Kyoto Private Car Tours

“Heartfelt Enthusiasm”

Akira's enthusiasm and love for Kyoto were contagious. He designed a tour with our special interests in mind, and was able to take us to beautiful places that were not inundated with tourist groups. As a bonus, he also knows the exact spots for taking the ultimate vacation photos. Thank you Akira for our lovely outing in Kyoto.

“Where Farmers and Monks came together! ”

An amazing tour that calms the inner soul ! I know this sounds a bit poetic, but finding out more about Shinto and Buddhist is fascinating. I feel, it is after all the essence of Japan. Akira San welcomes you as an “ old friend “ he has so much historical knowledge which he cascades in a delightful way , especially whilst surrounded by amazing foliage in a moss garden. On a practical note, Akira San is very punctual, his car is very clean and comfortable with great air con. Nothing is too much trouble , he’s interested in ensuring you are comfortable and enjoying the tour. He has a nice selection of eateries available to suggest . This is a third tour we did with Akira San , the tours have been excellent quality , full of amazing facts , presented in an exciting way. We would highly recommend the tours and wish Akira San continuous success!

Thank you so much for your wonderful and heartfelt review! It was truly a pleasure to share these experiences with you for the third time. I’m so happy that you enjoyed exploring Japan’s spiritual traditions, history, and beautiful gardens with me. Your kind words mean a lot to me and inspire me to keep doing what I love. I hope we’ll have another opportunity to explore more of Japan together in the future. Until then, wishing you all the very best.

“Great experience with Atsushi”

We had a full day Kyoto tour with Atsushi. It’s been wonderful! Atsushi has great personality and lots of knowledge. He’s been extra flexible: picked us up early (8am) at a remote location, accommodated our ad-hoc desire to see a wonderful bonsai place and a street festival, and even went with us to a local department store to help buy some things. Atsushi’s vehicle was fully comfortable for our party of 4, and could have accomodated 6 passengers with a bit of squeeze in the middle row. Overall, a very satisfying trip. Thank you Asushi!

Dear Myro, thank you as well! Your family was so curious and noticed things I usually overlook, which made it a truly fun experience for me too. I wish you all a safe and wonderful rest of your trip. Next time you come to Japan for a longer stay, please reach out again!
