OPTIONAL TOURS & ACTIVITIES

Optional tours and activities are organized by our local partner agency with a minimum participation requirement of 20 people and are not mandatory. If sufficient numbers are not met, tours may not take place, or optional tour/activity prices, content, and vehicles used may vary based on the number of participants. Furthermore, the dates and times of optional tours/activities may be changed by the guide depending on whether museums, historical sites, or venues are open/closed and weather conditions.

ACCOMMODATION   

During periods such as fairs, congresses, concerts, events, sports tournaments, etc., hotels may be located further than the specified kilometers.

Triple rooms are assigned based on hotel availability. In triple rooms, the bed provided for the third person may be smaller than standard beds. Triple rooms consist of one large bed and one extra bed. Since extra beds are foldable or coach beds, participants who are the third person and/or children booking are deemed to have accepted potential crowding in the room and the type of bed.

Child discounts apply only to one child per two adults within the age group specified in the pricing section.

Breakfasts included in the tour package are served according to the local breakfast culture, typically as a continental breakfast consisting of butter, jam, bread, tea, or coffee, and may be served in a separate hall dedicated to the group.

CURRENCY    

The currency of Japan is Yen (JPY). The currency of South Korea is KRW. For this tour, we recommend bringing USD and ensuring you have small denominations.

TIME ZONE     

There is a +6 hour difference between Turkey and both countries. When it is 12:00 in Turkey, the time in the countries we are visiting is 18:00.

PHONE USAGE    

All mobile phone operators can be used if your phone is enabled for international roaming. However, network coverage may be unavailable in some areas of the country.

CLOTHING AND ESSENTIAL ITEMS  

We recommend bringing t-shirts that are easy to put on and take off, short-sleeved and long-sleeved shirts, cotton trousers, comfortable walking shoes, and a light jacket or cardigan. We advise choosing non-synthetic and cotton clothing. You may also bring a raincoat and umbrella in case of rain. Additionally, you can bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, earplugs for possible noise, a camera, video camera, and their chargers and spare memory cards.

FOOD CULTURE           

The region is dominated by East Asian cuisine. We recommend against buying anything from street vendors. You will find that the meals served at the restaurants and hotels we visit suit your taste.

SHOPPING          

Both countries are particularly a paradise for shopping, especially regarding electronics. Besides this, traditional clothing and souvenirs can be purchased.

IMPORTANT NOTES            

Having a valid passport and/or having obtained a visa (for destinations/passports where a visa is required) does not guarantee entry into the country. Immigration officers have the authority to deny entry. The agency is not responsible for this situation; responsibility lies with the traveler.

The agency acts as an intermediary between the passenger and the airline and is subject to the Hague Protocol of September 28, 1955. There may be delays in scheduled and special flights, or flight times may change prior to the current tour and flight. The agency is obligated to notify passengers of these changes as soon as possible. Passengers purchase the tour knowing and accepting that flight details may change.

Panoramic city tours included in the tour package are tours lasting a maximum of 2-3 hours, organized for general introduction to cities, conducted from the vehicle with guide commentary, and do not include entrance to museums or historical sites. If panoramic tours, including other tours specified in the program, cannot be visited or entered due to restrictions imposed by local authorities on the day and time of the tour, or due to closed roads caused by any event, or if weather conditions make it impossible to conduct the tour, the agency is not responsible for the inability to perform said tours. Some tours may be conducted via public transport or on foot, depending on circumstances, at points where road access or vehicle entry is restricted.
