Looking to explore popular attractions in the suburbs of Kanto, Japan, from Tokyo with ease?
We offer a 10-hour private tour service with a Chinese-speaking driver, departing from designated hotels in the 23 wards of Tokyo. You will not need to navigate complex transportation routes or frequently transfer between trains and buses.
Whether it is the nostalgic streetscapes of Kawagoe Old Town (Koedo Kawagoe), the romantic scenery of Yokohama Port, the ocean views and cuisine of Atami, the World Heritage sites of Nikko, the forest and lake views of Karuizawa, or the seasonal flower fields of Ibaraki, you can plan your trip according to your preferences.
[Package A | Recommended Routes for Tokyo Suburbs] Suitable for travelers visiting the Tokyo suburbs for the first time who do not want to spend time planning an itinerary. We provide recommended routes featuring classic attractions, family-friendly spots, gourmet food, nature, and culture based on your destination.
[Package B | Customizable Private Tour for Tokyo Suburbs] Suitable for travelers who already have specific attractions in mind. After selecting a primary destination, you can propose the attractions you wish to visit, and our Customer Support will assist in confirming the route and schedule.
All recommended routes are based on a 10-hour private tour service, including travel time to and from your hotel, dining, and time spent at attractions. Areas like Nikko and Karuizawa are further from Tokyo, and we cannot guarantee that all attractions in the recommended routes can be completed within 10 hours. The overtime fee is JPY 5,000 per vehicle per hour. Overtime fees must be paid to the driver on-site.
