The Challenges of Standard Group Tours
Standard group tours often follow rigid schedules that leave no room for your personal
pace or preferences. These journeys can easily turn into “sightseeing by checklist,”
where you simply listen to guides and take photos without any genuine local interaction.
Surrounded by crowds at generic tourist spots, many travelers feel they are missing the
“Real Japan”—often while enduring mass-produced group meals and the stress of long
bus rides with strangers.

We provide fully customized tours that eliminate all the limitations of standard group travel,
ensuring an unforgettable and deeply personal journey through Kyushu.

Type of accommodation in Japanese tourist destinations
Japanese tourist destinations offer both Western-style and Japanese-style hotels.
 |
 |
 |
Western-style hotels:
Major cities in Japan offer a wide range of Western-style hotels that meet international
standards. Ranging from global luxury chains to high-quality local brands, these hotels
provide the comfort of standard beds and private ensuite bathrooms in every room
Japanese-style hotels
These are commonly known as “Ryokan.” They are primarily located in “Onsen” (hot spring)
resorts. This style of accommodation, based on traditional Japanese inns, offers an
immersive cultural experience that prioritizes relaxation, seasonal aesthetics, and the spirit
of Japanese hospitality known as “Omotenashi.”

Why We Offer Services Using Private Vehicles
We offer customized tours using private vehicles, recognizing the following key advantages
for our guests.
 |
 |
 |
Total Flexibility & Time Efficiency
Unlike trains or buses, a private vehicle follows your schedule, not a timetable. We can stay longer
at a sacred site that touches your heart or stop spontaneously when we encounter a breathtaking
view in Aso.
Access to Hidden Gems and Remote Destinations
Many of Kyushu’s most profound sacred sites and scenic vistas are tucked away in remote areas.
A private vehicle is the only way to reach these “hidden gems” comfortably and efficiently.
Seamless Comfort & Local Insight
Forget the stress of navigating complex maps or carrying heavy luggage. In the privacy of your
vehicle, you can rest between stops or engage in deep conversations with your guide about local
history and culture.
