Toyama Private Car Tours

“Amazing tour guide! ”

We truly enjoyed our tour today with Naoto. His English is excellent, and he has an impressive depth of knowledge. Even though the journey was quite long, it felt enjoyable and engaging because Naoto shared so many fascinating stories about Toyama and Japan — from history and geography to local food and fun facts. Our route today included the Shōgawa Gorge Winter Cruise and Shirakawago. We also stopped at a beautiful scenic viewpoint and visited a lovely paper crafts shop, which made the experience even more special. Naoto also took us to a delicious restaurant for Hida beef and katsu, which was absolutely amazing. We’re still thinking about how good it was Highly recommended tour guide!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I am thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our journey to the Shōgawa Gorge and Shirakawago. It was truly a pleasure sharing the stories of Toyama’s history and geography with you—it makes the long drives feel much shorter when I have such engaged guests! I’m especially glad you enjoyed the paper crafts shop and that the Hida beef lived up to the hype. It was a highlight for me as well. I hope to see you back in Japan again soon!

“A perfect day thanks to our guide Naoto ”

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our guide, Naoto, during our trip to Japan. He took us to Shirakawa-go and Shogawa Yuran, and the entire day was perfectly organized and unforgettable. Naoto is not only an incredibly knowledgeable guide but also a safe and professional driver. He shared fascinating insights about the history, culture, and local traditions of Shirakawa-go, making the visit even more meaningful. He was punctual, friendly, and very attentive to our needs throughout the trip. We felt comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and kind guide in Japan, we highly recommend Naoto. He made our trip extra special, and we would happily tour with him again!

Diana and your beloved husband, Thank you so much for joining my tour to the Shogawa River cruise and Shirakawa-go. It was a true pleasure to guide such Japan enthusiasts, especially those who appreciate "off-the-beaten-track" destinations. I also want to thank you for the wonderful review. Your kind words are a great encouragement to me as a guide. If you ever want to explore more hidden gems in Japan, I would be happy to show you around again. Enjoy the rest of your holiday in Japan!

“Toyama River Cruise and favorite local Ramen Hidden Gems”

Yoji’s service is always to the fullest. He was willing to adjust the pace and asked lots of questions to make sure he understand what we wanted. And he did. We booked him on 2 seperate days, and so he spent 2 nights waiting for us. He even was willing to pick us from hotel and drop us for dinner together. His English is impeccable. His global knowledge is also a plus. Really recommend him for private tour.
