Writing in Chinese should help some friends from China ₍˄·͈༝·͈˄*₎◞ ̑̑
Since I don't have an international driver's license and thought renting a car would be troublesome, I wanted to save time to visit Takachiho Gorge and Sōun-kyō. Originally, I planned to take a bus, but while researching, I stumbled upon this website. Honestly, I was quite worried about whether there would be any issues when booking... Even on the day of the trip, I felt a bit uneasy.
However, when I saw the taxi driver's decorated car, I relaxed completely. The entire experience was very pleasant. The driver was very professional, both as a driver and a guide, familiar with various routes, and had an elegant demeanor. He also tailored our trip based on our preferences through our conversations, taking us to places we might be interested in. He introduced us to many attractions' origins and details, took us to eat at great little restaurants, and shared information about local specialties. Along the way, he also chatted with us about local customs.
Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. Not only did it save time, but we also got to visit every attraction and learned a lot about the local culture.
I am really grateful!
The only requirement is that you should know a bit of Japanese. I lived in Tokyo for a few years, so communication wasn't a big issue, and the driver also knew a little English. Although translation technology is quite advanced now, back-and-forth communication can take some time, especially when you're in the car and can't wait... So I suggest knowing a bit of Japanese is better! It feels very safe and secure! Plus, the pick-up and drop-off are directly at the hotel, and the service was really excellent\\\٩( 'ω' )و /// If any friends from China see this comment while planning to visit, feel free to make a reservation!!! It's really great!

因为没有国际驾照加上觉得租车麻烦又想节省时间去高千穗峡和草千里,本来预定是要坐巴士之类的在查资料的时候偶尔看到了这个网站。老实说预定的时候我还挺担心会不会有什么问题……哪怕是到了当天我也有些不安。
但是看到出租车司机的痛车的时候整个人都放松了,全程非常愉悦,司机不管是作为司机还是导游都非常专业,熟知各种路线,举止优雅,并且还会从聊天中根据我们的喜好带我们去我们可能有兴趣的地方。也会给我们介绍很多景点的由来和细节,带我们去吃好吃的小餐馆,以及给我们介绍那里的特产比较好啥的。一路上也跟我们聊了一些当地的风俗。
整体非常愉快,不仅节约了时间,还把每个景点都玩到了,除此之外还了解了到了很多当地的文化。
真的非常感谢!
唯一有点要求的是得会点日语,我在东京生活过几年所以交流上问题不大,对方也会一点英语。虽然现在翻译机技术也很成熟了,但一来一去会耽误一些时间,尤其是在车上的时候是等不了了……所以建议还是会点日语好一些!非常安心安全!而且接送都是直接到旅店,服务真的非常好了\\\٩( 'ω' )و ///如果有中国来玩的小伙伴偶尔看到这条评论,放心上预约!!!真的很好!
I used a 7-hour sightseeing taxi service. The driver was waiting in the lobby even before the scheduled start time and treated us with respect and politeness throughout the day, which I truly appreciated. We were able to discuss and make additional changes to our destinations with the driver on the day of the tour, and he was very flexible. His driving skills were excellent, ensuring safe and efficient travel. Thanks to this experience, my stay in Kumamoto became a wonderful memory.
7時間の観光タクシーを利用させていただきました。ドライバーさんは時間通り、というか開始時間前からロビーに立って待っておられ、終日礼儀正しく敬意を持って接していただき、頭が下がる思いでした。目的地も当日ドライバーさんと相談して追加や変更にも柔軟に対応していただきました。運転技術もさすがで安全運転の上に効率よく回っていただきました。おかげさまで熊本滞在が最高の思い出になりました。
Thank you for your generous compliments. We look forward to your use of our sightseeing taxi service again if the opportunity arises. Thank you very much.
過分なるお褒めの言葉、ありがとうございます。また機会がございましたら弊社観光タクシーのご利用をお待ちしております。ありがとうございました
It was a course that took us from Kumamoto Station to Kumamoto Castle and Mount Aso, and the driver was very kind and provided various explanations. Unfortunately, there were many clouds, and it was disappointing that we couldn't reach the crater of Mount Aso, but instead, we visited other attractions. I think it's better to enjoy a few places rather than trying to see too many.
熊本駅から熊本城と阿蘇さんを回るコースでしたが、運転手さんはとても親切な方で色々と説明をしてくださいました。あいにく雲が多く、阿蘇山の火口まで行けなかったのは残念でしたが、その代わり別の見所を回ってくれました。
あまりあちこち欲張らずに数ヵ所を楽しむのが良いと思います。
Thank you for using our sightseeing taxi service. We look forward to serving you again.
