Private Jumbo Taxi for Graduation Trip | One vehicle for luggage for 4-9 friends on domestic trips

In late February, I met up with a group of four or five people at the station ticket gate. We bought tickets, lugged our heavy luggage onto the platform, and struggled with the transfer guidance — it’s a waste of a great graduation trip to be exhausted by the travel. For groups of four to nine people, a private jumbo taxi is the most convenient way to get everyone to their destination from our home base—the airport, the Shinkansen station, and the sightseeing spots we want to visit. In this article, I’ve compiled the “day-of flow” for a graduation trip from Tokyo and Saitama, along with the stops we’d like to visit and our ideas on how to budget for the trip. (Assuming that a group of four to nine friends from high school or college will go on a domestic trip in February—2 to 3 months from now.)

Moving on graduation trip: Often gets stuck in these situations

One of the things that tends to get pushed to the back of the planning process for a graduation trip is “getting around.” While the destination and accommodation are decided upon with excitement, there are not few people who find themselves wondering on the day of the trip, “How am I going to get around with this luggage?” For example, have you ever encountered a situation like this?

Traveling by train with a large suitcase and a large number of people is difficult.

If you’re flying to Okinawa or Hokkaido, you’ll need a larger suitcase; for a ski or snowboard trip, you’ll need additional equipment like boards. Carrying nine people’s luggage on a crowded train means having to worry about where to stand and having to carry the luggage up and down stairs and escalators every time you change trains. Engaging in conversation with your fellow passengers at the ticket gates and on the platform is also a bit nerve-wracking.

When you get into two or three taxis, the conversation gets interrupted.

With a large number of people, it’s not possible to get into an ordinary taxi; they often split up into two or three cars. If the car breaks down from the start of the trip, the precious conversation during the journey is interrupted, and there’s also the hassle of having to contact each other every time to find out which car is waiting where.

You're constantly being shuffled between early morning flights and late-night buses

Getting airline tickets cheaply usually means flying early in the morning or arriving late at night. Whether you can catch the first train or how to get home after the last train—behind the excitement of a graduation trip, the stress of keeping up with the timetable is surprisingly big.

How to move with one device from departure to arrival (the flow of the day)

For example, if it’s a graduation trip departing from Tokyo or Saitama and flying to somewhere in the country from Haneda Airport, here’s how it would work on the day of the trip: zero transfers, and minimal luggage handling.

1. Pick you up at your home:At the designated time, we pick up the members one by one at their homes or in front of their apartments. The large suitcases are also loaded into the luggage room on the spot. There is no need to walk to the station.
2. Directly to the airport and Shinkansen station:Take the less-congested route to the departure terminal at Haneda Airport. The same service is provided at the arrival gate, including from Narita and by Shinkansen. Pick-up at the arrival gate is also free.
3. Tour the local area and tourist spots in Tokyo:After arriving or on days spent sightseeing in Tokyo, you can use one vehicle to visit multiple locations such as Asakusa, Odaiba, and Tokyo Skytree. You can even move on to your next destination while leaving your luggage with us.
4. To the hostel, karaoke, and the final dinner party:At night, we just load everything into the car and head to the hostel or venue. Without worrying about the last train, we can spend the final night together.
5. The next day, delivered to my front door:Even on the way back, we’ll take it all the way to the front door of each individual house. With our tired bodies and heavy luggage, we don’t have to ride the train.

We want everyone to visit places starting and ending in Tokyo.

With a private charter, you have the freedom to choose your destination and schedule. This combination is popular for creating memories of your graduation trip (all of these are from Tokyo and Saitama, making them an easy way to travel around the area).

Compared to trains and traveling around on your own, what is the end result?

Of course, trains and buses also have their advantages in terms of affordability and the number of seats available. However, when traveling as a group of 4 to 9 people with large luggage, the situation changes slightly.

The idea of giving up "struggle" for money

The burden of carrying luggage every time you change modes of transportation, the fatigue from having to interrupt conversations while sharing rides, and the time lost due to following the timetable. These are all “difficulties” that are hard to put a monetary value on. The Jumbo Taxi for Rent takes on all of these difficulties for you. And since the rental fee is only one unit, splitting the cost with the other passengers makes it much more affordable for each person. This concept makes perfect sense when there are enough people to make it work.

It is especially suited for such a group.

Conversely, if you’re traveling with 2-3 people and prefer to move around freely and have more freedom on the ground, there’s no need to book a private charter. This is ideal for groups that fit into one of the following categories: “more than 4 people,” “with suitcases or other bulky items,” “moving early in the morning or late at night,” and “wanting to visit multiple locations with the same group of people.” Once you have your itinerary in mind, the more items that match this description, the more likely it is that a private charter is a good option.

summary

Graduation trips are a special time to mark the end of your student years. The main focus isn’t on the destination or the accommodation; it’s rather the hassle of getting there. If you’re traveling with 4 to 9 people and want to travel to multiple locations with the same group, a private jumbo taxi that connects from your home to the airport, tourist attractions, and accommodations is the most convenient and hassle-free way to go. While still keeping the burden on everyone equal by splitting the cost, let’s all spend the time together until the very end.
