Our driver was kind, knowledgeable & respectful. Expectations met.

We had a fantastic time. Our driver arrived right on time. While his English was limited, he tried very hard, and we managed to communicate effectively anyway. We saw the places agreed and never felt rushed. We sensed a great sense of pride on his part in ensuring foreigners enjoy their time in the Hakone area. Would definitely hire him again.

Customised day tour to Mount Aso and some of the One Piece statues

We requested a customised day tour (8 hours) because we wanted to see some of the One Piece statues, which are hard to reach with public transport. Our itinerary was: pick up at our Hotel in Kumamoto -> Sanji -> Nami -> Robin -> Mount Aso sightseeing -> Franky -> Shirakawa spring -> a different hotel (hot spring in the Mount Aso region). The booking experience was very pleasant, everything was communicated in English and we always got fast replies. Our driver, Mr. Otsuka, did not speak English, but we knew that in advance and it was no problem at all, he is very friendly. We had a lunch break after seeing Mount Aso and we arrived at our hotel basically after exactly 8 hours. So everything worked out exactly as we wanted it and we highly recommend booking a tour with Tr taxi R.

Thank you for recommending us in your review! We are glad to know that you enjoyed your trip in Kumamoto with Mr. Otsuka. Thank you for being our customer, we look forward to welcoming you to Japan again. We’re here to serve you anytime.

Taxi around Jomon sites

The driver was polite, but really has difficulty finding a few of the sites.
