Faq

How will I be notified of the driver's details before the trip?

We will contact you via LINE, WhatsApp, or WeChat at least one day before your trip. If we are unable to reach you through any of these methods, we will contact you by email. Please make sure to check your messages.


Do I need to pay for the driver's meal or tip?

You do not need to pay for the driver's meal separately. Tips are not included in the package fee. Tipping is not customary in Japan, but you may offer a tip at your discretion.


How many passengers can each car accommodate?

  • 4-seater vehicle: Up to 5 people (including the driver).

  • 6-seater vehicle: Up to 7 people (including the driver).

  • 9-seater vehicle: Up to 10 people (including the driver).

* According to Japanese traffic regulations, 3 children under the age of 12 count as 2 passengers.
Example: For a group of 7 adults and 3 children (ages 4, 6, and 12), the 3 children will count as 2 passengers, so this group can use a 9-seater vehicle.


Can we eat or drink in the car?

As a general rule, only water is allowed in the vehicle. If you need to eat or drink, please ask the driver for permission first.


Do I need to pay for fuel?

Fuel costs are included in the tour fee — no need to worry.


How is the empty car fee charged for remote areas?

  • If your departure or drop-off location is Onna Village, there is an empty car fee of 1,000 yen (one-way).

  • If your departure or drop-off location is north of Nago, the empty car fee is 2,000 yen (one-way), which also helps cover expressway tolls for the driver.


How can I communicate with a Japanese-speaking driver?

Most drivers are equipped with a translation device, so simple communication will not be an issue. If you encounter any difficulties, please contact our charter service representative directly.

 

Do children need to use car seats?

According to Japanese traffic laws, children are not required to use car seats when riding in buses, taxis, or chartered vehicles.


Are there photos of the vehicles?

We provide sample images of the vehicles. Please note that the actual vehicle on the day may vary depending on the dispatch by the car company.

Notice

Please keep the vehicle clean. If there are any issues such as spilled drinks or vomiting, a cleaning fee of 2,000 to 10,000 JPY may be charged.

The vehicle will be driven by a licensed Japanese driver. If you encounter any communication difficulties, please contact our office during business hours — our Chinese-speaking staff will assist with translation.

Charter time starts from the reserved pick-up time. If the customer does not show up on time, the time will still be counted.

If the customer chooses to end the trip early on the day of service, the fee will still be charged based on the original booking duration, and no refund will be provided.

► Cancellation Policy

If the customer delays departure or ends the trip early for any reason, the fee will still be calculated based on the original booking duration, and no refund will be given.

Same-day cancellations or cancellations made within 72 hours before the activity date will incur cancellation charges as per the following schedule:

No-show without prior notice will incur a 100% cancellation fee. Any bank or transaction fees for refunds will be borne by the customer.
