Description
First time at Itami Airport?
No worries, we ensure a smooth pickup.
Itami Airport Arrival lobby
We know that after a long flight, you want to get to your hotel as quickly as possible. But navigating the airport can be tough, especially if you don't speak Japanese, as English is not commonly used in Japan.
This is even more challenging for first-time visitors to Itami Airport or for families traveling with children.

What We Offer for
Smooth Airport Pickup
1, Free Meet & Greet Service
Driver will wait with your nameboard
We have designated meeting points at each airport. After you make a reservation, we will send you a map and photos of the location, so you won't get lost.
On the day of your arrival, our driver will be waiting for you at the meeting point with a name board displaying your name, so you can easily find them and feel at ease.
2, Real-Time Chat Support In English
Smooth communication through WhatsApp
Upon your arrival at Kansai Airport (or Itami Airport), our English-speaking support team offers real-time assistance via WhatsApp for smooth meetups with the driver. At the airport, various issues can arise during the immigration process, such as:
- Long lines at immigration
- Lost luggage
- Being held up at customs
In such cases, please contact our customer support via WhatsApp. We will inform the driver and handle the situation accordingly.
3, Handling Flight Delays
We are monitoring flight times
Flight arrivals are often delayed by one or two hours. However, our customer support team monitors flight arrival times and is aware of any delays.
In such cases, we adjust the meeting time to match the actual arrival time, so you can rest assured.
4, Driver Waits Until You Come Out
Your driver will be there, guaranteed
Some taxi companies cancel bookings if time passes since the meeting time, causing drivers to leave without the customer. But our drivers stay until they meet the customer, as long as we can stay in touch through WhatsApp.
Delays at the arrival gate, like flight delays and customs queues, can happen. Our service aims to help in these situations.
