Tokyo to Kyoto, your way
The bullet train is fast, but it is also crowded, fixed, and no help with luggage or the places in between. A private car turns the journey itself into part of the trip. Leave your Tokyo hotel when you like, watch Mt Fuji pass, stop in Hakone or for a meal, and arrive at your Kyoto ryokan or hotel door, bags and all. It suits families, groups with luggage, and anyone who would rather see the country than a platform. Because every journey differs by route, stops and vehicle, we quote each one clearly in writing before you go.
