DAIKO
Don't drive drunk on Miyako! They have a very nice service called "DAIKO." Local, sober people will drive you, your buddies and your car home for a very reasonable fee, probably no more than �2,000, no strings attached. It is completely safe and legit. Ask at your watering hole or in most parking lots.
