Accessible Travel & Disability Support in Japan
Travel Buddy kamiina


Welcome to Travel Buddy kamiina

Care-Centered Travel Support from Kyoto
Travel Buddy kamiina provides welfare taxi services, travel companionship, and hands-on support during your journey in Japan.
Based in Kyoto, we focus on travelers who need more than just transportation—those who value safety, dignity, calm pacing, and continuous personal support while exploring Japan.


Our Philosophy

We do not rush your journey. We stay with you, support you, and adjust to your needs—every step of the way.


What Makes Travel Buddy kamiina Different

1. Welfare Taxi with Professional Care Support

Our service begins with a Kyoto-certified welfare taxi, specifically designed for wheelchair users and travelers who require assistance.

More importantly, your driver is also a nationally certified care worker. This ensures:

  • Safe and respectful wheelchair assistance.
  • Support during boarding, transfers, and breaks.
  • Constant attention to your comfort and physical condition.

Transportation and care are provided by the same trusted person, creating stability and peace of mind.

2. Travel Companionship Throughout Your Journey

We do not simply take you from place to place; we accompany you. From the moment you leave your accommodation until you return, we remain by your side—helping you enjoy sightseeing, meals, and seasonal scenery without stress.

This service is ideal for:

  • Seniors traveling alone or with family.
  • Wheelchair users.
  • Travelers who feel safer with a care professional nearby.

3. Sightseeing Hire & Escort Experience

With extensive experience in Sightseeing Hire (chauffeur-driven tourism) and tour escort services, we understand how to travel gently in Japan. Plans are flexibly adjusted based on:

  • Your energy level on the day.
  • Weather and crowd conditions.
  • Your personal interests.

Our Core Services

Our services can be used flexibly depending on your needs. You may choose travel companionship only, support for part of your trip, or welfare taxi service only.

Welfare Vehicle Service

Kyoto-certified wheelchair-accessible vehicles for day trips or longer journeys.

Care Support

Mobility assistance, transfers, and personal care support during travel.

Travel Companionship

Continuous presence throughout your day, offering reassurance and flexibility.

Care-Focused Coordination

Gentle assistance in connecting with licensed travel agencies (supportive role).


A Note on Travel Arrangements (Supportive Role Only)

Travel Buddy kamiina is not a travel agency. When reservations for hotels or tickets are required, we support communication with licensed agencies. All formal contracts are handled directly by the agency to ensure legal compliance and clear responsibilities.


For International Travelers

Traveling in Japan can be challenging when accessibility or care is required. With Travel Buddy kamiina, you have a calm, professional local partner who understands both care needs and Japanese travel culture.

We walk beside you—quietly, respectfully—so you can focus on experiencing Japan, not managing logistics.

Your journey should feel: Safe. Supported. Personal. Human.

Travel at Your Own Pace

From Kyoto to destinations across Japan, Travel Buddy kamiina supports travelers who need care, patience, and trust—not speed. Let us help you create a journey where you are never left alone, and never rushed.

  • There is no obligation to book.
  • We will listen carefully and explain what support is possible.
  • We help you understand your options—calmly and honestly.
