Welcome to Kens Osaka Taxi!

Today I had an order from my previous customer for airport private transfer service. They are married couple from South Africa and they have moved to Japan last year with their 2 cats. Wife was temporarily back in South Africa and was planning to come back to Osaka. But because of current covid-19 situation, the visa for her wasn't renewed and they decided to go back to South Africa. Ummm...I feel so bad. And today's order was abit unique. It was private transfer to Itami airport for cats. I took t was travelling with husband to Itami airport for transferring the cats from Itami to Narita. He told me that there are less light for cats from Kansai airport to outside and has to go through Narita. Poor pussy cats! It must be so stressful for them. Anyways...I hope the covid-19 situation will be recovered and they can come back to Osaka one day soon!!
