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 land that opened to the world earliest in Japan. However, the charm of this island lies in the blueness of its sea, the tranquility of its slopes, and the subtle signs of daily life, all of which gently stir the traveler's senses.
The taxi service we provide is not merely a means of transportation. It is a small, private concierge designed to help you connect more authentically with the essence of Hirado.
**■ Why "Taxi"?**
Hirado's beauty is hidden in places that cannot be reached by map alone. The labyrinthine cobblestone slopes, the sea stretching beyond cliffs, and the sudden appearance of church spires—we want you to savor each of these with a sense of mental spaciousness. Free yourself from the stress of driving in an unfamiliar place or searching for routes, and simply absorb the scenery flowing past your car window. This very sense of ease enhances the depth of your travel experience.
**"Crossroads of Culture and Faith"**
From the villages of hidden Christians to groups of churches. We will guide you through World Cultural Heritage sites and "landscapes where temples and churches coexist," blending Japanese and Western influences. Our local drivers will take you to the "most beautiful times" known only to them.
**"Power of the Land, Source of Craftsmanship"**
Hirado-yaki (Mikawa-chi ware) and traditional sweets. Visit workshops that have continued for over 400 years and confectioneries that have preserved traditions since the era of Namban trade. You can experience firsthand the "honest craftsmanship" of artisans who prioritize materials over mere technique.
Mikawa-chi ware
Hirado's famous "Casdoce" confectionery
**"Dynamism of the Farthest Reaches"**
Ikitsuki Sunset Way and cliff landscapes. We will take you to the overwhelmingly vast cliffs of Ikitsuki Island. We will lead you deep into Hirado's wild nature, places difficult to reach by public transport. This is a journey to find the "most beautiful light" unique to that day and moment.
Ikitsuki Island's Sunset Road
Through a journey by car, Kikka Hirado aims to deliver the "essence" that Hirado has quietly preserved. Please come and experience a side of Hirado that will deeply root itself in your memories, far beyond merely tracing tourist spots.
