We landed at Haneda from Seoul and the immigration line was way longer than we expected. It took almost 70 minutes just to get through everything, and we were honestly a bit worried the driver might leave or charge extra.
But he was still there when we came out, holding a sign and smiling like nothing had happened. No extra fee, no complaints, just helped us with our luggage and got us straight into the Alphard.
We stayed in an Airbnb in Shinjuku, and I'm really glad we didn't try to take the subway after that flight. With two suitcases each, it would've been a nightmare dealing with the crowds and transfers. The ride was smooth, and we could just relax instead of dragging bags through stations.
After that experience, I'd definitely use Octoshell again next time in Japan.

Narita to Hakone, door to door. Alphard spotless, driver professional, price fixed from the start. Been using them for two years and never once had an issue.

Narita to Hakone direct in an Alphard. Driver on time, price agreed upfront, zero hassle. My go-to for whenever friends visit from overseas.

Honestly just wanted to get a group to Nikko without dealing with train changes and lockers. Friend suggested OCTOSHELL and it was the right call. The van was comfortable, driver was professional, and we could just relax the whole way.

He was a good driver because he was very nice to our guests. I am sure all the drivers of his company (貝八方) are very good since they are in a suit with a tie and behave gentle to guests.

On a very positive note, my family absolutely loved Mr. Wang, our driver. They couldn't stop gushing about how polite, helpful, and kind he was throughout the trip — they basically wanted to take him home with them lol.

Blessed with good customers and the driver, I enjoyed guiding everyday. Mr. and Mrs Das took plenty of nice photos of Mt. Fuji and cherry blossoms. As for driver, Mr Du Kun, was the best driver I've ever worked with. Hope to work with him as one team soon again.
