I would highly recommend Kan’s Osaka Taxi! We used their services during our family trip to Japan (2 adults and 2 children), traveling from Osaka to Kyoto with a half-day sightseeing stop at Minoo Falls and Katsuo-ji Temple. From the very beginning, communication was easy and pleasant. They responded quickly, were very helpful and accommodating, offered us a very fair price, and were happy to adjust the itinerary according to our requests. Our driver was waiting outside our hotel exactly at the agreed time. The taxi was new, spotless, and very comfortable for our whole family, with plenty of room for all our luggage. The driver was wonderful throughout the day. He explained where to go when we arrived at Minoo Falls, and at Katsuo-ji Temple he accompanied us during our visit and was incredibly kind and helpful. He even stood in the long lines for us (!) to get our postcards stamped and to buy some small figurines. Overall, we had an excellent experience and felt very well taken care of throughout the entire journey. I would definitely recommend Kan’s Osaka Taxi to anyone looking for a comfortable, reliable, and stress-free private transfer or sightseeing experience in the Osaka–Kyoto area.

Booked late the day before pick-up, but they were able to quickly confirm. They communicated clearly and the driver was at the designated spot on time with the name card. Overall they were fast, efficient and reasonably priced. Would definitely use again.

I highly recommend Ken’s taxi. They communicate clearly on your itinerary, were punctual and the drivers were friendly. And the vehicle was clean and nice. Our itinerary was going from our ship in Osaka to the The Osamu Tezuka Manga Museum. They picked us up in the terminal. And we had a smooth 1 hour ride. To our surprise we had finished the museum earlier than expected and I contacted them to see if we could get picked up earlier. Wow not a problem. So we altered our itinerary even more and since we had so much extra time we went back to Osaka and had them drop us off at a street market. From there we just arranged our own way back to our ship because we didn’t know how long we would be shopping. I can’t say enough about how friendly, accommodating and punctual Ken’s taxi was. It was a top notch service and I highly recommend them for anyone traveling to Japan. If I was to travel to Japan again I would use them for everything.

Ken’s Taxi provided an amazing service for my family when arriving in Japan. They were prompt, professional, And courteous. The car service was excellent. Most importantly, their communication, being in another country was amazing and added comfort to knowing I could count on him being there I will Definitely them again.

Kens Osaka Taxi was very accommodating to our last minute request for a private driver to Kyoto. Our drivers was so sweet and took us to some stops that we didn't even know about. Would highly recommend using this company!

We had an amazing experience with Ken’s Osaka Taxi. We had travelled to Osaka from the UK with our 10-month-old baby, and used their service to take us to Kyoto. It was essential after such a long trip, and with a baby, that we had a reliable car and driver waiting for us, equipped with a car seat. The company was in contact on WhatsApp before we even left the UK, and the driver was exactly where we were told he was going to be. He was incredibly polite, kind and helpful. and our trip to our accommodation in Kyoto could not have been an easier or more comfortable experience. They are a bit more expensive than I have ever spent on a car service; however, with the baby and our luggage, and taking into account the duration of our journey, it was well worth the cost. Thank you!

We used Ken's Osaka Taxi twice during our stay in Osaka: first for the airport-to-hotel transfer, and later for the ride from Osaka to Kyoto. Both times, everything was excellent. We booked several months in advance and never felt forgotten. Every message and instruction arrived at the right time, and communication was always clear. Our driver was exactly on time both days, professional and friendly, and the car was spotless inside and out. We have nothing to complain about. The company worked flawlessly, just like a Japanese watch, a Japanese camera, or a Japanese car... Oh right, it's a Japanese company too. 🙂 We'll definitely use Ken's Osaka Taxi again and happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable private transfer. A big thank you to the whole team! See you at Osaka Airport on April 1, 2027!

Ken’s Taxi took such great care of us! We recently booked them to transfer 6 seniors from the Osaka Cruise Port to Kyoto/Gion where we self toured for the day. At the end of the day they picked us up for our return trip. The communication was excellent, the driver was very good and the van was comfortable. We had to change our pickup time to an hour earlier and they were able to accommodate that request with very short notice. We appreciated that so much because it was a long day full of walking and some of our group were exhausted. I would highly recommend Ken’s taxi. The cost was suitable and we still saved alot of money over cruise ship options while still getting top level private service!
