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!
The price was reasonable, saving a lot of time on train transfers, and the whole day's itinerary was very fulfilling. The tour guide, Nick Liu, from Taiwan, also explained the history of each attraction. He provided excellent service and was very attentive to everyone. I recommend this to first-time visitors to Kyoto who want to see many sights.
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!
Purchase your ticket in advance and use the QR code to enter and exit the station. However, please note that if you choose "e-ticket", you need to register/link your JRWest account, and the purchaser must assist companions in entering and exiting the station in sequence. Therefore, if you are traveling with others, but one person is assisting in purchasing the ticket, it is recommended to use the paper ticket, as it is more convenient for entry and exit.
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!
Simply scan the QR code to enter and exit the gate; no ticket exchange required! Extremely convenient! The train was very clean and comfortable. I'd definitely take this train again next time I'm traveling between Osaka, Namba, and Nagoya!
