Though the capacity of a sedan taxi is up to 3 guests + a guide, we recommend this tour for up to 2 guests + a guide. It is difficult for 3 big guests to sit in the rear seat. In this case, we highly recommend to choose a van taxi tour instead of sedan taxi tour.
Please note that visitors need to climb approximately 100 stone steps from the ropeway station to the main shrine building of Kunozan Toshogu Shrine. This visit may be difficult for guests with limited mobility or difficulty walking. For these guests, we recommend our " Step-free Easy going Tour" instead.
