If a tour is canceled due to force majeure (including natural disasters, war, strikes, government bans, mechanical failures, traffic accidents, and other circumstances beyond our control), we will refund the tour fare in full before departure. If the tour is canceled on the day of departure or mid-trip due to any of these reasons, the remaining tour fare will be refunded after deducting any incurred expenses.

Please understand.
Please understand that due to force majeure factors such as traffic control and weather changes, the itinerary may be delayed, the content may be adjusted, or attractions may be cancelled.
The return trip may be delayed due to road conditions, weather, and other factors on the day of your trip, especially during holidays, when traffic is often congested. Drivers and guides will flexibly adjust the itinerary based on actual circumstances, so a later return trip may occur. If you have an overnight flight or connecting trip on the same day, please allow ample time to avoid disruption to your travel plans. Please note that no refunds or compensation will be provided for delays. Passengers with flights to catch are advised to exercise caution when booking or to make appropriate arrangements for subsequent travel.
To ensure travel safety and the smooth running of the entire itinerary, our company reserves the right to adjust the itinerary, modify the activities, or cancel the tour if necessary.

The bus operates a one-person-per-seat system to ensure the comfort and safety of every passenger. Pre-assigned seats are not currently accepted. Depending on the number of passengers registered on the day, passengers of the opposite sex may be assigned to sit next to each other. We appreciate your understanding and tolerance.
Minors and children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult with full legal capacity. Travelers aged 70 and over are advised to be accompanied by family or friends and to sign a waiver on the day of travel.

According to local Japanese regulations, infants also occupy seats, so infants under three years old will be charged the same fare as adults. If you plan to travel with an infant, please inform customer service clearly when placing your order. If you do not notify us in advance and do not pay for the fee, the tour guide reserves the right to refuse boarding to the infant and accompanying parent if the vehicle is overloaded due to the infant on the day of the tour. In such cases, our company assumes no liability, and any fees paid will not be refunded. Any additional costs will be borne by the parent. Please adhere to this policy to avoid any disruption to your trip.
Some small shops, vending machines, and temporary stalls near scenic spots still require cash payment. It's recommended that you carry a sufficient amount of Japanese Yen in cash to ensure a smoother journey.
To maintain the cleanliness of our trains and the comfort of all passengers, please refrain from eating or drinking on board. Any damage to seats or the train will result in a cleaning fee based on local standards. Thank you for your cooperation in creating a clean and comfortable riding environment.
Passengers with large luggage, please note the luggage situation when placing an order. We will arrange a suitable pick-up vehicle in advance according to actual needs to ensure that your luggage is loaded smoothly.
The recommended visit time for Kinkaku-ji is usually between 45 minutes to 1 hour. This is enough time to stroll through the gardens, admire the resplendent Golden Pavilion and its reflection in the Mirror Pond, and learn about its historical background. If you have extra time, you can also linger in the surrounding area to soak in the ancient capital's atmosphere.
For Kyoto day trips that include both Kinkaku-ji and Kiyomizu-dera, dedicated buses typically handle transportation between the two locations. This saves you the trouble of planning transfer routes and researching public transport schedules, ensuring a smooth and comfortable journey so you can focus more on experiencing the charm of the attractions.
Kinkaku-ji offers different scenery in each season. In spring, cherry blossoms adorn the grounds; in summer, it's lush green. In autumn, the surrounding trees turn red and yellow, creating a striking contrast with the magnificent golden temple. If it snows in winter, the Golden Pavilion covered in white snow is exceptionally beautiful, making it one of Kyoto's classic winter scenes.
Kinkaku-ji, officially known as Rokuon-ji, its iconic gold leaf exterior symbolizes the Western Pure Land and Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's fondness for gold. Originally the shogun's villa, it was later converted into a Zen temple. The gold leaf not only showcased the luxury and power of the era but also embodies the architectural aesthetics and cultural essence of Japan's Muromachi period, holding immense historical value.
The most famous feature of Kiyomizu-dera is its 'Kiyomizu Stage,' supported by 139 wooden pillars and constructed using joinery techniques without a single nail. From here, you can overlook the cityscape of Kyoto and the autumn foliage or cherry blossoms. Other must-see spots include the Otowa Waterfall, whose waters are said to bring good fortune, and Jishu Shrine, famous for matchmaking.
Byodo-in Temple in Uji, built in 1053 AD, is a representative structure of Japan's Heian period and was originally the villa of the noble Fujiwara no Yorimichi. The Phoenix Hall is a national treasure of Japan. Its architectural structure, the seated Amida Buddha statue enshrined within, and the canopy murals fully represent the essence of Buddhist art during the Heian period, having a profound influence on later Japanese culture.
Yakasakakoushin-do is famous for its colorful 'wish monkeys.' These cloth monkey dolls symbolize the 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil' philosophy of the three wise monkeys. Visitors can write down their wishes and hang a wish monkey in the temple to pray for their desires to be fulfilled. It's also a popular spot for photos, exuding a unique Kyoto cultural atmosphere.
On a Kyoto & Uji day tour, experienced guides will provide detailed explanations in Chinese or English for various attractions such as Kinkaku-ji and Kiyomizu-dera. The content includes the founding history of the temples, architectural features, cultural anecdotes, and related legends, allowing you to gain a deeper understanding of the profound significance and unique charm of these World Heritage sites while you visit.
