Good to know

  • In the event of ground icing in winter preventing the bus from entering Kurokawa Onsen, Kurokawa Onsen will be replaced with Shirakawa Suigen. Please do not book dinner, as it may not be possible to catch your flight or Shinkansen on the day. Notification before departure • Please ensure that the communication app you have reserved can contact you during your trip to Japan. We will contact you one day in advance. We will send vehicle information and tour guide information for the next day’s trip to your email before 8:00 p.m. one day before departure. Please check it carefully (it may be in the junk mail). To ensure a smooth trip, please be sure to contact your tour guide or driver in a timely manner. Thank you. • If the number of participants does not reach the minimum group size, you will be notified of cancellation by email one day before departure. In the event of extreme weather such as typhoons or heavy snow, we will confirm whether to cancel before 6:00 p.m. local time one day before departure and notify you by email. Seats and Vehicles • The itinerary is a group tour, and seat allocation follows the principle of first come, first served. If you have special needs, please make a note of it. We will do our best to arrange it, but the final arrangement will be subject to the actual situation on site. • The type of vehicle used depends on the number of people, and the type of vehicle cannot be specified. When there are few people, the driver may also serve as the attendant, and the explanation content will be relatively simple. • If you need to bring luggage, you must inform us in advance. If you bring luggage without authorization, the tour guide has the right to refuse boarding and the fee will not be refunded. Eating and drinking are prohibited in the car, and if damage is caused, compensation will be paid according to local standards. Itinerary Adjustment and Safety • Japanese law stipulates that commercial vehicles must not drive for more than 10 hours per day. If the time is exceeded, additional fees will be incurred (5,000–10,000 yen/hour). • The itinerary is for reference only, and the actual traffic, stay, and tour time may be adjusted due to weather, traffic jams, facility maintenance, etc. The tour guide may reasonably replace or reduce attractions depending on the actual situation. • In the event of weather or force majeure leading to the suspension of cable cars, cruise ships and other facilities, we will change to other attractions or adjust the length of stay. • No refunds will be given for lateness, temporary changes to the meeting place, or leaving the group midway due to personal reasons. Any accidents and additional costs incurred after leaving the group shall be borne by yourself. Seasons and Landscapes • Seasonal limited events such as flower viewing, autumn foliage viewing, snow scenes, and fireworks displays are greatly affected by the climate, and the flowering period and peak of autumn foliage may be earlier or later. Even if the expected landscape is not reached, the itinerary will still depart normally and no refunds will be given.

Other Information • Please arrive at the meeting point on time. No latecomers will be waited for, and it is not possible to join midway. • It is recommended to wear light clothing and shoes. Please bring warm clothing for winter or mountain trips.

* The itinerary does not include personal travel and accident insurance, and it is recommended to purchase your own insurance. Outdoor activities and high-risk sports have certain risks. Please register carefully according to your health condition.

* After the itinerary departs, if it is forced to be中止 due to natural disasters or force majeure, the fee will not be refunded, and passengers will have to bear the cost of return or additional accommodation themselves.

* During peak travel periods on Japanese red days and weekends, there are often serious traffic jams or early closing of attractions. It is recommended not to book flights, Shinkansen, or dinner that night, and to bring your own light food and portable power bank.