この度は弊社観光タクシーをご利用いただきありがとうございました。またのご利用お待ちしております。
We had time constraints, so I think it would have been difficult to cover the itinerary on a bus tour. However, by communicating our preferences along with the model itinerary, we were able to travel efficiently and have the trip we hoped for. Thank you.
私達に時間の制限もあったので、バスツアーではなかなか回れないであろう旅程だと思いますが、モデルの旅程にこちらの希望もお伝えして、効率よく回ってもらい希望の旅行が出来ました。ありがとうございます。
We used a private sightseeing taxi from Kumamoto Port to our accommodation in Kurokawa Onsen, just my mother and I.
Since it was my first time in Kyushu, I really enjoyed the driver's guidance, conversations about history, and explanations about the area on the way to our destination. In today's world, we can get a lot of information online, but the stories from a local driver truly captured the essence of the place and added a live feel to the experience, which was very enjoyable. My mother and I were very satisfied. The driver also responded to our requests to see Kumamoto Castle from the car and suggested a great sightseeing route to Kurokawa Onsen, providing detailed guidance. The photos taken with my mother at the driver's recommended spots will be wonderful memories of our trip.
We considered renting a car as an option for our travel plans, but choosing the sightseeing taxi was definitely the right decision. Interacting with people is one of the joys of traveling.
I would like to thank Mr. Munakata, the driver from Kumamoto Taxi, as well as the staff from Veltra and Kumamoto Taxi. Thank you very much!
熊本港から黒川温泉の宿泊先まで、貸切の観光タクシーを母と私の2人で利用しました。
初めての九州だったので、目的地までのドライバーさんのガイド内容や歴史、土地の説明に至る会話がとても楽しかったです。今の時代、ネットで多くの情報を得られますが、やはり地元のドライバーさんならではのお話は土地の味わいを感じ、ライブ感があってとても楽しかったです。母ともに大満足です。熊本城を車内から見たい!黒川温泉までのおすすめ観光コースにして欲しい!というリクエストにも応えていただき、とても詳しく案内をして下さいました。ドライバーさんのオススメスポットで、撮っていただいた母との写真は旅のいい思い出になります。
レンタカーという選択肢も旅の計画では考えましたが、観光タクシーにして大正解でした。
人との触れ合いも旅の醍醐味ですね。
熊本タクシーのドライバーの宗像さん含め、ベルトラ、熊本タクシーの方々に感謝いたします。
ありがとうございました♪
Thank you for using our taxi service. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We also appreciate your kind words about the guidance in Munakata. If you have the opportunity to visit Kumamoto again, we look forward to serving you with our taxi service. As the cold weather increases day by day, please take care of yourself. Thank you very much.
この度は弊社タクシーをご利用いただきありがとうございます。 喜んで頂いた様子、こちらも嬉しくなります。また宗像の案内にお褒めの言葉を頂き重ねてお礼申し上げます。また来熊の機会がございましたら、是非、弊社タクシーのご利用をお待ちしております。日毎に寒さが増してまいりますのでくれぐれもお体ご自愛下さいませ。
ありがとうございました。
The weather was great, and I was introduced to some delicious restaurants, which made it absolutely wonderful. Thank you very much.
天気にも恵まれて、美味しいご飯屋さんを紹介してもらって、とっても最高でした。
ありがとうございました。
I booked this plan because I really wanted to include Takachiho Gorge in my solo trip. Unfortunately, the weather was not great, so it wasn't the best experience. On the day of my reservation, the sky was cloudy with light rain, and the beautiful scenery of the Aso grasslands that I was looking forward to was completely shrouded in fog, which was disappointing. However, on the way back, it cleared up in Kumamoto City, and I was lucky to see the rice mound. I used Kumamoto Taxi, and the driver was very considerate and engaging, making the visits to Takachiho Gorge, Amano Iwato Shrine, and Shirakawa Springs very enjoyable. According to the driver, it's easier to access Takachiho Gorge from the Kumamoto side. The lunch they recommended, consisting of daikon and takana rice and dako soup, was also delicious. They even stopped the car to explain about the Aso Ohashi bridge that collapsed during the Kumamoto earthquake. As for clothing, it's advisable to bring something to wear over your clothes, as there is a temperature difference between the city and the mountain areas.
