"I want to walk through Kawagoe again to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday. But my legs are weak and I find it difficult to change trains and get through the crowds."—Have you given up on a sightseeing trip with an elderly family member like that? Jumbo Taxi.com offers private transfer services where drivers with nursing care qualifications are available, supporting seniors' outings and sightseeing. In this article, we will outline why private taxis are suitable for sightseeing with seniors, comparing them to other transportation options. Take a trip to famous places nationwide and nearby in Tokyo's 23 wards and Saitama Prefecture, starting and ending in the southern part of the Tokyo metropolitan area.
We won't give up on the idea of going out again with everyone.
When assistance becomes necessary, the hurdles of traveling and sightseeing skyrocket. First, let’s list the “common sense” things that your family often asks. If any of these apply to you, then it’s time to book a private room.
With the station's transfers and the height difference, wheelchairs and strollers are very difficult to use.
Searching for the elevator leads to a detour, and the home’s steep steps and narrow spaces make it difficult to move around. The accompanying family members are also on high alert, making them tired before reaching their destination.
Public transportation doesn't read the time well and is difficult to adjust to your own body's needs.
During peak hours, it is not always possible to sit down, and there is no freedom to take breaks for toilet breaks or take a short break. For elderly individuals, the very act of traveling can often become a greater burden than sightseeing itself.
Nursing-care taxis are associated with hospital visits, and it is difficult to rely on them for sightseeing tours.
Nursing and welfare taxis are primarily used for transportation to and from medical appointments, and many people find it difficult to consult about using them for sightseeing purposes, such as visiting several famous places along the way.
Point:These inconveniences can be resolved by renting out a vehicle with a trained driver from the front door to the tourist destination. This way, you can leave the driving to us, so you and your family can focus on enjoying the journey.
Compare the means of transportation
With tourism to elderly families in mind, let’s compare the main transportation methods fairly. Each has its advantages, but when we focus on “touring,” “waiting,” and “escorting,” the differences become clear.
| Means of transportation | Ease of use for tourism | Accompanying person/wheelchair | Travel and wait |
|---|---|---|---|
| Train and bus routes | Heavy burden of switching transportation modes, stairs, and crowds | The family accompanied me and I carried my own luggage. | Bound by time and unable to exercise freedom |
| Private car | The family has a heavy burden of driving and parking. | The driver has difficulty providing assistance. | It's free, but driving still leaves you tired. |
| Nursing and welfare taxis | Hospitalization and transportation are the main services, and it is difficult to arrange sightseeing arrangements. | Easy to accommodate assistance | Traveling and waiting for a long time can also be difficult to arrange |
| Charter Jumbo Taxi (Looking for a driver with nursing care qualifications) | From the front door to the famous spot, door to door | You can request light assistance for boarding, and your family can also ride along. | Free to travel to multiple locations, wait in between stops, and take breaks |
What is really important for tourism is not the "travel itself" but rather the "enjoyment of the local area without any hassle." When you think about it this way, chartering a vehicle that can take the burden of both travel and accompanying people off your shoulders is a great choice for a day out on a sunny day.
