Tokudaw’s 2023 Wrapped Up—Your Trusted Private Car Services Agency. 2024 is all about your happiness and health since we're expanding our services to include medical, wellness, and educational tours.

Visiting Japan opens doors to cultural experiences, from the beauty of its traditional tea ceremonies to the bustling streets of its modern cities. Yet, for many travelers, using local transportation is a daunting challenge – especially when it comes to hailing a taxi.

Surprisingly, Japan faces a significant issue with taxi availability – particularly in metropolitan areas like Tokyo. This scarcity leaves tourists struggling to find a reliable ride, and the situation worsens because of language barriers and the complex layout of Japanese cities. That’s why you need to have a clear understanding of the Japanese transport system to make the most out of your trip.

For that reason, here are some savvy tips to help you understand what it takes to get a taxi in Japan without getting scammed.

Arrive at the slopes fresh and ready for action

There's a much quicker and more comfortable way to reach your mountain resort. Booking one of our private ski transfers eliminates the public transport ordeal and lets you get underway as soon as you land. Drop your bags, skis, boards and boots in one of our comfortable private cars and ride directly to the doorstep of your resort in peace. You can spend the journey catching up on some sleep or making plans for all that powder with your group, and arrive rested and ready to go. It can be a long journey, and if you'd like to break it up with a stop for lunch at a local restaurant or some sightseeing along the way, this can be factored into your trip.

We want our guests to get the most out of their trip to Japan and its world class ski resorts, and our ski transfers offer the simplest and most stress-free way to do it.

Our private car service gets you where you need to go with minimum stress and maximum comfort.
