FAQs
Are airfare tickets included in your tours? Can I choose the airline and airplane seats?
The prices posted on our website are the land-only tour prices. If U.S. passengers would like an airfare quote, please contact All Japan Tours and request dates and prices. For passengers residing outside of the U.S., we can assist you with flight itineraries to help you plan flights.
What is a ryokan (Japanese-style inn)? What is a futon bed?
A ryokan is a traditional Japanese-style inn that has tatami floor mats. A futon bed is placed on the tatami floor. Passengers may also request Western-style beds, especially if they have bad backs. However, availability for Western-style beds is not guaranteed.
Are vegetarian or special meals an option?
Our clients can request vegetarian meals or special meals that avoid allergies.
Are the tours suitable for seniors?
Our tours travel by private coach, so our passengers do not have to walk too often to get from one site to another. Your luggage will also be taken with you in the coach's storage area so you will not have to carry luggage with you from hotel to hotel.
Where should I get my currency exchanged?
Some hotels, ATM's, and airports are all locations where you can get your currency exchanged, however, we recommend that passengers exchange their currency at the airport instead. If you plan on using your card for ATMs, it is recommended that passengers use participating post-offices, and 7-Eleven's ATMs. However, passengers are suggested to check with their card companies for more information regarding service fees that may apply.
If there is a natural disaster before my tour starts, what will happen?
If natural disasters where to occur and we determine that the tour is no longer safe for passengers, we will cancel the tour and refund the tour price back to the passengers.
What will happen to my payments if there is a natural disaster after my tour starts?
In cases where a natural disaster occurs after tours have already begun, All Japan Tours will refund the price of the unused tour portions back to the passengers of that tour.
Will there be a deposit required for the tour packages?
The majority of our tours require a US$200 deposit per person to hold the space at the time of booking. The tour deposit is non-refundable. Some tours will require a different deposit amount to hold the space. The amount required will be listed on the tour’s information page.
The final payment is due 2 months prior to departure. Payment can be made in US Dollars by Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover credit cards, PayPal, cashier's check, personal check or money order from a US Bank or by bank wire transfer. Contact us for our bank information if paying by wire transfer.
What kind of people will be on this tour?
We have English-speaking clients from many nations, prevalently from nations like the U.S., the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, and Canada who have traveled with us.
Do your tours have guaranteed departure? What happens if not enough people join the tour?
Please check the individual tour to determine whether it has a guaranteed departure. While some tours have guaranteed departure, others require a minimum of four passengers before departure is guaranteed. If the tour has guaranteed departure, then we will run the tour regardless of passenger count. If it is not guaranteed, the tour page will show how many bookings are still needed before guaranteed departure.
If we do not end up getting enough bookings to guarantee a tour's departure, we will cancel the tour and inform all booked passengers three months prior to the departure date. In this situation, we can either issue a refund (including deposit) or, if the guest wants to re-book for a later date, we can transfer the amount paid to that tour.
I have a group that wants to book a group tour itinerary for our own private travel dates. Will we get the same prices?
In this situation, this group tour itinerary will be considered as a custom private tour, and the cost will be calculated according to how many people are in your group. Although you might request the exact same itinerary, the price will depend on how many people there are in your group to split the cost of the tour.
I have a disability, can you accommodate the tour for my needs?
All Japan Tours will be able to provide a wheel chair upon request, however, All Japan Tours will not be able to assist those with special needs throughout the tour. If personal attention is required, we ask that individual passengers bring their own assistants for their tour plans. Passengers may also bring their own wheel chairs on this tour. Please contact our U.S. office for more information.
