Japan Private Car Tours

“Nice day in Hiroshima!”

We had a wonderful experience touring Hiroshima and Miyajima with Kate. She was very professional, friendly, and accommodating throughout the day. Communication before the tour was excellent, making everything easy and well organized from the start. We especially appreciated her kindness and willingness to go the extra mile. At the end of the tour, she even accompanied our group into the train station to make sure we knew exactly where to go. That personal touch meant a lot to us! My only suggestion for improvement would be to provide a little more proactive commentary and historical background about the places we were visiting. At times, we found ourselves asking questions to better understand what we were seeing, and a more engaging narrative would have made the experience even more enriching. That said, Kate was a pleasure to spend the day with, and we truly appreciated her professionalism, friendliness, and dedication to making our visit enjoyable. Overall, a great experience, and we would happily recommend Kate to anyone visiting Hiroshima and Miyajima!

“Knowledgeable and friendly ”

Came in essentially just expecting a driver but was quickly and pleasantly surprised. He's very knowledgeable of kumamoto and stepped right in to take pictures and in the drive times spoke to us about local history. I will definitely recommend to anyone who i may know that wants to do this tour.

“Excellent guide! Highly recommend. ”

Akira picked us up at our hotel and took us to Arashiyama's bamboo forest, Kinkaku-ji, Kiyomizu-dera and the Higashiyama streets, and Fushimi Inari. He's knowledgeable, but more than that, he's an excellent storyteller who seemed genuinely excited to share the history. The best part was how he connected each site to the others and wove the whole day into one story. He was friendly and personable, with excellent English, and he's an excellent driver. Early on he asked good questions about what we already knew, what we didn't, and what we like and don't like to eat. For lunch he took us to a great little neighborhood ramen spot in a residential area that tourists would never find on their own. Even if this is the same tour he gives everyone, it felt custom-made for us. Five stars, and highly recommended.
