Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The best time to explore Tokyo by private car is during the spring months of March to May or the autumn months of September to November when the weather is mild and skies are clear. Starting your tour early in the morning around 8:00 AM is highly recommended to beat the heavy city traffic and arrive at popular spots like Senso-ji Temple before the massive crowds gather.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

• Ask your driver to stop at the Shibuya Sky observation deck or the rooftop of Shibuya Magnet for breathtaking, unobstructed aerial shots of the famous scramble crossing.

• Capture the striking contrast of the traditional Senso-ji Temple against the modern Tokyo skyline by shooting during the golden hour just before sunset.

• Use the onboard Wi-Fi to instantly back up your high-resolution photos and videos to the cloud while you travel between locations.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

When visiting sacred sites like Senso-ji Temple, remember to bow slightly before passing through the main gates and avoid walking directly through the center of the pathways, which are traditionally reserved for deities. Tipping is not customary in Japan and can even be considered rude, so a simple, polite thank you to your driver is the best way to show appreciation for their excellent service.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

• Time your visit for late March to early April to witness the breathtaking cherry blossom season, where your driver can take you to top viewing spots like Ueno Park or Chidorigafuchi.

• Experience the vibrant summer festivals in July and August, such as the Sumidagawa Fireworks Festival, with your driver handling the complex logistics of navigating the crowded event perimeters.

• Enjoy the spectacular autumn foliage from late November to early December by customizing your route to include beautifully illuminated gardens like Rikugien.

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

• Always wear your seatbelt while the vehicle is in motion, as it is a strict legal requirement for all passengers in Japan.

• Be mindful of bicycles and pedestrians when stepping out of the vehicle, especially in narrow, bustling neighborhoods like Asakusa or Harajuku.

• Stay hydrated and use the vehicle's air-conditioning to rest and cool down during the hot and humid summer months of July and August.
