Jinrikisha, which means human power vehicle in Japanese is the origin of the word Rickshaw. An interesting fact that I didn't know. These Jinrikisha are no longer common in Japan except for the tourist areas. I capture this one near the historic backstreets near the Kiyomizedera, on the east side of Kyoto.
