For travel consultation services that do not involve booking or arrangement, consultation fees are charged based on the time spent and are non-refundable once the service has been provided.

Force Majeure (Natural Disasters, etc.)

In the event that a tour is canceled or modified due to force majeure, including but not limited to natural disasters, severe weather conditions, transportation disruptions, government or local authority requests, or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control, the Company will respond in accordance with the Japanese Standard Travel Agency Terms and Conditions.

In such cases, cancellation fees may be waived. However, actual expenses already incurred (such as accommodation, transportation, and activity costs) may not be refundable.

Specific handling and refund eligibility will be determined on a case-by-case basis after confirming the circumstances.

Seasonal and Weather-Dependent Tours

For seasonal tours and activities that are highly dependent on natural or weather conditions, such as cherry blossom viewing, autumn foliage, or snow-related activities, the Company may decide to cancel or modify the tour if local conditions (e.g. blooming status or snowfall conditions) are deemed unsuitable.

In such cases, the Company will respond in accordance with the Japanese Standard Travel Agency Terms and Conditions and will, in principle, offer a refund for the unperformed portion of the tour or propose alternative options.

Specific handling will be determined on a case-by-case basis after confirming the local conditions.
