The vehicles are simple to drive. You'll train on the vehicle and route before your first tour.

What you'll do

  • Lead tours on small open-air EVs and keep everyone safe
  • Share Miura's history and culture at each stop
  • Help guests take photos on their phones
  • Light cleaning of vehicles and our base

If you're interested, you can also help with social media and drone filming.
