Before departure, an administrator will contact you and add your driver information. It's very convenient to contact them via Line. The drivers will arrive early and all speak Chinese, so communication is not a problem at all. The chartered car is also very spacious and comfortable. I will definitely book again if I need it next time!
Scanning tickets with the machine is very convenient. You can also reserve seats for the Shinkansen or Limited Express trains using the machine without having to queue manually, which is especially convenient. Although you can only reserve seats by machine 6 times, it's relatively enough. For the 7th time, you can queue at the green window to reserve seats manually. Combining the Amanohashidate and Ine Passes, there are many people queuing to exchange for the pass on the right side of the train station exit, which is quite convenient and cost-effective.
I made a last-minute decision and managed to secure a private tour for a Saturday. It was a seamless experience throughout. The operator also kindly absorbed the additional toll fees that were incurred for our custom route.
Highly recommended for families traveling with children! Changing flight times is extremely convenient, eliminating worries about flight delays and saving a lot of queuing time. When entering the station, you can scan your child's barcode first to let them pass, then scan the barcodes of accompanying family members, and finally swipe your card to enter. The whole process is smooth and convenient! Exiting the station follows the same process. Just make sure your internet connection is working after you get off the plane, otherwise you won't be able to scan your card to enter the station!
This was my first time using a private car service because I had so much luggage.
The driver was very punctual, arriving 10 minutes early.
He also helped with the luggage. The car was bigger than I expected, and the driver drove very smoothly.
I'll definitely book with him again next time I go to Japan!
First time taking the round-trip ticket to Himeji Castle.
Electronic tickets saved me the trouble of picking up tickets.
I really liked this way of traveling.
It's also cheaper and more welcoming to foreign travelers.
I recommend Himeji Castle; it's beautiful.
It's not far from the station on foot.
