Charter transport for groups in Tokyo
Whatever brings your group to Japan, we provide the vehicle, the driver and the planning.
Narita & Haneda transfers
Arriving as a group with luggage is where a private bus makes the biggest difference. Your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name board, helps with bags and takes everyone directly to the hotel, with no train changes or taxi queues.
- Flight monitoring: we adjust for early or late arrivals
- Meet-and-greet in the arrivals hall
- Departures timed with plenty of margin for check-in
- Transfers to Tokyo, Yokohama, Chiba and Tokyo Disney Resort hotels
City tours and day trips
Hire a bus and driver by the day and build your own itinerary: Asakusa and Senso-ji in the morning, Shibuya and Harajuku in the afternoon, or head out of town to Mt Fuji, Hakone, Nikko or Kamakura. We can also arrange an English-speaking guide on request.
- Flexible routes: stop where you want, for as long as you want
- Suggested itineraries for first-time visitors
- Optional licensed tour guide

How charter prices work in Japan
Chartered bus fares in Japan are based on the vehicle size, the hours of use and the distance driven. Every quote we send is itemised so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Included in the hire
Vehicle, professional driver, fuel and insurance for the agreed time and route.
Usually added to the quote
Expressway tolls, parking fees and, for overnight trips, the driver's accommodation. We estimate these in advance.
Long days
Japanese rules limit driving hours. Very long days or long-distance routes may need a second driver; we will tell you when that applies.
No surprises
Changes to the itinerary on the day are fine within the booked hours; anything extra is agreed with you first.
Common questions
How far in advance should we book?
As early as possible, especially for spring (cherry blossom season), Golden Week in early May, the summer holidays and autumn foliage season, when demand for buses in Tokyo is very high. Two to four weeks ahead is usually enough outside those periods.
Does the driver speak English?
Most drivers speak basic English. All planning is done with our office in English before the trip, so the driver already has the full itinerary. For tours with commentary we recommend adding an English-speaking guide.
Can we bring luggage on day trips?
Yes. Mid-size and large coaches have under-floor luggage bays. For airport transfers please tell us the number of suitcases so we can recommend the right vehicle.
Can we eat and drink on board?
Bottled drinks and light snacks are fine on most vehicles. Please take your rubbish with you when you leave the bus.
Do you provide child seats?
Please mention any children in your request and we will advise on the options for the vehicle you book.