一人旅でどうしても高千穂峡を入れたくこのプランを予約しました。お天気が悪かったので最高とまではいきませんでした。予約日はあいにくの空模様で小雨気味で楽しみにしていた阿蘇の草原の景色は完全に霧の中でそれだけが残念でした。帰りすがらに熊本市内方面が晴れて米塚が見れたのは幸いでした。熊本タクシーさんでしたがドライバーさんが色々気を遣って下さりお話も楽しく高千穂峡峡や天岩戸神社、白川水源はとても良かったです。ドライバーさん曰く高千穂峡は熊本方面からの方が行きやすいそうです。お昼に案内して頂いただいこんやの高菜飯とだご汁も美味でした。熊本地震で落ちた阿蘇大橋も車を停めて説明していただきました。
服装は山の上の方は市内と気温差があるので羽織るものはあったほうが良いです。
The driver was very polite. During the ride, he shared the history of our destination and recommended nearby spots and lunch places, which allowed us to explore options beyond our planned itinerary.
We were not constrained by sightseeing time and could take our time, making the trip less hectic. If I have the opportunity to visit Kumamoto again, I would definitely like to use this service.
At the sightseeing spots, he also helped with directions and took photos for us. I wondered if it was okay to rely on him so much, but I took full advantage of his assistance.
I highly recommend this for those who are not good at driving. While there are buses and other transportation options, the travel distances can be long, and you might face time constraints and crowds. If you're considering it, I encourage you to use this service.
I am truly grateful to Kumamoto Taxi for making this a wonderful trip.
Thank you very much.
運転手さんがとても丁寧でした。車中でも向かうところの由来であったり周辺のおすすめスポット、昼食場所など私たちが決めたプラン以外にも当日提案していただき行くことができました。
観光時間に縛られることもなく、ゆっくりと時間をかけることができたので慌ただしい旅行にならず、また熊本の方へ遊びに行く機会があれば利用させていただきたいと思いました。
観光場所では道案内や写真撮影もしていただき、こんなに甘えて良いものか、と思いましたが存分に甘えさせていただきました。笑
運転が苦手な方は絶対におすすめです。バスなどの交通機関もありますが移動距離がどうしても長くなるのと時間に縛られたり混雑もあるので検討されてる方がいましたら是非利用していただきたいです。
素敵な旅行にしてくださった熊本タクシーさん本当に感謝しています。
ありがとうございました。
The weather was wonderful, and it was a very comfortable taxi tour. The course was adjusted considering lunchtime, and there was a good degree of flexibility in the time allocation, which gave a nice "Customer First" feeling. At the crater, we could see a little hot spring, and at Kusasenri, I rode a horse (for the first time in 50 years!), and the view from Daikanbo was an unexpectedly breathtaking panorama that moved me!
Above all, the driver (I forgot to check her name, but she was a woman who moved to Aso last year and became a driver) was very pleasant. Even though the exploration was free, she went out of her way to come to the photo spots and took pictures for us. Her explanations about the sights were comfortable and easy to talk to, which made the tour very relaxing and enjoyable! Thank you, driver!
お天気にも恵まれ、とても快適なタクシー観光でした
コースも お昼時を考慮し、順番を変えて下さったり、時間配分もある程度自由があり、Customer First な感じがよかったです。
火口では ちょびっとだけ湯たまりが見え、草千里では 馬に乗り(50年ぶり!)、大観峰は 予想以上の大パノラマ絶景で感動的でした!
何より、ドライバーさん(お名前をちゃんとチェックしなくて忘れてしまいましたが、昨年阿蘇に移住してドライバーになったという女性の方)が とても感じのいい方で、散策は自由なのに、Photoスポットまで わざわざ来て、写真を撮ってくださったり、観光説明のお話も心地よく 話しやすいん感じの方で、とてもリラックスして観光楽しめました!
ドライバーさん ありがとうございました
The driver was kind and polite, introducing various things to us, even though our Japanese isn't very good. It was fun!
日本語が上手くない私たちに対しても運転手さんは優しく丁寧に色々紹介してくれました。
楽しかったです!
It had been a while since I visited Kumamoto, and I really appreciated the thorough guidance and the explanation of the formation of the Aso Five Mountains. Thank you!
久しぶりの熊本でしたが、とても丁寧な案内で阿蘇五岳の成り立ちまでご説明いただきありがとうございました。
The weather was unfortunately bad on the day, but I was able to have various conversations and they adjusted the schedule for me, making it a pleasant experience.

The number one highlight was the taxi driver's story and response, which were both excellent! They guided me flexibly to various places. The lunch spot they recommended was very delicious, and I was extremely satisfied. For dinner, I also enjoyed the local specialties at the restaurant they suggested. It was a fulfilling and enjoyable tour, and I was very satisfied overall. Thank you for your help! Thank you very much!

The driver was kind and it was really fun. The pacing was adjusted to our needs, and the timing for bathroom breaks was considerate. I think all the discussions about history and culture were perfect.
ドライバーさんが親切で本当に楽しかったです。こちらに合わせたペース配分やトイレの確認タイミング、気配り。歴史や文化のお話しなどどれも完璧だったと思います。
