"I would like to share my positive experience with Mr. Ryu, whom I had the pleasure of using twice — first for transportation from the airport to the hotel, and later from one hotel to another. Mr. Ryu is a very friendly and professional person. He is an experienced and careful driver, and I felt very comfortable and safe throughout both journeys. His English is good, and he was always helpful, polite, and enjoyable to communicate with. One thing I particularly appreciated was his punctuality — he was always early for the scheduled pick-up. I highly recommend Mr. Ryu for his professionalism, reliability, safe driving, and excellent customer service."

"Great experience. Ryu met us at the door of our train car when we arrived from Kyoto to Mishima on the Shinkansen. He took care of our family and showed us some great spots for viewing Mt. Fuji. He recommended a great restaurant which we all enjoyed before he drove us to our Tokyo hotel for the final week of our trip to Japan."

"We did 3 different trips and all three we were gifted an amazing driver. His name was Ryu. I am a nervous passenger, however I never felt unsafe with Ryu at the wheel. He also went above and beyond to ensure our family had a stress free and enjoyable time with every stop."

"We highly recommend driver Ryue Kawada. There were 5 of us including my 82-year-old mother in a wheelchair. Throughout our 11-day trip across Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, Ryue was always flexible whenever we changed our itinerary."
