Highly recommend

For our daily trip to Shimonoseki we booked two taxies. The drivers wait for us in cruise port on time ( I think they were there much more before time ) and we found them very easy. Both of them are very kind and nice and give us some guidelines on sites we visited which was very helpful and much more that we expected. We understand each other very well although they don't speak English and we don't speak Japanese . My very, very warm recommendation for this service. You are wonderful people. Thank you once again.

Professional and flexible

Higa-san was our driver for 2 days and she provided excellent service assisting with navigating the tricky roads within and outside of Naha. We were able to fill the first day with all of our sites without running into any parking issues, visiting both Shuri castle and the Peace Memorial. She even assisted with locating a tire pump at a local gas station for our wheelchair tire! The second day was a drive up north to Chatan to visit family. Her flexibility and thoughtfulness to bring a step for our elderly tourees were also paramount to the safety and expedition of our tour. She even stayed later so we could watch fireworks and we were more than happy to pay the extra fee. She stayed positive even during the extremely backed up traffic on our return to Naha - finding routes around some of the bumper to bumper roads - and brought us back after a very long day. I highly recommend them for their assistance and the flexibility they provide when creating customized itineraries.
