New Meaning to the Term
"Exotic Import"
If you've ever been to Thailand or its neighboring countries, chances are you've ridden in a tuk tuk (auto rickshaw). My friend, Inai san, recently bought one for his own private use. Here are some of the photos I took of it.

I have never seen a tuk tuk in Japan so they are very rare here I think. I remember seeing something similar in the Japanese animation Tonari no Totoro (My Neighbor Totoro), so I thought I would look up to see if Japan used to use these in recent history. I found out that rickshaws (not auto rickshaws), were first seen in Japan. It seems the inventor of the rickshaw is uncertain, but they do originate from Japan. I wasn't able to find any information on tuk tuk's in Japan, but I did find other information on 3 wheeled automobiles that look similar to tuk tuk's that were produced here in Japan like the Daihatsu Bee, Mazda T2000 and the Mazda K360. I imagine that there are plenty of other types of 3 wheel automobiles that were produced in Japan, but I didn't look that hard.
