City Drive in Japan: Your driver, your schedule, your perfect day.
Love shopping but hate carrying bags? In our private City Drive tour in Japan, your bags are in the trunk while you explore the next stop. Buy what you desire without worrying about how to carry it home.
Why Book a City Drive?
Japanese cities are amazing, but are exhausting. Many complex subway maps, fighting rush hour crowds, and walking 20,000 steps a day isn't a vacation.
Our Private City Drive Tour in Japan changes everything. Your English-speaking driver picks you up at your hotel lobby. You drop your shopping bags in the trunk, charge your phone in the captain's seat, and zip between districts while others are stuck in the station. Whether you want to hit the tourist icons or hidden local gems, we make it effortless.
Sample Itinerary : Kuidaore Loop
This plan is an example; the whole trip is customizable.
09:00 AM | Hotel Pickup
Door-to-door service from your hotel or Shin-Osaka Station.
09:30 AM | Osaka Castle
Explore the majestic fortress and its massive stone walls without the long walk from the train station.
11:30 AM | Kuromon Ichiba Market
The "Kitchen of Osaka." Your driver drops you at the entrance to sample fresh scallops, wagyu, and tuna.
01:30 PM | Shinsekai & Tsutenkaku
Step back in time to the retro 1912 district. Great for photos and "Kushikatsu" (fried skewers).
03:30 PM | Umeda Sky Building
Ride the floating garden escalator for a panoramic view of the skyline.
05:00 PM | Shinsaibashi Shopping
Walk the massive covered arcade. Leave your heavy bags in the van as you shop.
06:30 PM | Dotonbori Drop-off
We drop you right near the Glico Man sign for a dinner under the neon lights (or take you back to your hotel).
As low as ¥33,000 / person
Best For:
First-Time Visitors: Those who want to see the "Greatest Hits" of a city without getting lost in complex train stations.
Families & Seniors: Groups who need door-to-door service to avoid the physical strain of stairs, heat, and crowds.
Efficient Explorers: Travelers who want to cover 2 days' worth of sightseeing in a single loop.
Why Book This:
Master the Metropolis: Japanese cities are vast. A private vehicle connects distant districts (like Asakusa to Shibuya, or Kinkaku-ji to Fushimi Inari) seamlessly, saving you hours of transit time.
Sanctuary from the Stress: The streets are exciting but exhausting. Your private van is a quiet, air-conditioned where you can recharge, store your shopping bags, and relax between stops.
Your Day, Your Way: Unlike bus tours, you are the boss. Stay longer at the castle, skip the museum, or make a detour for the best ramen in town your driver follows your lead.
