Overview

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. I will cover all major sightseeing spots in Kyoto and Osaka in one day in comfort! Please make your reservations well in advance, as rental cars must be arranged. The fee includes rental car, insurance, gasoline, highway tolls, and parking. No further transportation fees are required! For up to 4 people, I will use Toyota Roomy. For up to 6 people, I will use Toyota Noah. The itinerary is just an example, destinations can be changed according to your needs. More than you think, English is not spoken in Japan. To enjoy a trouble-free trip, please contact me!
