I highly recommend Mr. Doi as a taxi/sightseeing option in Kyoto:

I doubt his Nissan El Grand taxi is ok for you without a lift from 1 or 2 people into and out of - but you seem to be ok with people doing that for you. BTW - Mr. Doi is 67 now (same age as my husband) and I'm sure you wouldn't be the first person who wasn't 100% physically ok he's ever encountered. Robyn
