Sightseeing Taxis in Otaru

Sightseeing taxis are popular because they let you tour the places you want to see at your own pace.
There are also guides who know the history, local specialties, good restaurants and the latest information.

They are handy for people who rarely drive and feel uneasy about renting a car, those with little experience driving on snowy roads, wheelchair users and older travelers. Jumbo taxis for groups are also available.

You can also plan freely, for example a transfer from New Chitose Airport to Otaru, or an hourly taxi tour once you arrive in Otaru.
