Q Can I change what I cannot eat? (Religion or allergy)
A

All plans can be removed or changed. (pork to chicken, bouillon to consommé, etc.)
Please inform us at the time of application.

Q I am a vegetarian. Can I make my meal a vegetable?
A

Meat can be removed or changed in all plans.
Please indicate at the time of application which type of vegetarianism you prefer. We will be happy to accommodate your request. (e.g. dairy products are OK, eggs are not OK, etc.)

Q Can I drive to Iiyama in winter?
A

First-time visitors are also welcome to come by car.
However, January and February are the months when there is a lot of snow and the roads are icy in the morning and evening. (All-season tires are not allowed because of the studless tires regulation.)

【Tire Chains】
2WD: If you are going to the mountains, you will need to carry tire chains.
4WD: You do not need to bring chains.
(There is a slight slope after exiting the Toyota Iiyama Interchange, but other than that, the area from the city center to the Togari area is mostly flat.)

If you are going to the mountain areas other than downtown Iiyama, such as the Snow Monkey Park in Jigokudani Yaen-koen or the spotted mountain ski area, it is often difficult to drive with 2WD only.

If you are renting a car or other vehicle, please let us know that you are heading to Iiyama City (or other destinations) and ask about equipment such as tires and chains.

Q I live overseas. Can I make a reservation?
A

You can apply online from any country. (However, please note that the tour will meet and disband locally, so you will be responsible for making your own arrangements to get to the meeting point.)
Please choose credit card as your payment method.
