HOW WE
MOVE YOU

Every transfer, every leg, every arrival — arranged so that getting there is part of the experience.

🚗
01
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 Driver positioned at the shinkansen gate or aircraft arrival level before you clear. No searching, no waiting. The handoff is seamless because it has been designed that way.

02
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.

03
PRIVATE HELICOPTER
Tokyo · Hakone · Fuji · Remote Resorts

Tokyo to Hakone in thirty minutes. The aerial view of Mount Fuji on a clear day is available from no other vantage point. The journey becomes the experience — arriving at a mountain resort from above changes the texture of a stay in ways that ground transport cannot replicate.

Common routes Tokyo–Hakone, Tokyo–Izu Peninsula, transfers to remote luxury properties including Amanemu (Mie) and coastal ryokan accessible only by air or sea.

04
LUXURY SLEEPER TRAINS
Shiki-shima · Mizukaze · Nanatsuboshi

Three of the world's most sought-after luxury trains operate in Japan. Each is a complete experience — dining, service, and scenery — rather than a means of transit. Demand exceeds supply by fifty to one hundred times. Standard reservations operate by lottery.

Specialist access Certain operators hold allocations through dedicated tour packages that bypass the public lottery. Availability depends on route and season — but this is the most viable path for foreign visitors outside of exceptional luck.
