Pre-Departure Information

We will contact you between 17:00 and 21:00 the day before departure using the contact information you provided. If you do not receive the information, please check your email. Emails may sometimes mistakenly go to the spam folder. During peak tourist seasons, there may be slight delays in sending emails. If you receive multiple emails, please refer to the latest one. If you have not received travel information on the day of departure, please arrive at the meeting point 10 minutes before the scheduled meeting time and look for the JRT tour guide flag for assistance. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

• If the minimum number of participants is not reached, you will be notified of the cancellation by email the day before departure. In the event of extreme weather conditions such as typhoons or heavy snow, we will confirm whether to cancel by 18:00 local time the day before departure and notify you by email. Seats and Vehicles • The itinerary is a group tour, and seats are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. If you have any special requests, please make a note, and 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, a driver may also serve as an escort, and the explanation may be brief. • If you need to bring luggage, you must inform us in advance. If you bring luggage without prior notice, the tour guide has the right to refuse boarding and no refund will be given. Eating and drinking are prohibited in the vehicle. If any damage is caused, compensation will be required according to local standards. Itinerary Adjustment and Safety • Japanese law stipulates that operating vehicles must not be driven for more than 10 hours per day. If the time is exceeded, additional fees will be charged (¥5,000–10,000/hour or more). • The itinerary is for reference only. Actual transportation, stopover, and tour times 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. • If cable cars, cruises, and other facilities are suspended due to weather or force majeure, you will visit other attractions or adjust the length of stay. • No refunds will be given for late arrivals, temporary changes to meeting points, or leaving the group midway due to personal reasons. You will be responsible for any accidents and additional expenses incurred after leaving the group. Season and Scenery • Seasonal limited events such as flower viewing, autumn foliage viewing, snow scenery, and fireworks displays are greatly affected by the climate. The peak flowering and autumn foliage periods may be earlier or later than expected. Even if the expected scenery is not reached, the itinerary will still depart as normal and no refunds will be given.

Other Notes • 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 itineraries.

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

* After the itinerary departs, if it is forced to be terminated due to natural disasters or force majeure, no refunds will be given, and passengers will be responsible for their own return or additional accommodation costs.

* During peak travel periods on Japanese red days and weekends, 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.
