Why Private Tours

A hassle-free trip at your own pace for your own group

Your Own Party, Guides & Transfer
If you and your party purchase a "private" tour, you won't have to share the experience with anybody else. At every step, you'll have access to knowledgeable local guides who can fill in the blanks in your understanding. A private car will be used for every stage of the trip. Your trip, beginning with your arrival at the airport and ending when you have dropped off again, will be completely stress-free and enjoyable.
Hand-picked Hotels & Restaurants
We're well aware of the need of maintaining a healthy diet and getting enough rest when traveling. In order to provide you with a wide range of options, we take the time to carefully assess each location and choose a wide range of high-quality hotels and restaurants every year. Our goal is straightforward: to provide you with the convenience and coziness of home while you are away from it.
Travel with Full of Flexibility
When taking a private tour, you can expect individualized attention focused on your specific needs. You can travel with complete peace of mind and just have fun, as everything about your vacation is being handled. Simply tell your tour guide what you're most interested in seeing and what you'd rather skip entirely, and he or she will adjust the schedule accordingly.

4 Travel Types for Private Japan Tours

Private Car + Chauffeur Guide (P)
In this mode, we will arrange a private tour guide for you and the guide will be your driver at the same time. It means that you can customize your itinerary based on your interests and schedule. This way can only be arranged in major tourist cities, such as Tokyo, Kyoto and Sapporo, etc. If you want private transfer and private guide, this will be the most affordable way. Also, it is more recommended for groups of 4 to 6 people.
Private Car + Driver (D)
There is no tour guide if you choose this type. We will arrange a private car and driver for you and your group. Your driver can only speak basic English and is responsible for driving, so you need to visit attractions on your own and control the pace of the trip. Its cost is less than traveling in the mode of P (private car + chauffeur guide). If you want a private transfer and don't need other guide services, or travel in a remote area where English-speaking chauffeur guide is not available, this will be a choice.
English-speaking Tour Guide + Local Transportation (G)
It is also a private tour since you have a private tour guide. However, you need to take public transportation when traveling from one site to another, such as the metro and bus, etc (taxi is not on the list). It is a good way to experience local life, but you may spend more time on the road. Besides, due to local customs, the guide will not chat with you on the metro/bus. The G type will be the best choice if you want the most economical private tour, and it is only recommended in the major cities with a highly-developed public transportation system. Please note that this type of trip is not recommended for groups with young children or the elderly because it may involve many walks.
Private Car + Driver + Tour Guide (T)
In this mode, we will arrange a private vehicle with a private driver and tour guide for you and your group. If you have an adequate budget and want the most comfortable trip, or if you have 7 or more people in your group, it will be the best way.

Top Places to Visit in Japan

TOKYO

Tokyo, Japan's capital, is the biggest metropolis in Asia and is home to some well-known Japanese tourist attractions. Senso-Ji Temple, the oldest temple in Tokyo, was built in 628 AD. There is a huge lantern hanging in the center of its entrance, which is the symbol of this area. On the first day of the new year every year, there are huge crowds of people who come to worship. Meiji Shrine, an important Shinto shrine dedicated to Emperor Meiji, is the largest green space in the center of Tokyo, with towering trees and wild birds. In addition, Imperial Palace, Tokyo Sky Tree, and Nakamise Shopping Street are all must-see places for tourists.

MOUNT FUJI & HAKONE
Mount Fuji is one of the iconic representations of Japanese spirit and culture. It is revered as a solemn and sacred mountain with natural charm by the Japanese people. One of the most well-liked places to overlook Mount Fuji is Hakone, which is also well-known for its hot springs.
KYOTO & OSAKA
Kyoto, which is in western Japan, is a culturally and historically significant area, as seen by the shrines, Buddhist pavilions, gardens, artworks, and Kyoto food. After Kyoto, you might as well go shopping and eat in nearby Osaka, offering an authentic experience of the local people.
HIROSHIMA & MIYAJIMA
Hiroshima is the first city in the world to be devastated by an atomic bomb, its Peace Memorial Park was built as a place of prayer for enduring peace. The adjacent Miyajima is a nice extension, where the Itsukushima Shrine appears to float on the water during high tide.
HOKKAIDO
As Japan's northernmost island, it’ll make you spacious and comfortable in comparison to other crowded and prosperous Japanese cities. Winter is the greatest time to visit Hokkaido because of its gorgeous snow landscapes, snow activities, and hot springs in Noboribetsu.
