“Efficient and warm transfer to and from resort”
We had two transfers with SoQ-san this month, between Narita and Mt Naeba. Both times, SoQ was prompt (in fact, early!), made sure we knew where to meet, and handled our luggage for us with care. He was very patient on our arrival in Japan as we needed to withdraw Yen - he took us to the ATM with the most favourable exchange rate in the terminal, too. Both journeys were efficient and comfortable and SoQ-san did not seem to mind the many questions we had en route! We will definitely book his service again next year - so much easier than multiple transfers by train/Shinkansen/ shuttle bus.
