Private Chauffeur in Tokyo — By-the-Hour Day Hire
Yes — you can hire a Lexus LM500h with an English-speaking chauffeur for the day in Tokyo, or any vehicle in our fleet up to a forty-five-seat coach. Hotel pickup, a route shaped hour by hour, and the car waiting wherever you step out.
Tokyo is too large to see on foot and too dense to park in. A car held on your clock, rather than summoned and dismissed, is what turns a scattered day into a continuous one.
Private Transportation
The flagship
Lexus LM500h Executive
貸切
The car the most important arrivals step out of — a four-seat cabin built around two rear lounge seats, with a partition between you and the road. Requested by model name more than any other vehicle we run — often written simply Lexus LM 500 — and available for by-the-hour hire in Tokyo.
For a Tokyo day that runs from an early market to a late counter in Ginza, the rear cabin is somewhere to genuinely rest between stops — not merely a seat between destinations.
Best suited to one to four guests with modest luggage. For larger parties, or for a day that ends at the airport with full cases, the vans below carry more without giving up the cabin.

Executive lounge
A private first-class cabin on wheels. Behind the partition, two reclining lounge seats face a quiet world of their own — the car the most important arrivals step out of.
Reclining lounge seats
Ottoman footrests and a full recline turn the rear cabin into a place to truly rest.
Massage & private climate
Built-in massage and a dedicated rear climate zone, set to the degree.
Refrigerated compartment
Chilled water and refreshments kept ready for the road.
Rear-seat cinema
A high-definition screen and premium audio, for the longer drive.
Privacy glass & partition
Darkened glass and a raise-able partition for a discreet, sealed-off calm.
A 360° camera, adaptive cruise, and lane-keeping keep the ride glass-smooth — the kind of quiet you only notice when it ends.

However the day is shaped
Where a held car earns its cost in Tokyo
Tokyo's districts are far apart and its parking is scarce and expensive. The value of a by-the-hour hire is not the drive — it is that nobody is ever waiting, carrying, or looking for a taxi.
Early · before the city wakes
Toyosu at dawn, or a temple in Asakusa before the coaches arrive. The hours that reward an early start are the hours when getting there is hardest — and the car is already at the door.
Shopping · Ginza, Omotesandō, Nihonbashi
Purchases go to the car rather than with you, between one street and the next. Nothing is carried, and nothing limits how much the afternoon can hold.
Beyond the city · Hakone, Kamakura, Nikkō, Fuji
A day trip that returns to your Tokyo hotel by evening, without rail changes or a fixed return time. The same chauffeur carries the whole day.
Maihama · Tokyo Disney Resort
Door to gate and back, with the car held for a mid-afternoon return to the hotel if the party wants one. Pairs with our theme-park guiding.
Evening · dinner and after
A counter in Ginza, a bar in Nishi-Azabu, and a car waiting outside each — no arrangements made at the end of a long evening in a language you do not read.
In every hire

Good to know
Private chauffeur hire in Tokyo — questions, answered
Can I hire a Lexus LM 500 with a chauffeur for a day in Tokyo?+
Yes. The Lexus LM500h Executive — often written Lexus LM 500 — is available for by-the-hour and full-day private hire in Tokyo with an English-speaking chauffeur, seating one to four guests. The hire begins at your hotel and the car is held for the day rather than dispatched per journey. Availability is confirmed at the time of booking, as the LM is the most requested vehicle in the fleet.
How does a by-the-hour chauffeur day in Tokyo work?+
The car is hired by the hour, beginning at your hotel. You sketch the day — a district, a museum, a restaurant you have booked — and the route bends as it unfolds. At every stop the car waits, so nothing is timed to anyone's schedule but yours, and purchases and coats go to the car rather than with you.
How many hours should we book, and what does it cost?+
About eight hours suits a full day in the city; a half day covers one or two districts well. Pricing is a fixed quote by vehicle and hours, confirmed by a coordinator before the day. Send your party size, dates and the shape of the day by WhatsApp, LINE or email and the quote comes back with a suggested route.
Is the chauffeur also a tour guide?+
The chauffeur is a driver, not a walking guide — doors, luggage, timing and quiet advice on the road are theirs. For a guided day on foot, a private English-speaking guide can join through our Tailor-Made Journeys service, and the two work in tandem: the guide walks with you while the car meets you at the next stop.
Can the hire include an airport pickup or drop-off?+
Yes. A day hire can begin at Haneda or Narita and end at your hotel, or run the reverse on a departure day with the city hours used before the flight. Where the journey is only the transfer itself, our Tokyo airport transfer service is the simpler arrangement.
Can the car take us outside Tokyo — to Hakone, Kamakura or Mount Fuji?+
Yes. The same hire carries the day wherever it leads, returning to your Tokyo hotel by evening without rail changes or a fixed return time. Longer routes suit the Sprinter or the Hiace Grand Cabin, and on a multi-day itinerary the same chauffeur can continue with you across the country.
How far ahead should a chauffeur day be booked?+
A few weeks is comfortable for most vehicles and dates. The Lexus LM500h and peak periods — cherry blossom, autumn foliage, Golden Week and the New Year holidays — book earlier, so enquire as soon as your dates are firm if a specific vehicle matters to you.
