Itinerary

About this tour, from the operator

comfortable for luggage, shopping bags, and several passengers.
More comfortable — useful if you're touring Tokyo for many hours or travelling with family.
️ Premium/private feel — an SUV can make a customised tour feel more exclusive than a standard taxi.
Flexible itinerary — you can choose where to go and how long to stay rather than following a fixed tour schedule.
️ Better in bad weather — you can move between attractions without relying as much on trains or walking.
