• The itinerary is for reference only. Actual transportation, stopover, and tour times may be adjusted due to weather, traffic, facility maintenance, or other circumstances. The tour guide may reasonably change or reduce attractions depending on the actual situation.
• In the event of cable car, cruise ship, or other facility closures due to weather or force majeure, alternative attractions will be visited, or the duration of the stay will be adjusted.
• No refunds will be given for lateness, changes to the meeting location, or leaving the group midway through the tour due to personal reasons. You will be responsible for any accidents or additional costs incurred after leaving the group.

Seasons and Scenery

• During winter, if highways are closed or scenic areas restrict entry due to special circumstances, we will reduce or change the route, and no refunds will be provided.
