Trainee Yumeka Sakurai (left), 20, receives feedback after a driving and guide tour training from fellow rickshaw puller Mii Suzuki, 24, who is also taking a role as a trainer at the company, around Asakusa district, Tokyo, Japan on June 18, 2023. Sakurai joined Tokyo Rickshaw after seeing the pullers actively promote themselves on social media and, after four months of training and overcoming opposition from friends and families, she is now proud to haul passengers in her rickshaw. “I've watched many videos of women training hard and becoming rickshaw drivers themselves. They gave me the confidence that I could do it too if I tried hard”, she said. (Photo by Issei Kato/Reuters)
