Why Choose This Experience
Essential for Mobility Needs

Climate Control Throughout
Tokyo summers hit 35°C with 80% humidity—air-conditioned breaks between neighborhoods prevent exhaustion even for healthy travelers

Evening tours run late without midnight train stress—comfortable drinking, no rushing, door-to-hotel when you're done
Tokyo Private Tours by Car Highlights
What Our Guests Say
"I'd been to Tokyo many times before and still had never seen or heard of most everything he included in our tour. We liked it so much, we immediately booked a second day!"
"It felt like we were touring with a friend who lives in Japan. Rina adapted the tour for our diverse group — kids from 7 to their 20s. Some of our best memories were things she improvised."
"My family wanted anime stuff and everything else jam packed into the day. Satoshi did not disappoint. My family is still raving about this tour days later!"
"Felt like we'd known him for years. Wanted an authentic lunch with no Ramen for a change — a 3rd floor Hot Pot Restaurant we never would have found."

Your Journey
Hotel Pickup at Your Entrance
Car picks you up at hotel lobby at tour start time. Guide either arrives in the car or meets you at first location. Driver stays with vehicle while you and guide explore each neighborhood on foot, returns when ready to move on.
- No station navigation, no exit finding, no platform waiting
- Dropped at optimal entry point for each neighborhood (often closer than stations)
- Standard service uses sedans for 1-4 people, vans for 5-6 at same price
On-Foot Exploration with Car Nearby
Car service doesn't eliminate walking—tours like Timeless Tokyo involve extensive temple grounds and cemetery paths even with car. It removes transit walking between neighborhoods. You explore Tsukiji Market on foot, car waits and drives you to next area.
- Guide coordinates with driver throughout day (both speak Japanese)
- Bathroom breaks, timing adjustments, plan changes handled in real-time
- All vehicles clean, well-maintained, air-conditioned, professional drivers
Route Planning Accounts for Congestion
Tokyo traffic varies dramatically—Shibuya to Asakusa might take 15 minutes at 10am or 60 minutes at 6pm. Trains run every 2-4 minutes regardless. Guide builds buffer time into car-based tours, but you might spend more time in transit than planned.
- Peak traffic: 7:30-9:30am, 11am-12pm lunch, 5-7pm evening rush
- East-west routes crossing Tokyo face more congestion than compact routes
- Drivers use Yahoo! Car Navi or built-in systems with VICS traffic data
Paid Separately from Guide Fee
Car service paid directly to car company, separate from tour guide fees to Hinomaru One. Typically charges credit card after tour completion, though some require advance payment. Concierge provides specific details during booking.
- 4 hours: ¥50,000 (~$330)
- 6 hours: ¥60,000 (~$400)
- 8 hours: ¥77,000 (~$510)
