About this tour
Spend seven hours exploring Kyoto in a private air-conditioned vehicle with local driver Kosuke, who tailors the route to your interests. You'll navigate the city at your own pace, stopping where you choose—whether that's temple districts, traditional neighbourhoods, or lesser-known corners. The vehicle and parking are included; you arrange meals and pay entry fees separately. Best booked as a two-day experience to properly see what matters to you.
Highlights
- Customisable itinerary based on your interests
- Local driver familiar with Kyoto's backroads
- Air-conditioned comfort for full seven hours
- Parking fees covered throughout the day
- Fully wheelchair-accessible vehicle and routes
What to expect
Your driver collects you and follows a route you've planned together beforehand. You'll have flexibility to linger at spots that catch your eye or skip ones that don't. The vehicle does the heavy lifting—no trudging between distant sights on foot. You're responsible for deciding where to eat (plenty of options near any stop) and paying admission to attractions. Kosuke works best when you've flagged your preferences in advance, whether that's gardens, shrines, geisha districts, or craft workshops.
Good to know
Book at least two days if you want to cover Kyoto properly in seven-hour chunks. Confirm your preferred stops when you arrange the booking. The car suits wheelchairs, prams, and small children. Public transport runs nearby if you'd rather hop out and explore on foot between drops.
