Japan Private Car Tours

“Great evening ride through Tokyo!”

Yuji is a really fun guide! We drove through the city to Tokyo Bay, which is beautiful at night, and took a walk through the nightlife in Kabukichu. Communication before we met was breezy and Yuji-san is one interesting cat, We had a great evening. Highly recommend!

“Fantastic guide and tour”

Akira-san is an excellent guide. He genuinely wants you to learn about Kyoto's sites in the context of the history of Japan. He presents it in an accessible and fun way. We appreciated that he recommended restaurants where locals eat and had helpful tips for our travels.

“A Fantastic Day in Kochi with Hiroshi—Local Flavors and Thoughtful Extras!”

We had a wonderful day exploring Kochi with Hiroshi! We hired him with a car service, which made traveling between sights comfortable and easy and allowed us to experience so much in one day. He was knowledgeable, easy to understand, and shared interesting information about Kochi, its history, and local culture throughout our tour. We explored Ryugado Cave, a beautiful limestone cave and a welcome cool break from the heat. At Tosa Tsubohachiya, we saw knives hand-forged by local craftsmen. We also visited Kochi Castle, one of Japan’s few original castles, where we climbed the steep stairs all the way to the top! A particular highlight was Hirome Market. Hiroshi’s authentic food recommendations made lunch an experience we will always remember. We enjoyed crispy Yasubei gyoza, Tosa wagyu, seared bonito with salt and with sauce, bonito sashimi, aosa nori tempura, and fresh fruit. We also sampled local Keigetsu sake. It was an incredible introduction to Kochi’s local flavors, and we appreciated having his guidance on what to try. An especially thoughtful touch was that Hiroshi brought a professional camera and photographed our group throughout the day. He shared a Google photo album with us that same day! It was incredibly generous and so nice to have beautiful memories with all of us in the pictures. Hiroshi made our day enjoyable, informative, and memorable. The combination of fascinating sights, delicious local food, comfortable transportation, and his thoughtful approach made this a wonderful tour. We’re so glad we hired him and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Kochi!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It was a real pleasure to spend the day with your group of five. September in Kochi can still be very hot, so I am glad Ryugado Cave was a nice cool start to the day. It was also great to see you all climb the steep stairs to the top of Kochi Castle. The view from there is always worth it! Hirome Market is one of my favorite places to share with guests. Katsuo no tataki with salt and with sauce, Yasubei gyoza, Tosa wagyu, and local sake are all things I really want visitors to try. I am happy the food became such a special memory for you. Taking photos during the tour is my small gift to every guest. I want you to enjoy the moment without worrying about the camera, and I am glad you liked having everyone in the pictures together. Thank you again for choosing to explore Kochi with me. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your cruise around Japan, and I would love to welcome you back to Kochi someday!
