Know in advance:

Due to a decrease in the number of maiko caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it may be difficult to arrange them on short notice. As a result, the local operator may have to cancel the tour. Please understand this in advance. If cancellation is necessary, you will be notified by the day before the tour (24 hours in advance)

Please note that the local operator is unable to guarantee allergy-free or cater to dietary restrictions as the food is prepared in third-party kitchens. Additionally, there may be instances where substitutions are not possible at certain stops; however, the provider will make every effort to compensate at different stops throughout the tour

Remember to bring:

Water and a hat to prevent heat stroke as summer in Japan is very hot and humid
