Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, of course. Everyone is welcome to join.
Regardless of your faith, our tours are designed to be rewarding for anyone with an interest in the Bible, history or religion. The travel handbook we send you also explains the character and history of each site we visit and its connections to the modern world.
During the tour there will be time set aside to attend Mass. As this is an important time of prayer for Christian participants, we kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation.
Yes. We also arrange private, original tours for church groups and organizations, planned flexibly to match your preferred schedule and destinations.
If you already have a particular country or region in mind, please let us know. We also welcome questions and consultations such as "I'd like to go on a Holy Land tour but don't know where to choose," or "Where can I travel safely given the current situation?"
Please feel free to contact us first of all.
If you have any concerns, please consult us in advance.
At our destinations you will not always be walking on smooth, well-paved concrete. On overseas tours in particular, you may walk for more than ten minutes over uneven cobblestones or unpaved roads, and there may be steep uphill and downhill sections.
There are also times when we have no choice but to use narrow lanes that vehicles cannot enter, so if you have even the slightest concern, please do not hesitate to consult us.
There is absolutely nothing to worry about.
So that even first-time overseas travelers can join with peace of mind, we hold an orientation before departure when needed and carefully explain the necessary preparations and how things will proceed on site. We provide full support with airport procedures and immigration, and a Japanese tour conductor accompanies you from departure to return. On site we arrange an environment where Japanese is understood, so you can consult us at any time if there is anything you are unsure about.
Yes, this is possible.
We have had guests who joined us on site or who went their own way partway through the tour, so this is not a problem.
Because it affects hotel and transport arrangements, please consult us as early as possible.
As a registered Class 3 travel business, we plan and arrange tours upon receiving a request to run a tour from our customers.
For this reason, we are unable to publicly announce or recruit for tours that are currently seeking participants.
For those who are interested, we send tour details and proposals individually. Please feel free to contact us, and we will carefully provide guidance tailored to your wishes.
Payment can be made by bank transfer or credit card.
Cancellation fees vary depending on the tour content and departure date, so we will provide the details at the time of booking.

3. After confirming whether you have overseas travel insurance and any individually required arrangements, we send you an invoice covering the tour fee and those individual arrangements. To keep the travel arrangements running smoothly, we ask that payment be made by the stated deadline.

5. When necessary, we hold a briefing session before the trip.

We also update a variety of information from time to time in the "News" section of our website. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at any time.
