Vehicle type will be arranged according to the number of people. Small vehicles will operate on a driver-guide model, without a separate tour guide, but may provide brief introductions to the attractions.
Please confirm whether the tour will proceed two days prior to departure. If the minimum number of participants is not reached, the trip will be cancelled.
Due to the large number of travelers during the summer holidays (July 1st - August 31st) and the Obon festival in Japan (August 13th - August 16th), the itinerary may be changed on the day of travel. The number of attractions visited may be reduced or shortened, and the meeting and dismissal times may be earlier or later. To avoid any losses, please do not book other activities on the day of travel, including restaurant reservations, attraction reservations, or flight/train bookings. Thank you for your understanding.
