Response to new coronavirus infections and regulations are easing around the world. The number of tourists visiting Japan is also returning to the pre-2019 momentum. It has also become a hot topic that travel spending by visitors to Japan in 2023 reached a record high, partly due to the weak yen and strong dollar. The number of foreign tourists is increasing on trains and in the streets, and companies are changing their strategies. In the midst of all this, the " Jinrikisha" rickshaw heroes, whom Saiga NAK has interviewed before, were unveiled at an event. The rickshaw industry has been struggling for some time, but this new wind in the industry is sure to be a welcome sight.
