Tokushima 10-Hour Private Chartered Tour | Custom Itinerary

This product is a 10-hour private charter within Tokushima Prefecture. There is no fixed route—you freely choose sights and arrange the day around nature, culture, family travel, photography, or food.

The vehicle serves only you and your companions, with no ride-sharing. You can depart from central Tokushima, Tokushima Awaodori Airport, the cruise terminal, or another confirmed location, and finish at your hotel, station, airport, port, or specified address.

Service notes

The charter lasts 10 hours, counted continuously from the agreed pickup time.

After booking, please provide us with:

• Travel date and preferred departure time
• Pickup and drop-off locations
• Sights you wish to visit
• Number of travelers
• Number and size of bags
• Children, seniors, or other special travel needs
• A reachable mobile number or messaging contact

Staff will help plan a sensible route based on distances between sights, opening hours, road conditions, and your sightseeing preferences.

On the day, the itinerary can flexibly adjust within reason. The driver also helps keep track of time, leaving ample time for sightseeing and for returning to your designated location.

Suggested areas

Tokushima's sights are widely spread: Naruto sits in the northeast, while Iya and Oboke lie in the west, with long driving distances between them.

For the best experience, we recommend picking one main direction for your 10-hour day:

• Naruto, central Tokushima, and surroundings
• Iya, Oboke, and the western mountains
• The southern Tokushima coast and nearby areas

If you want both the Naruto whirlpools and the Iya vine bridges on the same day, please share your full plan before booking. Staff will judge feasibility based on your pickup/drop-off points, traffic, and opening hours.

Service area

This product mainly covers private chartered sightseeing within Tokushima Prefecture, including:

• Central Tokushima
• Tokushima Awaodori Airport
• Tokushima cruise terminal and major ports
• Naruto and the Ohnaruto Bridge area
• Oboke, Iya, and the Miyoshi area
• Anan, Minami, and other main southern areas

If your itinerary extends into Kagawa, Kochi, Ehime, or another prefecture, please contact support before booking to confirm any additional charge.

Some mountain roads are narrow and may be affected by weather, maintenance, falling rocks, snow, or temporary controls. Staff may adjust the route or skip unsuitable sights based on conditions that day.

Naruto whirlpools tips

How visible the Naruto whirlpools are depends on tides, season, weather, and sea conditions—prominent whirlpools are not guaranteed at all times.

If you plan to take a sightseeing boat or walk the Uzunomichi walkway, check the day's best tide times in advance. Boat schedules, opening hours, and tours may change with weather and sea conditions.

Sightseeing-boat tickets, Uzunomichi admission, and other attraction tickets are not included in the charter fee.
