The clean staff in the cabin we were in we're very slapdash with how they cleaned. In the restaurant I ordered a Chenin blanc and got a Chardonnay . We ordered tartar sauce to go with lobster and got tomato sauce. I ordered a Zinfandel rose and was given a dry French rose. When I questioned the waiter he said, oh do you not like dry!

Order of tour content subject to change depending on traffic conditions (i.e. bullet train journey may be first instead of last)
Group Travel Requirements
All guests must travel with the tour group through each itinerary item for the duration of the tour

Money
Credit cards are widely accepted in Japan, particularly in larger cities and metropolitan areas. However, there are some areas where credit cards are not as widely accepted – for example, in some smaller shops, in rural areas, and at some tourist attractions.

Medicine
It’s illegal to possess or use some common prescription and over-the-counter medicines under Japan’s anti-stimulant laws. With ignorance of the law not a viable defence, you should check the medication bans prior to booking if you’re on medication.
