Questions and answers about Us

What kind of tours does Japan Ichiban Tours offer?

We offer cultural tours, city sightseeing, adventure trips, food experiences, and customized Japan travel packages designed for individuals, families, and groups.

Do you provide English-speaking tour guides in Japan?

Yes, our professional tour guides speak fluent English (and other languages upon request) to make your trip smooth and enjoyable.

Can I book a customized Japan tour package?

Absolutely! We specialize in tailor-made tours based on your travel dates, budget, and interests such as anime, history, food, or traditional culture.

What is the best time to visit Japan?

Japan is beautiful year-round. Spring (March–May) is famous for cherry blossoms, while autumn (September–November) offers stunning fall colors. Winter is ideal for skiing, and summer is great for festivals.

How do I book a tour with Japan Ichiban Tours?

You can easily book through our website by filling out the inquiry form, or contact our support team for assistance with reservations and trip planning.

Do you help with Japan visa and travel arrangements?

Yes, we can guide you through the Japan visa process and also assist with hotels, transportation, and travel insurance for a hassle-free trip.

Are Japan Ichiban Tours suitable for families with kids?

Definitely! We design family-friendly tours that include safe transport, kid-friendly activities, and cultural experiences everyone can enjoy.

What’s your cancellation and refund policy?

You can cancel your trip up to 48 hours before the scheduled start time and receive a full refund. Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the trip are non-refundable. The same policy applies to multi-day trips—for example, for a 10-day trip, you must notify us at least 48 hours before the trip starts to receive a full refund.

Do I need to pay a deposit, and when is the balance due?

We offer flexible booking options, including bookings with zero deposit. The remaining balance is due one day before your trip. We will send you a secure payment link to complete the payment.

What happens if it rains?

Our trips generally continue as scheduled in rainy weather, unless conditions make the activity unsafe. If the cancellation period has already passed, or your pickup has already taken place and the trip is underway, the trip will continue and no refund will be provided.

Is there a minimum or maximum group size?

Our private tours are available for groups of 1 person up to large groups of approximately 100–200 people. Since our tours are private rather than shared, we can accommodate groups of different sizes. For very large groups, please contact us in advance so we can arrange the appropriate vehicles and logistics.

What if my flight is delayed and I’m late for pickup?

For airport pickups and drop-offs, we track your flight and adjust the pickup time based on the actual flight arrival. We provide up to 90 minutes of complimentary waiting time after your flight lands. If you require additional waiting time beyond the 90-minute complimentary period, additional charges may apply.
