Chauffeured Transfer to Tokyo Teleport Station and Four More
A butler at the wheel of the Alphard, between the Manor and five points, for up to six guests
About Chauffeured Transfer to Tokyo Teleport Station and Four More
The transfer is a journey in a black Toyota Alphard driven by a butler of Queen's Butler The Studio, between the Manor at 2-7-4 Aomi, Koto-ku, Tokyo and five points: Tokyo Teleport Station (Rinkai Line), Tokyo International Cruise Terminal Station (Yurikamome), DiverCity Tokyo Plaza, Aqua City Odaiba and Decks Tokyo Beach. We do not travel beyond these five. Up to six guests may ride. The transfer accompanies your plan. On some days the vehicle is unavailable, so availability is confirmed when you book.
Once you are ready at the Manor, your butler arranges the way to the station or venue
A transfer is not simply a car journey; it is the joining of your preparations at the Manor to whatever comes next. Your butler works back from your departure time, checks your attire and belongings, and leads you to the door. There is no need to keep glancing at the clock.
At the door, your butler bows and opens the door of the Alphard. With an eye to your footing and the hem of your dress, your butler sees everyone seated in turn before closing the door. Please tell us before departure which items — important papers, camera equipment — you wish to keep to hand and which may go in the luggage compartment.
A green room before a performance, an important meeting, the journey after a shoot: what matters most differs with the reason for the transfer. Your butler asks in advance which of the five points you are travelling to or from, your preferred arrival time and the number in your party, and reconciles these with the day's schedule at the Manor. Travelling alone, the car can be your last quiet moment of preparation; travelling as a pair, a chance to settle who says what.

The butler at the wheel keeps the next scene in view throughout the journey
A butler's attendance means watching over you from the moment you step into the car until you are handed on to the next person at the entrance of the station or venue. While driving, your butler keeps track of the number of guests, the luggage and the point at which each will alight.
In the car, your butler asks before loading which papers or garments you will need as soon as you alight, so that they are within reach. As arrival draws near, your butler briefly confirms your plans and whom you will be meeting. When you would rather not talk, your butler stays quietly in reserve.
To the guest re-reading notes, the guest closing their eyes before a performance, the guest in conversation with a companion, your butler does not keep talking. Reading expressions and hands, and speaking only when needed: that is the distance a butler keeps.
The Studio with a butler

At the moment that allows for the journey, your butler calls you and checks your attire and belongings. For a group, we also confirm that everyone is present.
Board in turn
Your butler opens the door of the Alphard and guides each guest in, with an eye to footing and dress. What has gone into the luggage compartment is checked last.
QMay I book the transfer on its own?
We do not offer the transfer on its own. It accompanies a Studio plan at the Manor. On some days the vehicle is unavailable, so availability is confirmed when you book. We ask together what you will do at the Manor, which of the five points you need, and your preferred time.

The transfer accompanies your plan and there is no separate charge. However, the vehicle is unavailable on some days, so availability is confirmed when you book.

QHow long does the journey take?
As it varies with the destination, the hour and road conditions, we do not quote a fixed number of minutes. We ask the time you must keep, and time your preparations at the Manor and the moment of departure accordingly.
QDoes the butler drive?
Yes. The car is a black Toyota Alphard, and your butler attends to the door, the luggage and the way ahead once you alight.
QCan you carry costumes and camera equipment?
