Ask Hotel for a Private Taxi Driver

For spots that are difficult to visit, just asking hotel staff is an answer.

You just tell the driver “where you want to go”.

If the taxi drivers couldn’t speak your language, please ask hotel staff to interpret.

Actually, when I was working at hotel in Kyoto(Maifukan), many of tourists were doing so.

If hotel staff couldn’t interpret… use POCKETALK

However, sometimes hotel staff can’t interpret where you want to go, especially countryside hotels…

To comunicate in Japan, POCKETALK is recommended.

POCKETALK is a small translation device that supports more than 74 languages.

Even if you can’t speak each other’s languages, you can talk as if you have an interpreter just by speaking.

You can get POCKETALK at the airports after you make a reservation on the website.

Because not so many Japanese speak even English, POCKETALK is a good tool when you tell your destination to a taxi drivers in Japan.
