Graduation ceremonies and entrance ceremonies, with grandparents too. The kimono and luggage are all carried by the whole family in one vehicle to the venue.
You can get in and out easily in a hakama, suit, or kimono, from leaving your house in the morning to getting to the ceremony door to door. There’s no need to change trains or get off at stations along the way.
On graduation or entrance ceremony mornings, haven’t you ever wondered how to get your grandparents to the venue? Trains are tiring to travel in a kimono or hakama, and splitting up into two taxis can leave your family scattered. In this article, we’ve summarized the reasons why charter jumbo taxis are ideal for family transportation to graduation or entrance ceremony events, answering frequently asked questions. It’s available for families with 4 to 9 members, including grandparents, from locations in the Tokyo 23 wards and the southern part of Saitama Prefecture.
Are you troubled by situations like this on graduation or entrance ceremony mornings?
On sunny days, you don't want to be exhausted from traveling. First, let's list the "common sense" things parents often hear. If any of these apply to you, then a charter taxi is the way to go.
Train and bus trips are tiring with kimono and hakama on.
Your child's hakama, suit, and your mother's kimono. Standing with your hem in mind on crowded trains and buses is tiring enough. With private rental, you can sit right from the front door to the venue. There's minimal worry about your clothes getting ruined.
The number of adults, including grandparents, splits into two taxis.
With 4 to 9 people, ordinary taxis usually have two passengers in each car. With elderly grandparents and small children in separate cars, it often ends up being a situation where they arrive at different times and have to wait at the venue before joining forces.
Lots of luggage with bouquets, souvenirs, changing clothes, and baby carriages
On graduation and entrance ceremony days, the baggage gets surprisingly heavy—bouquet of flowers, souvenirs, a baby stroller for the younger child, and a complete outfit for changing clothes. It’s very difficult to get changed while both hands are full.
Point:These inconveniences can be solved by turning them around: instead of everyone having to sit in the same vehicle and carry their luggage from the front entrance to the venue at once, we can solve it all at once with Jumbo Taxi rental.
Graduation and Entrance Ceremony Shuttle Service FAQ
From here, I will answer the frequently asked questions before booking. You can just read the parts that interest you.
How many people can ride? Can grandparents also ride with me?
The Jumbo Taxi (Toyota HiAce Wide Super Long) can accommodate up to nine people. It can be used by a family of up to nine people, including children, parents, and grandparents, so you can all travel together while enjoying the conversation along the way. You can head to the venue while enjoying the conversation.
Is it easy to get on even if you wear a hakama, a suit, or kimono?
The tall box-shaped car has plenty of headroom in the ceiling, and the floor is low, making it easy to get in and out even in kimono or hakama. You can take it slowly at the front door, adapted to the pace of elderly people or small children.
Can I also pack bouquets, souvenirs, and baby carriages?
There is a storage space at the rear, where you can store bouquets, souvenirs, changing clothes, and folding strollers, among other things. You don’t have to hold them on your knees while carrying them. If you let us know in advance about large luggage or special items, we will provide a quote when you make your reservation.
Can I get dropped off at the front of the school or the hall?
Many venues allow cars to park close to the entrance, but on ceremony days the surrounding area can get crowded and parking may be restricted. If you let us know the venue name when you make your reservation, we can discuss together where it would be easiest to get off. We want to be as close to the entrance as possible to minimize the hassle of getting on and off.
Can I wait during the ceremony? How long can I rent it for?
Not only for one-way use, we also offer time-slot rentals that include waiting time between ceremonies. A day can be completed with one vehicle, starting with you arriving from your home to the venue in the morning, waiting during the ceremony, and finishing with a photo-taking spot, a dining venue, and then returning to your home. We will quote a price based on your schedule for the time you need.
What is the price? Will it be cheaper if we split the cost?
The price varies depending on distance, time, and route, so it's not exact.Pricing pageWe will provide a quote based on the estimated cost. The advantage is that since the car is rented out, the burden per person decreases the more people are on board. If you have a large group, including grandparents, instead of paying the train fare for each person to change trains, splitting the cost with everyone is a more convenient way to get closer to the group. There are no additional fees for different car types or early morning hours surcharge.
When should I make a reservation?
Graduation ceremonies are held in March, and entrance ceremonies are held in early April. The ceremonies overlap on the same day. Once the schedule is determined, we recommend that you contact us as soon as possible. We will provide you with the available dates and plans once we have more information about the venue, number of participants, and desired time.
Guidelines for the number of people and how to use it
This is an image of your family's composition and how they spend their day (the price varies depending on distance and time; it is a guide).
| An example from your family | the number of people | Suitable applications |
|---|---|---|
| Child + parents + grandparents | 4 to 5 people | Travel back and forth from home to the venue. You can also wait during the ceremony. |
| Both families' grandparents also attended the ceremony. | 6 to 7 people | After visiting two places, we headed to the venue. On the way back, we stopped at a restaurant for a meal. |
| My siblings and relatives are also here today. | 8 to 9 people | Tour around the venue, photography, and dining all in one day with a private rental |
There are also disadvantages with trains and rental cars. If your luggage is light for short distances, trains are convenient; if you are used to driving, renting a car is an option. However, considering kimono wear, large groups, grandparents traveling with you, driving around unfamiliar venues, and parking, there are likely many occasions when a private charter service is more convenient—just “just getting there”—on a sunny day. Think about the number of family members and your plans for the day, and decide which option feels more comfortable.
