Private car tour in Kyoto offers a personal way to see this amazing city. Instead of being stuck on a bus, travelers get their own car and driver. The driver, Kosuke, is a local who knows Kyoto very well. He can help visitors discover the best spots in town.

This tour lets people make their own plans. Want to see a special temple or garden? Just let Kosuke know! He can take groups of up to nine people to places like Sanūsangen-dō Temple, with its many statues, or Nijō Castle, where old rulers lived. You can also visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple, famous for its wooden stage, and Nishiki Market, full of yummy foods. Don't forget the Gion District, where geishas might be seen!

The private car has air conditioning to keep everyone cool and comfortable. Parking fees are also included, so there are no extra costs to worry about. The tour does not include lunch or entrance fees to the different places visited, so visitors should plan for that. Kosuke asks that people book at least two days in advance to make sure he can create the perfect Kyoto experience.
