Im currently visiting Kyoto with my wife and one of our best friends, and we were out in the city late the other night, and it was dark and stormy, so we decided to take a taxi home.
We found one on the side of the road with the door wide open (weird), and it was an old antique car (weird - most taxis are newer cars), and an old man with long swoopy white hair. We got in, and noticed he had an old garmin gps, and an old phone, and he couldnt figure out how to get our destination on his gps, so he just held my phone the whole time while driving (weird).
On the way, we noticed that he barely knew how to drive like hed give it a little gas then brake really hard, then gas then brake again, over and over like he just learned how to drive yesterday.
And he kept doing and saying odd shit. Like wow these gps are so convenient! and wed nervously laugh, and hed just do this loud high pitched creepy laugh back at us.
And hed yell shit like GO GO GO!
I started to think wed been abducted by a serial killer or something, and I glanced at my wife and friend, and found out their phones had somehow both died, and he was holding my phone, so our lives were just in this guys hands I guess
It was like the scariest taxi ride ever, and it was so dark and rainy, we could barely see. But we finally got to our hotel, and he didnt really care about the money (weird), and then I gave him a little bit more yen than was owed, and he still didnt care (also weird - people over here are really particular about exact change)
When we got inside, we looked it over up to see if there was a yokai taxi driver, and sure enough - Oboroguruma from Kyoto
