YOKOTA TOURS POLICIES
ITT A p r i l
You must be 18 or older to sign up for a Yokota Tour. All participants 17 years and under must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian to go on Yokota Tours. Please read the tour descriptions in this brochure thoroughly. Participants are encouraged to eat a good breakfast prior to departing on all morning tours; you may also bring your own food on the tours. Rest stops are made on all tours lasting over two hours. (The food at the rest stops is primarily Japanese and currency used is yen.) At all stops, we encourage passengers to return to the same seat taken at the beginning of the tour, and always return to the bus at the time directed by the tour guide. Buses for all Yokota Tours depart near building 2000. Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to departure time as buses leave promptly, rain or shine. Full payment for the cost of the tour is due at the time of reservation and must be made in person. All payments must be made in cash, check or charge (VISA, MASTERCARD or CLUB CARD); yen will not be accepted. Smoking and consumption of alcoholic beverages are prohibited on the tour bus. Personal coolers are acceptable but must be stored in the luggage compartment beneath the bus. Listening to media players is allowed only with the use of headphones. Parents must ensure their children are well behaved and do not disturb other passengers. The Yokota ITT staff strive to ensure the most enjoyable trip possible. We will make every reasonable effort to accommodate groups when requested. However, due to seating and ticket availability, this may not always be possible. The Yokota ITT Office is not responsible for the loss of personal items (baggage, equipment, etc.) left on the bus. The Yokota ITT Office is not responsible for any accidents due to personal negligence or misconduct on the tour. All trip schedules can change due to traffic and/or other extenuating circumstances. Prices and schedules are subject to change without notice.
Yokota Tour Wait-List Policy If the tour is full, you can put your name on a waiting list. If there are any cancellations, we will try to contact you three times via phone. After receiving the phone call, you will have 24 hours to come by the Yokota ITT Office to sign up. After the 24 hour period is over, we will move on to the next person on the list.
Inclement Weather All tour cancellations due to inclement weather will be determined by 4 p.m. the day before the scheduled tour. Customers will be notified by 6 p.m. that night. In the event a cancellation is necessary, charge refunds will be made the following day and cash refunds will be available after five business days.
