Nagasaki Prefecture, Hirado City. Kikka Hirado, an inn nestled in a port town where exotic breezes gently mingle, will offer a "Sightseeing Taxi Option" for its guests starting in 2026.
Hirado is known as the first place in Japan to open its doors to the world. However, the true charm of this island lies in the blueness of its sea, the quietness of its坂道 (sloping streets), and the sense of daily life, all of which gently stir the traveler's sensibilities.
The taxis we provide are not just a means of transportation. They are a small, private concierge service, designed to help you connect more genuinely with the essence of Hirado.
## Why a "Taxi"?
The beauty of Hirado lies in places that cannot be reached by map alone. The labyrinthine cobblestone slopes, the sea stretching beyond cliffs, and the suddenly appearing church spires—we want you to savor each of these with a calm mind. Freed from the stress of driving or route finding in an unfamiliar land, you can simply take in the scenery flowing past the car window. This very sense of ease enhances the resolution of your journey.
## "Crossroads of Culture and Faith"
From the villages of hidden Christians to the cluster of churches. We will guide you through World Cultural Heritage sites and scenes where Japanese and Western cultures blend, such as "temples and churches visible together." Local drivers will take you to experience the "most beautiful time of day" that only they know.
## "The Power of the Land, the Origin of Craftsmanship"
Hirado-yaki (Mikawa-chi ware) and traditional sweets. Visit studios with over 400 years of history and confectionery shops that have preserved traditions since the era of Namban trade. You can experience firsthand the artisans' "honest craftsmanship," which prioritizes materials over intricate techniques.
