Along the way
Good to know
What if my flight is delayed?
We track your inbound flight and adjust the start time automatically. If a long delay eats the whole window, we cancel with a full refund.
Which airport do you cover?
Both Narita and Haneda. Tell us your terminal and we'll be there.
Where do you pick us up?
From the lobby of your hotel anywhere in central Tokyo, at a time we agree in advance. Staying further out? Tell us and we'll confirm the pick-up.
Can we change the itinerary?
Yes — the tour is private. Tell your guide-driver what matters most to you and they'll shape the day around it, adding or dropping stops as you go.
What happens if the weather is bad?
The tour runs in almost all weather. Only conditions that make a mountain road genuinely unsafe would change the route, and your guide will always find a good alternative.
How and when do we pay?
You pay a 20% deposit when you book — by card or bank transfer — and that secures your date. The remaining 80% is settled with your guide on the tour day, cash or card. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
