About the fee reduction of Japanese tour groups

It must be handed in. Moreover, outbound travel agencies are generally not allowed to leave the group, because there are risks such as smuggling, and travel agencies have to bear the responsibility.

You can come out after returning to the hotel, but the general tour guide will also say that the travel agency is not responsible for the problem. If you meet a tour guide who is afraid of taking responsibility, you may not be allowed to leave the hotel at night.

Taking off the tour fee is to compensate the travel agency for the money, tips and the like that the guests didn't earn that day. Moreover, the tour fee of the day is non-refundable, including the money of scenic spots, transportation, meals and so on. You have to pay another fee to get rid of the tour fee.

So if there is nothing to quit the group, try to join the group. If you are meeting a friend, it should be no problem for him to meet you at the hotel at night ~
