Japan Private Car Tours

“Pleasant strolls in Kanazawa”

It was a wonder afternoon the driver has given us. He took us around in the Higashi Chaya area. With his limited English, and my limited Japanese. We were able to communicate. But for some reason some of the places were closed earlier then normal, so we ended our tour an hour early, which was still nice.

“Beautiful, Serene, and Delicious”

We had a fantastic day trip to Shiga from Kyoto with Nori. He tailored the tour perfectly to fit the time we had, and it was such a treat to escape the hustle and bustle of Kyoto. Every stop was peaceful, beautiful, and felt like a hidden gem. Traveling by private car allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the surroundings. Nori speaks fluent English, which made communication easy. He took us to some incredible off-the-beaten-path spots that we never would have found on our own. For our sixteen-year-old, the highlight of the day was enjoying Omi beef at a charming little restaurant with a private Japanese garden. The servers wore traditional kimonos, and we had the entire place to ourselves. The chef prepared the meal right in front of us—it was an unforgettable experience. We've had Wagyu before, but Omi beef was even better! Shiga is absolutely worth the trip, especially if you're staying in Kyoto. Of all the private day tours we did in Japan, this one was truly one of our favorites. Thank you, Nori!

I am so happy to hear that you really enjoyed the tour in Shiga. As you said, there are quite a lot of historical places in the area which are often older than Kyoto yet many people even Japanese don’t know their existence. Oumi and Kobe beefs are the top quality beefs in Japan. Luckily when we went to the restaurant, the special section was offered just to us. Hope you can come back to enjoy the amazing teppanyaki beef!! Take care!

“Night time Tokyo drive”

Enjoyed a night time drive around Tokyo with Shunta and Kota last night. He was very professional and polite. A highlight was seeing the beautiful Rainbow Bridge and the Tokyo skyline. They were happy to take photos and we enjoyed learning more about Japan. I would recommend Shunta highly.
