We booked the complimentary airport transfer in advance and were picked up directly at Kyoto Station, saving us some money and hassle. The driver was friendly and professional throughout. On checkout day, there was a unique farewell ritual involving stone tapping — something symbolic for blessings on our journey. It felt meaningful and heartfelt, though I didn’t catch the exact name.
