What's Included

  • Guide Fee. A "Fully Escorted" native or fluent English speaking guide for the duration of the "Day Tour" to the destinations of the planned itinerary below.

What's NOT Included

Simply stated: ONLY the "Guide Fee" is included for our "Day Tours".

  • Does not include any transportation costs.
  • Does not include any entrance, activity, etc. fees.
  • Does not include any meals or drinks.

Entrance fees, Activity Fees and Transportation fees are NOT included in the "Day Tour" price. You will pay these fees separately as the tour progresses and we have listed an approximation of what these fees may cost. We chose this method for "Day Tours" in order to keep "all options open" and give "fluidity" to the day tours. Please bring sufficient funds to cover these costs.

Group Size

An absolute maximum of 8 people are allowed on this "Day Tour".

Transportation

  • Our guides use public transportation (train, subway, bus, etc.) for all our "Day Tours". If you prefer to use taxi or a private car, please contact us first and we can make this happen. Any extra costs associated with transportation other than public transportation will be an extra fee.

  • Walking: Because we use public transportation there IS a lot of walking. You will be walking to and from stations and then walking around destinations. Furthermore, at some times public transportation can be crowded and you may have to stand while riding public transportation.

  • As stated above in "What's NOT Included", transportation costs are NOT included in the tour price. If you want to utilize a different form of transportation other than public transportation (Rental Car, Taxi, etc.), you will pay for those costs.

Food & Drinks

What you buy to eat and drink is totally up to you but some places do have "Sit Down" and or "Drink Requirment" fees (this cost is stated in "Approximate Entrance/Activity Costs").

  • Drinks: At a typical restaurant/bar 1 drink in Japan will run from 500 yen (about $5 USD) to 1,200 yen (about $12 USD). At higher end establishments 1 drink can run from 1,000 yen (about $10 USD) to 2,500 yen (about $25 USD).

  • Food: A typical restaurant meal in Japan can run from 800 yen (about $8 USD) to 1,500 yen (about $15 USD). However, of course depending on the level of the restaurant prices can vary greatly. Al-la-cart establishments like Izakaya, street stalls and little drinking shops can "seem" inexpensive but costs add up quickly if you order a lot (please watch your budget).

Meeting Point or Pick Up / Drop Off

This "Day Tour" specifies a "Meeting Point" in the description and our fee for this tour starts at this meeting point.

Pick Up / Drop Off - If you would like us to actually come to your hotel or place of lodging and pick you up / drop you off, we can do that. The fee is 2,000 yen per hour (billed in 15 min. increments of 500 yen) for the extra time spent getting to your place and then getting to the starting point + any extra transportation costs our guide will incur.

Please request this service on our contact form or by calling us and we can give an exact quote on how much extra it will cost.
