FAQ

1. What are the tour fees and payment methods?

The guide fee is calculated at 4,000 yen per hour. This amount includes the guide’s meal expenses, transportation costs, and entrance fees during the tour. Therefore, these expenses will be covered by the guide.

Please make the payment in cash (Japanese yen) on the day of the tour.

The guide fee does not cover your meal expenses, transportation, or entrance fees. Please pay for these expenses as incurred.

2. What if I need to cancel the tour?

If you notify me of the cancellation two days before the tour, there will be no cancellation fee.

In case of cancellation the day before, 50% of the planned amount will be charged, and for same-day cancellations, 100% of the agreed-upon fee will be charged.

Please provide the cancellation fee in the form of an Amazon Gift Card (E-mail).

3. Is the group size limited to 6 people?

I limit the group size to 6 people due to the use of public transportation and a significant amount of walking. Please kindly understand.

4. Where will we meet?

For the “Customized Tour in Tokyo”, I provide hotel pick-up services. However, for the “Package Tour”, the meeting point is predetermined. If you require hotel pick-up for the Package Tour, it can be arranged for an additional fee of ¥4,000, inclusive of transportation costs. Please also understand that the meeting time might vary slightly.

5. Is it possible to modify the contents of the package tour?

If you could please write your desired preferences or requests in the message section of the application form, I will do my best to accommodate them.

6. Can you guide us to tourist spots outside Tokyo and Saitama that involve overnight stays?

My tours are limited to one day and are restricted to Tokyo and Saitama. Please understand.

7. What languages does the guide speak?

I am a native Japanese speaker and hold an English Proficiency Test Level 1 and an Interpreter Guide License (English). I might not be fluent, but I’ll communicate exclusively in English.

8. Can you accommodate special dietary requests or restrictions?

If you could please write your desired preferences or requests in the message section of the application form, I will do my best to accommodate them.

9. Please provide information regarding additional charges.

Admission fees, meal expenses, and transportation costs are separate. I suggest a restaurant where meals can be within ¥2,000. I also plan to choose the most economical transportation route. If you have any special requests, I’ll be happy to accommodate them.

10. While it’s specified as a “one-day tour,” would it be possible to request for consecutive days, if available?

Yes, it is possible if the schedule has availability.
