Takaoka private car tour
The tour starts from where you like and ends where you like. It is possible to do this because the tour is done by car. There are attractive sites, but they are dispersed in the area. So I have planned this tour for tourists using a car. Let's go to area's many attractions.

“Ken is amazing, he knows Tokyo and especially the history”
10 star experience, we saw Tokyo from a locals view, Ken knew the Ins and outs of each attraction, how to sidestep the crowds to really see each amazing site. He was a 10 star guide, just great. I will recommend him to everyone I know that is going to Japan

Ken T.
Hello Dwight, Thank you so much for your wonderful review — we truly appreciate your kind words. It was a real pleasure to spend the day with you. We were very lucky with the beautiful weather, which made the tour even more enjoyable. I’m glad you could experience Tokyo from a local perspective while comfortably avoiding the crowds. I also hope your wife was able to enjoy Tokyo Skytree — I understand that heights can be challenging. Since this was your first visit to Japan, I believe you now have a better sense of the country, and on your next trip we would love to show you even more fascinating and unique parts of Tokyo. Your recommendation means a great deal to us. We hope you will have a safe and pleasant journey home and that your memories of Japan will stay with you for many years. You are always welcome back anytime — we would be delighted to guide you again. Warm regards, Ken

“Wonderful day with Hiroshi”
We enjoyed a wonderful day with Hiroshi, while we were in Kochi Japan. He met us with a very luxurious van that could easily accommodate for guest and my wife, and I had it all to ourselves. Begin the day with a tour of the botanical garden, which was outstanding. If you're visiting Japan in the spring, you want to visit discard. Just magnificent (and I'm not a flower guy). Spectacular views looking at the city. He then took us to an original samurai house, which is definitely off the beaten path and a place where tour buses do not go. He even brought along his samurai sword, allowing us to take pictures with different poses. we then visited Kochi Castle. My knees are not so good, so he took us on the sloping path, rather than attempt the stairs. He could not have been more accommodating all day. Highly recommend choosing Hiroshi for any of his tours.

Hiroshi M.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It means a lot to me that you enjoyed the day. The botanical garden was especially beautiful that morning — the south garden had just reopened after a renovation, and we were there on the very first day. Perfect timing. The samurai house is one of those places I always love to include. It is quiet, it is real, and it is the kind of experience you simply cannot find on a group bus tour. For guests with knee concerns or mobility needs, I always plan the route carefully. Kochi Castle has both stairs and a slope, and I make sure we choose the right path from the start. Everyone deserves to enjoy the castle comfortably. I design every tour around my guests — their pace, their interests, and what makes the day feel special for them. That is what private guiding is all about. To be honest, I had a wonderful time too. You were such warm and kind people, and days like this remind me how much I love my work. I hope to welcome you back to Kochi someday. Hiroshi
