HOW WE
MOVE YOU

Airport to hotel, city to city, and the last twenty minutes up a mountain road. Booked before you arrive.

DEDICATED HIRE CAR
Alphard · Lexus LM · V-Class

Japan's premium large-format vehicles, the Toyota Alphard, Lexus LM, and Mercedes V-Class, with a dedicated driver throughout your stay. Wi-Fi, captain seating, full privacy. The car becomes your private space between every destination.

How we coordinate The driver is at the shinkansen gate or the arrivals level before you clear it. You walk out and the car is there. Nothing to find, nobody to call.
SHINKANSEN
Gran Class · Green Car · Private Carriage

City centre to city centre, no security queues, no airport transfers. For Tohoku and Hokuriku routes, Gran Class offers fewer than twenty passengers, meal service, and full cabin crew attendance. For Tokaido (Tokyo–Kyoto–Osaka), Green Car.

Private carriage charter For groups of ten or more, an entire shinkansen car can be reserved, eliminating all contact with other passengers. Available through JR operators on select routes.
PRIVATE HELICOPTER
Tokyo · Hakone · Fuji · Remote Resorts

Tokyo to Hakone in thirty minutes. Thirty minutes instead of three hours, and Fuji from an angle no road reaches. Arriving at a mountain ryokan from the air also means you arrive rested.

Common routes Tokyo–Hakone, Tokyo–Izu Peninsula, transfers to remote luxury properties including Amanemu (Mie) and coastal ryokan accessible only by air or sea.
LUXURY SLEEPER TRAINS
Shiki-shima · Mizukaze · Nanatsuboshi

Three of the world most sought-after luxury trains run in Japan. Each is closer to a small hotel that moves: its own kitchen, its own crew, its own route. Demand runs fifty to a hundred times over capacity, and ordinary reservations are decided by lottery.

Specialist access Some operators hold allocations inside dedicated tour packages that sit outside the public lottery. Availability depends on route and season, and short of unusual luck, this is the realistic route for visitors from overseas.
