4. Customer Support and Travel Guidelines
4.1 Flight Information, Ticketing, and Luggage Regulations
Our comprehensive packages include return flights departing from most major airports across
the United States. We arrange the best available options using full-service carriers or low-cost
airlines. Once flight tickets are issued, they become completely non-refundable. Any
subsequent changes are subject to airline restrictions, applicable carrier fees, and a Nicetrip
Travels administrative change fee of $250 per person.
Passenger names provided at booking must match their passports exactly, including all middle
names. Errors resulting in name corrections will incur a minimum $150 name-change fee plus
any additional charges imposed by the airline, or may require purchasing an entirely new ticket.
If a traveler misses or skips a flight segment, they are responsible for all airline penalties and a
$250 ticketing re-issue fee.
Standard luggage allowances generally include up to 20kg of checked baggage and 7kg of

hand luggage, though exact limits depend on specific carrier policies.
4.2 Land Only Packages
Travelers who choose to purchase our “Land Only” packages are entirely responsible for
arranging their own international flights, airport transfers, and timely arrival at the designated
starting hotel of the tour itinerary.
4.3 Physical Fitness Requirements
Our itineraries are designed for travelers with a moderate level of physical fitness. Participants
must be comfortable walking at least 2 kilometers daily at a steady pace, managing uneven
surfaces, and climbing stairs independently without assistance.
4.4 Passports, Visas, and Administrative Compliance
Travelers bear full responsibility for maintaining valid personal documentation. Passports must
possess a minimum validity of 6 months remaining from the scheduled date of return. United
States passport holders entering Japan for tourism purposes are currently exempt from visa
requirements for stays lasting up to 90 days.
4.5 Traveling with Children
Children participating in our tours must be at least 2 years of age and must share room
accommodations with their parents or legal guardians. Child pricing matches adult tour rates.
Please note that specialized child safety seats for tour buses are not provided, and families
must supply their own safety equipment if required.
4.6 Cherry Blossom Season Variability
The blooming period of Japanese cherry blossoms is a natural phenomenon that fluctuates
annually based on climate conditions. Nicetrip Travels cannot guarantee exact blooming dates.
Our spring itineraries focus on the cultural spirit of Hanami, celebrating the transient beauty of
nature regardless of the specific stage of blossom development.
4.7 Cultural Etiquette and Local Conduct Rules
To ensure a respectful and harmonious journey within Japan, all travelers are expected to
adhere to local regulations and social customs:
● Maintain silence and refrain from speaking on mobile phones while traveling on public
transportation.
● Tipping is not customary or expected within Japanese restaurants, taxis, or hotels.

● Smoking is strictly prohibited in public outdoor spaces except within clearly marked,
designated smoking areas.
● Trash separation is legally mandated, and travelers must comply with local recycling and
disposal categories.
● Punctuality is a vital cultural value, and travelers must arrive on time for all scheduled
departures and guide briefings.
