Japan Private Car Tours

“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.

“What an awesome experience!”

My fiance and I booked this trip and a full day trip with Michael during our time in Miyazaki. Michael was very fun to talk to throughout both tours. The places he took us to showed us a side of Japan that we didn’t know existed. Michael was also very knowledgeable in the history and facts about said places. He was also very accommodating with changing our start time to an earlier time. We’re typically not the type to book guided tours but we throughly enjoyed these tours that Michael curated.

I really enjoyed the company of you and Alexys during these two days, Kristeen. In fact, I'd say that you were the type of model guests who make my job very pleasurable with your excellent manners and pleasant conversation. I hope your entire trip to Japan went well and that your new life back in Canada goes even better!

Thank you for the kind words, Kristeen. And, of course, congratulations! It was an honour to be a tiny part of a big moment and a permanent memory for you. Please spread the word about Miyazaki!
