Do NOT book this if you can’t understand Japanese or Mandarin. Obviously catered for Mandarin speaking tourists only. You’re better off engaging English-speaking MK Taxi professional drivers who also give valuable insights and suggestions. Other than that, our assigned driver was a very safe and punctual driver.
We apologize that there are very few English-speaking drivers, and Japanese people don't speak English very well, so we state on our website that we can't specify a driver's language or international. Please be kind.
