How a Custom Tour Day Works
A custom Japan tour begins with your list rather than ours. Send the places you have saved, the things you would rather skip and roughly how long you want to be out. That becomes a route which respects real driving times. When something will not fit into one day, you are told before you book rather than at four in the afternoon.
Four tours in this group are set up to be reshaped. Tokyo, Osaka, Nagano and Yokohama each work as a base you can pull in whatever direction suits you. Guests use them for very different days. One group asks for three temples and a long lunch, the next wants a workshop, a record shop and an hour by the sea.
Having the car with you between stops is what makes this practical. Bags, coats and shopping stay in the vehicle instead of a coin locker on the far side of a station. When rain arrives, the order of the stops changes rather than the whole afternoon. Tired by three? You go back early and nobody argues about it.
Rates are set per vehicle by group size, so adding a fourth or fifth person to the same car does not change the quote. Pickup from your hotel is included and the start time is yours. Some guests leave at seven to beat the crowds. Others prefer a slow morning, a late lunch and a finish after dark.
Tell us what you want the day to feel like and you will get an honest answer about what is realistic in the hours available.
