Escape the Crowds & Enjoy Local Private Tours
Traveling is exciting — but are you tired of the crowds?
With overtourism on the rise, many of Japan’s famous destinations are busier than ever, often leaving travelers feeling rushed and exhausted.
Just beyond Nagoya, Kyoto, and Osaka, however, lie peaceful local regions that most visitors never reach. Because public transportation is still limited, these areas remain quiet, uncrowded, and wonderfully authentic.
With Yoshi, you’ll travel comfortably by private car on a fully customized itinerary designed around your interests, pace, and travel style. Leave the crowds behind and discover a calmer side of Japan — where you can truly relax, refresh, and enjoy meaningful local experiences far beyond typical sightseeing.
Below are sample itineraries designed to help you imagine your crowd-free journey with Yoshi.
