Visiting Japan in April, reliable place for driver hire for a day for a day trip venture?

I want to go to Hitachi seaside park in April (near the end but before goldenweek commences), and possibly the Naritasan Park immediately after.
I'd like to go in the morning (like leave at 8am from the hotel or even 730).
I'm staying near Chiba City in Tokyo.

Are there any reputable companies that can drive a person from a hotel to hitachi park for maybe 3 hours and to visit the Naritasan Park in the afternoon and drive back? No tour guide needed, just a driver to sit and wait for a bit.
I want to get to the flower site early in the morning when it opens.

I have gone to other cities in the world and can do something like this for under $200-250 ($30,000 JPY). Round trip or even like dumping me in the Park at the very end (so they'd only be around for about 6 hours). Is Japan similar? If so does anyone know which company can I contact?

May be check out MK Taxi? I have never used them, but my friend has recommended them for our upcoming trip. They might be expensive. Good luck.

My guess is that your price range is low for 6 hours of a driver in Tokyo.

Perhaps post on Tripadvisor - some locals and frequent travelers with generally very fine, current advice.
