Anywhere in Japan,
entirely to yourselves

For the whole group, for the whole day — up to 6 guests. BUSHIDO Private at ¥300,000 works out at roughly ¥50,000 each with six of you. It never changes based on how many of you there are.

The car. BUSHIDO Guide gives you your own guide for the day and you travel by train, on foot and by taxi — perfect in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Hiroshima and Fukuoka. BUSHIDO Private adds a private Alphard and driver, which is what makes Shirakawa-go, Kanazawa, Nagano, Hokkaido and Okinawa work at all. Each destination page tells you honestly which one we would pick.

On the six days a month he guides personally, yes — that is the ¥500,000 plan and it books out early. Every other day is led by a BUSHIDO Certified Guide he has trained and shadowed himself. Ask on the form and we will tell you straight which dates are still his.

All 47. Twelve have a written itinerary on this site because they are the ones we are asked for most; every other prefecture is arranged to order. Tell us where you want to go and we will build the day around it.

A Toyota Alphard — Japan’s executive people-mover. Captain’s chairs, generous luggage space, and quiet enough to sleep on a long transfer. For groups of seven or more we run two vehicles, quoted together.

Either Kensuke Ueoka himself or a BUSHIDO guide he has trained, always English-speaking. Vehicles are operated through licensed chartered-hire operators, so your day is properly insured and properly legal.

Often yes — Kyoto and Nara, or Gifu and Ishikawa, sit comfortably together. Tokyo and Kyoto in one day does not, and we will tell you so rather than sell you a day in the car.

Your guide flies in and an identical Alphard is chartered locally. The day rate is the same ¥300,000; the flight is quoted separately at cost, with nothing added on top.

All routinely handled — halal in particular is something we have built real relationships around. Tell us on the form and we will book accordingly rather than improvise on the day.

Reservations, the travel contract and payment are handled by our licensed partner Rollei Co., Ltd. (Aichi Registered Travel Agency No. 3-1516). They send the confirmation and the cancellation terms in writing before anything is charged.

Child and booster seats at no charge, just tell us the ages. For wheelchair access let us know early — we can arrange a suitable vehicle, but it needs a little more notice than the Alphard.
