Japan Private Car Tours

“Amazing One Piece Experience”

We had such an amazing time exploring the One Piece statues with Steve! One thing that really surprised us was how much better the experience became by having a guide. Not only did we save a lot of time getting from one statue to another, but Steve made the whole journey so much more interesting by sharing stories about the region, its history, and little details we would have never known on our own. As huge One Piece fans, this was already something we were really looking forward to during our trip to Japan, and Steve made it even more memorable We couldn't recommend him enough!

“An unforgettable day in Hiroshima with Kate”

We were a group of four Canadian first time travellers to Hiroshima who wanted to optimize our time in this remarkable area. From beginning to end, Kate was a five star professional. We started communicating well before our trip and Kate provided exact instructions for how to get from Osaka to Hiroshima for the day tour right down to the times of trains. We were met at the station, driven around in a very comfortable van, and completed the itinerary like clockwork. Kate focused us on all the beautiful details at each site of Miyajima and also pointed out the ideal photo spots. We thoroughly appreciated Kate introducing us to delicious, local snacks and foods at each spot including grilled oysters, momiji manju, an exceptional okonomiyaki lunch at her favourite food counter and a first class lemon sorbet! Most importantly, Kate presented the history of Hiroshima with the perfect blend of compassionate historical knowledge and thought-provoking insight. This was an unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend Kate for your Hiroshima tour.

“An Outstanding Guide Who Made Hubbys 60th Birthday Truly Special!”

If you’re visiting Nagasaki, I cannot recommend Katsu highly enough! He was absolutely outstanding, and our day with him was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Katsu was warm, friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and wonderfully prepared. He even had a binder filled with fascinating historical facts and photographs that brought Nagasaki’s history to life. We visited Dejima Trading Post, the Atomic Bomb Museum, Peace Park and other historic sites. We enjoyed spectacular city views, explored Glover Garden and saw the beautiful Oura Cathedral. Katsu also took us to a fantastic Wagyu beef restaurant, Yakiniku Pure, for a delicious lunch, followed by a lovely stop at June Coffee. What made Katsu exceptional was his thoughtfulness. I have a minor mobility issue, and he made sure the pace was comfortable without us missing out. He also had an incredible talent for finding parking spots right beside every attraction! It became a running joke, and we had such fun teasing him about his parking skills. He even found a Pokémon-themed manhole cover for me because he knew I loved Pokémon. It’s these little touches that make someone truly special. The most touching moment was when Katsu surprised my husband with a beautiful ceramic gift for his 60th birthday. It was an incredibly kind and unexpected gesture that we’ll always treasure. Katsu’s knowledge, kindness, humour and genuine care made our day unforgettable. He wasn’t simply showing us Nagasaki; he was making sure we had a wonderful experience and created lasting memories. If you’re considering a private tour in Nagasaki, book Katsu! You absolutely won’t regret it. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would happily tour with him again. Thank you, Katsu, for making Drew’s milestone birthday so special!
