Japan Private Car Tours

“Akira tour guide”

Akira, was honestly by far the best tour guide I have ever encounted in Japan so far. I booked the Kyoto tour mainly to experience and understand the culture and history. I sure did learn a lot that day! He was very flexible, patient and kind, went above and beyond ensuring we covered all spots of the tour. It gave me soo much insight into the history of kyoto and culture. I only wished I had more time to do Osaka, i would defintely use him again and recommend him to anyone that wants to do kyoto. I have told him next time I am bringin my parents with me and booking him again. I really appreciated his time and the extensvie knowledge he has about the place. I highly recommend 5 out 5 rating! Thank you so much Akira!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and your kind words. I truly enjoyed spending the day with you, sharing the culture and history of Kyoto. Our conversations were not only enjoyable but also a great learning experience. As you mentioned, I sincerely hope to meet your parents in Kyoto next time. Since they enjoy history, I’m sure we’ll have many more fascinating topics to explore together. Thank you again, and I look forward to seeing you again in Kyoto!

“Fun times in Osaka”

Tatsuya is one of the friendliest Japanese. He tried his best to show is Osaka. In complicated descriptions of historic events he would know where English descriptions are in the Osaka castle so we understood some of the finer details. He took us to a proper Japanese restaurant for lunch which had great food. One thing that's different in Japan is you also need to pay for your tour guides entry fees or tram ticket . As long as you know this then there isn't any surprises. He showed us many parts of Osaka in his nice air conditioned car which helped a lot when it was so hot outside. Saved us from lots of walking and sunstroke. The kids wanted to go to a cat cafe so he also took us there. We asked him if he would hang out for dinner with us and he did. Recommend Tatsuya for a cool tour of the city.

It was truly a pleasure to be your family's guide! I had a wonderful time not only touring but also chatting about all sorts of things. I am also very grateful for the lovely dinner you treated me to. I look forward to the chance to meet you again someday.

“Excellent Kyoto Experience with Kanae-san!”

We had a wonderful day exploring Kyoto with Kanae-san. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. The early start allowed us to visit some of Kyoto's most beautiful highlights before the crowds arrived, which made the day even more special. One of the highlights was the amazing local lunch she recommended and arranged for us! it was absolutely delicious and something we probably would not have discovered on our own. Kanae-san was attentive throughout the tour, shared interesting insights about Kyoto's history and culture, and made us feel very comfortable. We highly recommend Kanae-san to anyone visiting Kyoto, especially first-time travelers looking for a personalized and memorable experience. Thank you for such a fantastic day! Love, Brooke and Mark
