I am sorry, the capacity of our biggest car is for 6 guests. We specialize tours for small groups and cannot guide your party. We don't do tours using 2 or more cars. Thank you for your kind understanding, Takakazu Machi

Since our cars are designated as taxi cabs, we are exempted from the duty of having seats for children. You do not have to have a car seat for your child. FYI, even if you would like to have it, we cannot prepare car seats for children.

We use hourly rate, not per day. Basic rate for a sedan is 6100 JPY per hour, and basic rate for a mini-van is 6600 JPY per hour, if the tour is only inside Kyoto city. This price is for one group. These prices include transportation and guiding fees. Entrance and parking fees are not included. Please hire us at least 4 hours a day. If you hire a sedan for 6 hours, it will be 36600 JPY, and 39600 JPY for a mini-van. Please visit our official website, too.

Thank you for your inquiry. We can pick you up at the train station. We will send you an instruction and a map to come to the meeting place after your tour has confirmed.

HI, GrandTour15241012993, Thank you for your question. We can meet you anywhere you like in Kyoto. We usually pick up our guests at their hotel or train station.

Dear DbBil, Thank you for your question. For our service, you don't have to tip. It's not expeced. However, if you tip, it is apprecitatively accepted. Tipping is not offensive.

I agree with the all the other responses. I took a tour with Taka and LOVED it just last month (June). Being hot and humid, having a car was a great relief between places. Also, your itinerary can change depending on the weather and time of day so to be able to squeeze in another site or change to another and still have time to see it was helpful. You can eat up a lot of time trying to figure out where to go in an unfamiliar place.

Thank you for your inquiry. There are lots of limitations here. For example, can't write our e-mail or website addresses. Please look at our official website and e-mail to me. You can find those information on TripAdvisor. If you can't, please search with "Takakazu Machi". Thank you, Takka

Since we have tours in the daytime, we cannot answer the phone. I found your e-mail this evening, and already replied. Thank you, Takakazu Machi
