Confirm pick-up location and timing
Traffic varies—agree on a precise meet point and a buffer for heavy periods like rush hour to maximize sightseeing time.
Carry small cash
Many street stalls and smaller temples prefer cash; keep ¥1,000 notes and coins handy for quick purchases and small entrance fees.
Plan must-see sites in advance
Prioritize 2–3 main stops (e.g., Asakusa, Meiji Shrine, Shibuya) so the day isn't spent transit-heavy—your driver can adjust the rest.
Pack for short walks
Even with a car, expect 10–30 minutes of walking at each stop—bring comfortable shoes and a light daypack.
