A '''{{Nihongo|kago|輿|}}''' is a Japanese type of [[sedan chair]], suspended by a single crossbeam, carried by two men, usually used to transport one person at a time. The front and back of the ''kago'' is always covered; the sides can be left open, or encased by folding screens. This should not be confused with the more elaborate ''[[koshi (vehicule)|koshi]]''.
