Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Bring a Friend Who Is Under 20 Years Old?
"We’re wondering if we can bring a friend who’s not yet 20 – sadly, in Japan, you gotta be 20+ to drink, so they might not be able to participate fully in the bar-hopping fun."
Are Cameras Allowed During the Tour?
We love capturing memories, and yes, cameras are allowed during the tour! We’ll even get some photos taken by our guide, so we can focus on having a blast – cheers to that!
Can I Request a Specific Type of Drink or Dish?
When it comes to foodie adventures, we’re always curious about customization options. Can we request a specific type of drink or dish? Generally, it depends on the tour, but with MagicalTrip, they offer a vegan menu, so maybe, just maybe, they’ll accommodate our requests.
Are There Any Restrooms Available During the Tour?
We’re wondering if we’ll have a chance to take a break from the bar-hopping action, and luckily, yes, there are restrooms available during the tour, so we can take care of business and get back to the fun!
Can I Leave the Tour Early if I Need To?
We can’t always stick around till the end, and sometimes we need to make a quick exit. Yeah, it’s totally fine to leave the tour early if you need to – just let your guide know beforehand, okay?
