The driver will help with the itinerary and offer suggestions. The driving is smooth, the attitude is excellent, and the value for money is great!

When traveling with a family, there are old and young people and a lot of luggage. Although public transportation is very convenient, it is still not ideal for the elderly and children. It is really great to directly call a taxi to move between points. It is convenient for you and you don’t have to affect other passengers because of the large and small bags.

The driver arrived early because we had an airport transfer scheduled for 5:00 am. There was an additional fee of 4,000 yen, which had to be paid in cash and could not be paid by card. The luggage was collected once the passengers were seated. The car was quite large, but the elderly had poor legs and feet, and there were 4 of us. The driver asked 2 of us to climb into the back seat. It is recommended that if there are elderly people, 3 of them can sit in the front seat and one person can sit in the passenger seat for easier access.

Our tour guide, Eve, was very friendly and explained the local specialties and local delicacies. After the bus took us to our designated destinations, we agreed on a time to board the bus and were free to explore the surroundings. There was no pushy sales pitch, and no requirement to buy tickets. However, since the stops at each location were short, those who wanted to fully explore Todai-ji Temple and Byodo-in Temple might have been a bit rushed.
