    Can I check into accommodation at the end of the day (after 6pm?) Thank you.

      Tanya

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      If I was to book Mount Fuji (which would finish at around 6pm of Day 1) I would only miss the briefing and introduction. Is the briefing an introduction important? So, it is better to get prepaid cards for the rail system in Japan?

    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten March 2025

      The standard accommodation we use is Hotel Sunlite Shinjuku where you can check in between 15:00 to 00:00.

    • T

      Tanya

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      Do you have the information for the other hostels (if there is any)? I am currently organising activities for any free time I get, including free days. Some of my activites have drop off facilities.

    • T

      Tanya

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      May be slightly off-topic, but do you have any knowledge on booking the more popular activities: - Hana Biyori Flower Park - DisneySea - TeamLab Digital Art Museum - Ghibi Park. The reason I ask is because I cannot purchase tickets for any of the above attractions and do not want to miss out. I'm assuming they have a limited time for advanced bookings (up to 2 months in advance). Any help is much appreciated.

    • T

      Tanya

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      Is it still possible to do an introduction later in the trip? I'd like to use this day to see Mt. Fuji if possible. There may be more, but I have another question regarding the rail system of Japan and what passes you need. From what I know, there is two different passes - 1 for JR Rail and 1 for the Shinkansen. I am unsure how they work and what I need for certain areas, especially Tokyo.

    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten March 2025

      You can join the trip on Day 2 at a later time. However, as this is a group departure, we cannot postpone any activities and you would miss out on any parts of the trip before your arrival. Would you consider adding an extra day on either side of the trip to include a day trip to Mt Fuji? If you are going to be staying in Tokyo for most of your time, it does not make sense to get the JR pass and it's easier to get individual tickets for your time there. For Tokyo - you will have prepaid travel cards for the activities on the tour. You can also buy prepaid Pasmo cards for your time there.

      As this is slightly over our usual age bracket, we'd ask if you could complete our Tour Suitability Form first. This helps us understand if your preferences align with the tour dynamic and group.

      Tanya

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      If my mind change and cancel this tour, can I get this 10% deposit back?

    • The Dragon TripOperatorWritten October 2024

      The deposit is not refundable. However, you can change your tour up to 70 days before the departure. So you could apply it to a different Dragon Trip tour
