Private Car Tours of JapanPrivate Car Tours of Japan with English-Speaking Driver-Guides

Our prices are for the whole car, not per person. A Tokyo city tour starts from $450 and day trips to Mt. Fuji, Hakone or Kamakura start from $500. The price only changes if your group needs a bigger vehicle or you choose our premium Alphard, and you can see the exact price for your group size on each tour page before you book.

On most tours, fuel, highway tolls, parking, hotel pickup and drop-off within the tour's service area, and your driver guide for the whole day are all included. Lunch, drinks and most entrance fees for temples, museums or attractions are not included, so you pay for those as you go. Each tour page lists exactly what is covered, and some tours, like our chopstick making day, include every workshop and entrance fee.

We pick you up from your hotel, Airbnb or other address inside the tour's service area, such as Tokyo's 23 wards for Tokyo tours, and bring you back there at the end of the day. Pickup from outside that area, for example a Yokohama hotel for a Tokyo tour, costs ¥15,000 extra. Airport and cruise port pickups can be added when you book: $100 from Haneda Airport or Tokyo's cruise ports, $150 from Yokohama Port and $250 from Narita Airport.

Cancel 72 hours or more before your tour starts and you get a full refund of what you paid. Cancellations inside 72 hours and no-shows can't be refunded. If severe weather, a natural disaster or another event stops the tour from running, we may offer a full refund or a new date. Refunds usually reach your card within 5 to 10 business days.

Tours run in most weather. Fuji often hides behind clouds, so your driver keeps an eye on the conditions and changes the order of stops to give you the best chance of a clear view. We can't promise the mountain will show itself, but there's plenty to see around the lakes either way.

Yes. Your driver guide speaks English and tells you about each place, the food and local customs as you go. Our drivers hold a Japan Class 2 commercial passenger licence, which is the licence required to carry paying passengers in Japan.
