Rickshaw puller Yuka Akimoto breathlessly dashes down the streets of Tokyo under a scorching summer sun, two French tourists enjoying the sights from the back of her black, two-wheeled cart.
"I don't deny it was extremely hard at the beginning," she said, as the rickshaw can weigh up to 250 kg ."I'm not athletic and the cart felt so heavy." "The first girl who joined was cool," said Tokyo Rickshaw President Ryuta Nishio."Since we posted videos of her on social media, many girls have followed suit and joined us."
The most popular drivers make over 1 million yen a month, three times the national average, Tokyo Rickshaw said, adding that less than 10 percent of all applicants get offered a job. Veteran puller Shiori Yano, 29, with nine years of experience, juggles the demands of the job and her family.
