Surcharges
- Groups of 5 or more (max 8)+¥3,000 per person
- Extension+¥5,000 per hour
- Distant meeting points (over 90 min from my base)+¥5,000
- Early start (before 07:00)+¥5,000
The distance surcharge is an increase in the guide fee to reflect my travel time — it is not a pass-through of my fares. My own transport costs are always inside the fee.

How to pay
Card payment through Stripe: Visa, Mastercard, American Express and JCB, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay. Cards issued outside Japan work without any special steps.
Online plans are paid on the spot. For in-person plans I check availability first, then email you a payment link. Stripe sends your receipt automatically. I don't take cash.
