cycled around the world, but i can't remember)
    also, the story of how he meet *Mrs. Otoshi Misato* - & how she decided to join him in *Tokyo* - was super cute.

    Favorite movie of all time. Forest Gump. Sadly I can't run. Bad legs to many motorcycle crashes. But you inspire people to be better. Your a blessing. I grew up on a air force base in yokota Japan in 69 to 73 .love this channel and all of your rickshaw family. Especially love every rickshaw girl you have shown.

I'm sure the writers producers and actors won many awards. I simply commented it was a great movie I 100% relate to the rickshaws Forest Gump. I don't comment to get into a social media debate about the message of a movie. That's the toxic problem of today's society and the internet.

    It was wonderful seeing your series of rickshaw drivers and their lives. To see the inspiration for Misa san and the group he calls family be inspired to feel dreams can be real, I thought is a lasting legacy. Suzuki san, your story is an amazing one and a beautiful one. I don't know if you ever heard from Tom Hanks, but I'm sure he would be very proud of you for this, and I'm sure he knows about it! It is something that you also remind people of, Everyone has a story, we just need to find people who will listen and respect it. Take Care everyone and thank you Japan Explorer for letting me see people through your eyes.

    Suzuki san got inspired by an American movie and its western culture. For many years, he's been running on it with his richshaw, which is from ancient Asian culture.
    He carries that spirit behind and the spirit of richshaw is backing him and keeps him "RUN RUN RUN".
