• Between 17:00 and 21:00 the day before departure, we will contact you using the contact information you provided. If you do not receive a message, please check your email. Emails may sometimes go into the spam folder. During peak travel season, email delivery may be slightly delayed. If you receive multiple emails, please refer to the latest one.

Seating and Vehicles This is a shared group tour, and seat allocation follows the first-come, first-served principle. If you have special requests, please note them, and we will do our best to arrange them, but the final arrangement will be based on the actual situation on site. The vehicle model used will be arranged according to the number of participants and cannot be specified. For smaller groups, a driver who also serves as an attendant may be arranged, and the commentary will be more concise. If you need to bring luggage, please inform us in advance. If you bring luggage without prior notice, the tour guide has the right to refuse you boarding, and no refund will be given. Eating and drinking are prohibited inside the vehicle. If any damage is caused, compensation will be required according to local standards.

Itinerary Adjustments and Safety Japanese law stipulates that commercial vehicles may not be driven for more than 10 hours per day. Overtime will incur additional charges (ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 JPY per hour).

The itinerary is for reference only. Actual traffic, stopovers, and sightseeing times may be adjusted due to weather, traffic jams, facility maintenance, and other circumstances. The tour guide may reasonably change or reduce attractions based on the actual situation.

If cable cars, boats, or other facilities are suspended due to weather or force majeure, the itinerary will be changed to visit other attractions or adjust the stopover time.

No refunds will be given for late arrivals, temporary changes to meeting points, or leaving the group midway due to personal reasons. Any accidents or additional expenses incurred after leaving the group must be borne by the individual.

Season and Scenery In winter, if highways are closed or scenic spots have restricted access due to special circumstances, we will reduce or change the route, and no refunds will be given.

Other Notes Please arrive at the meeting point on time. No waiting for latecomers, and no joining midway. It is recommended to wear light clothing and shoes. For winter or mountain trips, please bring your own warm clothing.

• The itinerary does not include personal travel or accident insurance. It is recommended to purchase your own. Outdoor activities and high-risk sports carry certain risks. Passengers are advised to register cautiously based on their health conditions.
• After the trip departs, if it is forced to be suspended due to natural disasters or force majeure, no refund will be given, and passengers will also need to bear the cost of return travel or additional accommodation.
• During Japanese public holidays and weekend travel peaks, there are often severe traffic jams or attractions closing early. It is recommended not to book flights, Shinkansen, or dinner for that evening, and to bring light snacks and a power bank.
