Can I use local taxi or ride-sharing apps in Kyoto, Japan with my EastESIM?

Updated April 22, 2026

While Uber and Grab have limited presence in Kyoto compared to other Asian cities, EastESIM provides excellent data for using local taxi-hailing apps like GO Taxi or S.RIDE, which are widely accepted and reliable in Japan. You'll also have seamless access to Google Maps for public transport navigation, including the efficient bus and subway systems. EastESIM ensures you can easily get around Kyoto, whether by taxi or public transit, leveraging Japan's superb network.
