(5) If our company has stated in the contract document that the travel price varies depending on the number of users of transportation/accommodation facilities, and the number of users changes after the travel contract is concluded due to reasons not attributable to our company, we will change the travel price within the range stated in the contract document.

22. Travel Insurance Coverage
Should you fall ill or sustain an injury during your trip, you may incur substantial medical and transfer expenses. Furthermore, in the event of an accident, claiming damages from the perpetrator and recovering compensation can be extremely difficult, and even if compensation is obtained, it may not always be sufficient. To cover these medical expenses, transfer costs, or death/residual disability, we strongly recommend that customers purchase a "sufficient amount of travel insurance" themselves. Additionally, if you cancel a custom-made package tour due to your own circumstances, a cancellation fee may be incurred depending on the timing of the cancellation.
