Actual transportation, stopovers, and sightseeing times may be adjusted due to weather, traffic jams, facility maintenance, and other circumstances. The guide may reasonably change or reduce attractions based on actual conditions. If facilities such as cable cars or boats are suspended due to weather or force majeure, the itinerary will be changed to other attractions or the stopover time will be adjusted. 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.

After the itinerary begins, if it is forced to be suspended due to natural disasters or force majeure, no refund will be given, and travelers will be responsible for their return journey or additional accommodation costs. During Japanese public holidays and weekend travel peaks, there are often severe traffic jams or early closures of attractions.
