Renting a Car and Hiring a driver (Yamanashi Tour)

My family and I (4 of us) will be visiting Tokyo in June. Yamanashi is in our itinerary.

I can get an IDP but I don’t want to risk driving (1) on the left side of the road for the first time and (2) in a foreign country with signs I possibly would not understand. All the while having my family as my passengers.

Booking through Klook is an option but we want to get to Yamanashi early so we can avoid the swarm of crowds (e.g. Chureito Pagoda at 7 AM). And Klook packages depart from Tokyo at 8 AM. And we don’t want to be hustled and waited, my Mom is still strong but she’s already a senior citizen. We want to take it slow and leisurely.

When we were in Bali, we rented a car and a driver that drove us around at our convenience. It was ideal and my Mom enjoyed it very much. Is that a possible service in Tokyo? Looking forward to any recommendation or better alternatives. Thank you!
