Analysis
NearMe has expanded its hourly charter service for larger vehicles from the Kanto region to Osaka and Kyoto, Hokkaido, Tokai and Okinawa. The service is most useful for travellers with luggage or elderly family members, because what it removes is not distance but the exhausting parts — changing vehicles, dragging bags, finding the right stop. For families planning independent travel in Japan, options like this are often easier to arrange in peak season than taxis or rental cars.
