booked an airport transfer from kansai airport to Shirahama, a 2 hour plus drive away so was worried won't be able to find a car charter. The company was super responsive with enquiries, confirmed with me 1 week before the date and driver also contacted me in advance. Very easy communication, driver came early to wait for us, was very polite and helpful, and had a very smooth drive. Highly recommend
We chartered a car from Fukuoka to a hot spring hotel in Yufuin. We first visited Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. Because of the heavy traffic on Saturday, the driver suggested adjusting the itinerary and having lunch at a rest stop along the way before heading to Yufuin to avoid having to queue for lunch. After arriving, we parked the car in the parking lot in the middle of Yunotsubo, which was only a ten-minute walk from Lake Kinrin, which was great.
After purchasing tickets through the platform, I went directly to the station to exchange them and reserve seats. The whole process was quite convenient and without any major problems. I would consider doing it again if needed in the future.
