Have you decided on the transportation for the wedding ceremony and the engagement party yet?
Both the ryusui and the gift items were for the elderly relatives; all of them were in one car. We have summarized the selection process for a transfer vehicle in order of preparation.
Preparing for weddings and engagements involves a lot of decisions regarding venue, attire, seating arrangements, and more. In the midst of all that, the question of “how to get there on the day of the event” often gets pushed to the back of the list. But for relatives’ transportation, even one wrong move can lead to chaos the morning of the happy day. In this article, we have compiled the “checklist for choosing a car” to help you avoid regrets during wedding, engagement, and face-to-face meetings, and organized the preparation in order of importance. We assume that there are between four and nine relatives from both families traveling between Tokyo’s 23 wards and the southern part of Saitama Prefecture on the day of the event.
Are you worried about wedding and engagement party transportation?
When moving to a celebratory event, there are certain details that are different from your usual outings. First, let me list some common questions that people often ask those preparing to attend such events.
Relatives are gathering in a disorganized manner, and it's impossible to keep track of time from morning until evening.
Grandparents, uncles, and distant relatives who come from afar. When each of them travels separately by train or taxi, they arrive at the venue just in time for the ceremony to begin, but they often worry about whether they’ll have time to meet before the opening ceremony.
Moving around in a risho, fushigo, or morning dress is tiring.
Formal attire is appropriate for changing trains and when the crowds are heavy. Standing with care for the hem and the belt can be tiring even before the ceremony begins, especially for elderly relatives.
With the gift set, thank-you gift, and change of clothes, the luggage is heavier than I expected.
Souvenirs, welcome items, change of clothes, cameras, and cash for the wedding gift. Things to carry can be surprisingly heavy. Carrying them all while changing planes is a burden for both families.
Point:These can be solved by moving everyone together in the same vehicle, sitting down, with all their luggage, from the pickup point to the venue. The problem is how to choose that vehicle.
Checkpoints for choosing a transfer vehicle that won't fail
To avoid regretting your choice of car for a celebratory event, be sure to check the following five things before deciding on a vehicle.
1. Is there a capacity for everyone to ride in one vehicle?
The Jumbo Taxi (Toyota Hiace Wide Super Long) can accommodate up to 9 people. Even if all the relatives from both families are together, if they all get together in one vehicle, the arrival time will be coordinated and there will be no waiting to join in.
2. A car with a height and door that are easy to get in and out of with the clothes on.
If the car has a high roof and wide opening, getting in and out is smooth even if you are wearing a kimono, furisode, or morning dress. You can ride slowly to suit the pace of the elderly.
3. Whether you can pack in your luggage
You can load all your gifts, clothes, camera equipment, and other items into the rear cargo compartment without having to carry them on your lap. We will advise you if it is possible to carry large items on your lap upon prior consultation.
4. Whether it can handle multiple locations and waiting times
At home, at the station or hotel, at a beauty salon, at a venue, for a dinner party or a second date—on celebratory days, there are often many stops. With a charter, you can spend the day with one car, with no waiting time.
5. Can you arrange for both families to attend?
If the departure points of the bride and groom are different, we can also arrange for two separate groups to arrive at the venue at the same time from their respective meeting points.
Taxi apps and regular taxis are convenient, but as the number of them increases, arrival times and prices can vary. On days when you want to bring your extended family along, a private charter is more convenient because it allows you to plan ahead. Try to think about how many vehicles and how many people you will need to use based on your own daily schedule.
Use of scenes by different people
Wedding and reception
From your home, nearest station, or hotel to the venue. You wait during the ceremony, and after the reception you move to a second-tier venue, the station, or your home. Since you use the same car and driver throughout the day, you can move around freely without having to leave your luggage behind.
Engagement ceremony and family meeting
For the ritual of exchanging gifts and meeting in restaurants or hotels, when both families want to coincide their arrival times, and when you want to carefully deliver the hand-made gifts and other items of the ceremony, a private room with plenty of space in the luggage compartment is reassuring.
Saying goodbye to distant relatives
It can also be used to send distant relatives to the station or airport after the ceremony. Instead of having to worry about finding a transfer in an unfamiliar land, you can have them delivered from your front door to your front door.
Things to be decided by the day and points to note
To ensure a smooth day, it’s reassuring to arrange the following in the booking stage.
Determine the number of people and the pickup location as early as possible
How many people will ride from where? If the departure points of both families differ, please decide on a meeting place and time for each group. As the number of people increases, we will be able to suggest the most suitable vehicle and number of passengers more easily.
Share the time schedule and waiting time
By sharing the times of the opening ceremony, reception, and second reception, and the plans for commemorative photos, you can create a plan that includes waiting time, which makes it easier to create a plan that includes everything. Setting aside enough time ensures peace of mind on a sunny day.
Dress appropriately and make time for elderly people
It is recommended to allow a little time for getting in and out of the kimono and for moving with elderly people or families with children. If you can get on from the front of the house, that extra time is minimal.
For days that overlap with public holidays, make early reservations.
Wedding ceremonies are mostly held during the New Year holidays or on weekends; they overlap on the same day. Once the date is determined, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can provide you with information regarding the venue, number of guests, and desired time.

summary
Wedding and engagement ceremonies often come with the inconvenience of not having all the relatives present, difficulty moving around in formal attire, and carrying too much luggage. These issues can be solved by using a private jumbo taxi that can accommodate everyone at once, and by organizing the entire day around a single plan that includes waiting times. The rates vary based on distance, time, and number of vehicles, so the exact price is not known in advance.Pricing pageWe will provide a quote based on the number of people, but the burden per person will be reduced significantly, and when you split the cost with relatives, traveling together will actually be more convenient. Please welcome the morning of a sunny day without worrying about transportation.
