This page provides a summary of ride-sharing (car-dispatch application/service) information for Awaji Island.
Ride-sharing services are convenient for people without cars and foreign travelers for sightseeing. Especially in sightseeing areas in rural areas of Japan, public transportation such as trains and buses are inadequate, so it is convenient to be able to get around by car.
Currently, ridesharing is prohibited by law in Japan, and only cabs can be hailed through car-dispatch applications/services. However, the shortage of cabs due to inbound tourism demand has triggered renewed discussion on the revision of the law.
This article provides a summary of the Awaji Island area vehicle dispatch status for typical ride-sharing (vehicle dispatch apps/services).
Until the ban on ride-sharing (delivery apps/services) is lifted, please use the Awaji Island cab companies listed in the following article.
