About this experience

We are glad to have a chance that you peruse our plan.
Here, in Japan, it is very difficult to take a free van type and mini bus type vehicle at the last moment. You might wait for 2 hours in busy time until you get it. Because sedan type taxi can accommodate 3 guests plus 2-3 suitcases at most. Booking appropriate vehicle in advance is must-to-do first.
Lastly, Here in Japan, we are formal transfer company managing licensed vehicles. But in some cases, there are groups that dispatches unlicensed cars illegally. If you book these cars, you might get involved in big troubles.
We assure you of comfortable transfer.
