If you want to visit as many cities as possible during your limited stay in Japan.
In such cases, private car tours are recommended.
Avoid crowded buses, tedious train transfers, and expensive taxies.

“Yoshiroh-san is a great guide! ”
Despite some miscommunication between the guest and the agent, Yoshiroh-san did his best throughout the tour. He was very polite and a wonderful guide. If you're looking for a food tour in Osaka, I highly recommend joining one of his tours! :)

“Great day around Kyoto and Nara Park!”
Yoshiroh took us to all of the top tourist sites in Kyoto and Nara via rental car which was a quicker way to move from location to location so that we could take our time at all of the beautiful Kyoto sites. We also found a very special Japanese Curry restaurant for lunch!! Highly recommend Yoshiroh as a tour guide.
Yoshiroh N.
I'm sure you must have been tired after visiting so many places and walking a lot, but I'm glad you had an enjoyable trip. Thank you very much! Please come back to Japan again! And that curry was...yes,amazing!

“Osaka full day tour”
I enjoyed my day with Yoshi as my guide in Osaka. From the start, in communicating with Yoshi ideas of an itinerary, he was helpful and flexible. In the end I landed on an itinerary that included Osaka Castle, Dotonbori , Shitennoji Temple and Shinsekai. Yoshi was informative about the sights we visited as well as answering questions that I had. Yoshi is highly professional and I am fortunate that I had him as my guide . Thank you Yoshi!

I am glad you enjoyed it! It was a very enjoyable day for me too, as we talked about many things! I want to go to Canada someday!
