Arrival/Check In - For Option B participants, there is a free Nagoya airport
pickup on each of the days indicated in the "Arrival/Check In" column of the table above. Please note that it is not
possible to arrive on the day the tour starts, you need to arrive at least the previous day. If you are worried that
flights may be delayed - schedule your flight/train for the first of the two Arrival/Check in days. It may be
possible to arrive in Okazaki earlier, however in this case accommodation in Yamasa's
Student Housing facilities cannot be guaranteed and a small airport pickup charge
may apply. If you need to check in earlier than 2 days before the tour option commences, please ensure that
you contact us as early as possible to see what accommodation might be
available and what the cost of the airport pickup (if required) would be.

Notes:
+Departure from/Return to Okazaki times given using 24 hour clock (ie 0800 = 8am, 1830 = 6.30pm)
+Lunch - Yes/No indicates whether lunch is included or not.
Return = N/A means an overnight stay, usually in a ryokan or minshuku. Evening meal/Breakfast is always included.
If the number of students
participating is 9 students or less (which is usually the case in the off season), then the actual destinations, or the
order in which they are visited, can often be altered to reflect the specific interests of the group members.
Please also note that the schedule may need to be changed in the event of inclement weather/typhoons etc, or the unforeseen closure
of any given destination. Appropriate alternative destinations are chosen only after consultation with you.
To help ensure that students can budget for expenses accurately, Institute staff will either purchase food (usually
bento and drinks) for you to eat or find a reasonably priced restaurant (maximum cost 1000 yen - with Yamasa paying for the
remainder of your food bill) if due to traffic/weather conditions we are delayed by more than one hour on the days we
return to Okazaki accommodation.
