Emails may sometimes be mistakenly delivered to the spam folder. During peak tourist seasons, email delivery may be slightly delayed. If you receive multiple emails, please refer to the latest one. If you do not receive travel information, please arrive at the meeting point 10 minutes in advance at the meeting time and look for the JRT guide flag to inquire. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

In the event of extreme weather such as typhoons or blizzards, you will be notified by email whether the tour will be canceled by 18:00 local time the day before departure. Seats and Vehicles • The tour is a shared tour, and seats are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. If you have any special needs, please make a note. We will do our best to arrange it, but the final arrangement is 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, a driver may be arranged as an attendant, and the explanation may be brief. • If you need to bring luggage, you must inform us in advance. If you bring luggage without authorization, the guide has the right to refuse boarding and the fee will not be refunded. Eating and drinking are prohibited in the car. If damage is caused, compensation will be required according to local standards. Itinerary Adjustment and Safety • Japanese law stipulates that commercial vehicles must not be driven for more than 10 hours per day. If the time is exceeded, additional fees will be incurred (5,000–10,000 yen/hour, etc.). • The itinerary is for reference only. Actual traffic, stopover, and tour times may be adjusted due to weather, traffic jams, facility maintenance, etc. The guide may reasonably replace or reduce attractions depending on the actual situation. • If cable cars, cruises, and other facilities are suspended due to weather or force majeure, the tour will be changed to other attractions or the duration of the stay will be adjusted. • If you are late due to personal reasons, change the meeting place temporarily, or leave the group midway, the fee will not be refunded. You will be responsible for any accidents and additional expenses incurred after leaving the group. Season and Landscape • Seasonal limited events such as flower viewing, autumn foliage viewing, snow scenery, and fireworks festivals are greatly affected by the climate. The flowering period and peak of autumn leaves may be earlier or later. Even if the expected scenery 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. We will not wait for latecomers, and you cannot join the tour midway. • It is recommended to wear light clothing and shoes. Please bring warm clothing for winter or mountain tours.

* The itinerary does not include personal travel and accident insurance. It is recommended to purchase insurance yourself. Outdoor activities and high-risk sports have certain risks. Travelers should carefully register according to their health conditions.

* After the itinerary departs, if it is forced to be suspended due to natural disasters or force majeure, the fee will not be refunded, and travelers will be responsible for their own return or additional accommodation costs.

* During Japanese red days and weekend peak travel times, there are often serious traffic jams or attractions close early. It is recommended not to book flights, Shinkansen, or dinners for that evening, and to bring your own snacks and power bank.
