Looking to get to: https://kumamoto.guide/en/spots/detail/12143 but it doesn’t look like it has any train/bus service. There is a shuttle during school events but unlikely to be running by the time I get there.
Would renting a car be the better option or figuring out how to call a taxi with a language barrier be better? I’m from the USA and I don’t mind getting an IDP but feels like a lot of work getting used to driving on the other side of the road just for this particular destination. So I’m leaning towards using this taxi https://kumataku.com/ but may have trouble with the language. Also I don’t know what the fare will be assuming they pick me up directly at the hotel and dropping me off.

Hi, I just did a quick check on google and from Kumamoto JR station a taxi would take about an hour and cost would be about 10,000¥. This would be one way.
Hope it helps! 🙂
With taxi booking, the place you stay at should be able to organise for you. “(Place name)ni + ikitai” means “I want to go to (place name)”
You can use a translator app or clock on your phone for the time.
There are bus connections from both Kumamoto Sakuramachi Bus Terminal and Matsubase station, both via a connection in Sakamata-no-yu. The connection detail is available in Japanese from the town website: [https://www.town.kumamoto-misato.lg.jp/q/aview/71/1917.html](https://www.town.kumamoto-misato.lg.jp/q/aview/71/1917.html)
