Pricing

Flat rates per group, not per person. What you see here is what you pay. No fuel surcharges, no per-traveller add-ons.

How our pricing works

Every Kimasu tour is private and quoted per group, up to six guests. The price covers your guide for the full duration, the route planning, and any equipment we provide (bikes, helmets, rain ponchos). Entry tickets to paid sites and personal meals are not included unless stated.

Indicative rates

Final price depends on season, group size, and any custom requests. We confirm the exact amount with your quote.

Quoted prices cover up to six guests. Larger groups are possible with two guides, on request. Solo travellers and couples pay the same per-group rate as a family of four. We do not split bookings across unrelated parties.

Booking and payment

A 30 percent deposit secures your date. The balance is due seven days before the tour. Full refund up to seven days before. 50 percent refund within seven days. No refund inside 24 hours, but we offer a credit for a future date when we can.

Custom requests

Tea ceremony, calligraphy, a specific chef, a temple stay, photography priority, accessibility needs: tell us at the inquiry stage and we will price it as part of your quote.
