Japan Private Car Tours

“Proof That a Great Guide Changes Everything”

We had a fantastic experience with our personal tour guide, Akira. He was extremely informative without ever being overwhelming, and his enthusiasm made the entire day engaging and fun. What really stood out was how well he personalized the tour to our interests, adjusting the pace and focus to match what we cared about most rather than following a rigid script. Akira was easy to talk to, knowledgeable about both history and local culture, and happy to answer any questions along the way. The tour felt relaxed, personal, and thoughtfully put together. Highly recommended if you want a guide who truly tailors the experience to you rather than just checking boxes.

“Convenient Ride with a Friendly Driver”

Kota was extremely kind and very easy to be around, and having a private car to get to each location was definitely convenient and enjoyable. We appreciated his friendliness and willingness to help, and he truly was a super nice guy. That said, the experience felt more like a chauffeur service than a guided tour. We often had to ask for information at each stop, and there was limited background or explanation provided about the places we visited. At times, it felt like we were sharing more about life in the USA with him than learning about Japan from him. Overall, we enjoyed meeting Kota and valued the convenience of the car, but for the price we were hoping for a more informative and immersive tour experience. He is a wonderful person, and with more guiding and local insight, this could be an even better experience!

Thank you very much for your kind review. I truly enjoyed spending the last two days of 2025 in Kyoto with you and your family as well. We shared wonderful meals and experienced the rich culture and charm of this historic city together, which made the time especially memorable for me. I sincerely hope we will have the opportunity to meet again in the new year of 2026. Wishing you all the best, take care, and thank you once again.
