If you’re looking for a comfortable and personalized way to explore Kyoto, a chartered sightseeing taxi is an excellent choice. Unlike regular taxis, fares are based on time rather than distance, making it easier to plan your itinerary with confidence. This service is available by advance reservation only, and your driver will be a certified expert in Kyoto tourism.

Professional Guides

One of the key features of a chartered sightseeing taxi is that your driver also serves as your personal tour guide. They’re well-versed in Kyoto’s history and culture, offering insights on major landmarks as well as hidden local gems. Many of our drivers are fluent in English, and some others can speak Chinese, Korean etc, providing peace of mind for first-time visitors from abroad.

Flexible Itineraries

Whether you’d like to visit iconic spots like Fushimi Inari Shrine or explore Kyoto’s natural beauty, the driver can tailor the itinerary to suit your preferences. Plans can also be adjusted on the fly to accommodate weather changes or traffic, ensuring a smooth, stress-free experience.

Private Space

Enjoy the privacy of your own vehicle where you can talk, rest, or even nap as you travel. The service is also ideal for families with small children, elderly travelers, or those with disabilities. Vehicle options range from standard four-seaters to jumbo taxis and luxury hire cars.

Comfort and Convenience

Even if your shopping bags start to pile up, simply leave them in the trunk and keep exploring with ease. You won’t need to worry about finding parking, and you can access destinations like Arashiyama-Takao Parkway—places only reachable by car.

Reasonable pricing

While fares are higher than public transportation, the cost per person becomes quite reasonable when shared among a group. And of course, you can still combine this service with walking tours to enjoy the best of both worlds.

Reservations

Reservations can be made by phone or online. Be aware that cancellation fees may apply, so early booking is recommended once your plans are set.
