Payment Option

You can choose from various payment methods for your tour reservation, depending on the country in which the booking takes place and the time of the booking. But whichever method you choose, you can rest assured that your payment is always safe.

Note: You can use a different payment method to pay your balance from the one used to pay your initial deposit.

Japan Deluxe Tours accepts the following credit cards for payment:

• Visa
• Master
• American Express
• Discover

Please note that in some countries you will be charged a Foreign Transaction Fee.

For Deposit

To use your credit card to pay the deposit, after you have selected your tour, choose ‘credit card’ under the form of payment options. Next, select the organization that issued the credit card. Enter all necessary details and confirm your booking. Once we have processed your credit card, we will send you an updated invoice.

For Balance

To use your credit card to pay the balance of your tour, click the "Booked Guests" option on our homepage JapanDeluxeTour.com and select the "Payment" option. Then enter your Reservation Number you received in your confirmation email along with your email to proceed to the payment page. Enter the required information to complete your payment. Once we have processed your credit card, we will send you an updated invoice.

Security

Your payment details will be encoded and sent using a secure connection. You can check the security details by clicking “VERIFIED & SECURED” banner at the bottom of our website. A window will pop up containing all connection data. It shows that an SSL connection is used. (Your credit card information, including the number and expiration date, will not be stored.)

Amount reserved on your credit card

When using a credit card for a booking on JapanDeluxeTour.com, you may see within a few days that your bank account is charged with the amount needed for your purchase. In fact, your bank only reserves this amount until Japan Deluxe Tours finalizes your payment, after which your account will actually be charged. This may take up to 30 days. During this time, the amount may be deducted from your spending limit.

This procedure is outside of the control of Japan Deluxe Tours. If you wish, you can contact your bank to request the release of the reserved amount.

If the amount of time between booking and departure is at least 14 days, you can make a bank transfer.

Once we receive your application and your option to make a bank transfer, we will provide you with our bank information to which you can transfer the money from your own bank account. This can be done using online banking, a transfer form or a cash transaction at your bank.

Your bank may charge a transfer fee for this option. For international transfers, you are always charged a ‘cross border transfer’ fee on top of the tour price. Your bank will be able to provide you with more information about this. If we do not receive the full amount of your tour, you may be asked to pay for the short amount.

Once the full amount has been received, you will be sent your updated invoice by e-mail. It may take up to 5 business days after payment before you receive your paid invoice.

You can pay by cash or check after you have completed your online booking. You can only pay by cash at the Japan Deluxe Tours office in Los Angeles. Checks can be sent by mail.

There is usually no fee charged for cash or check payments, with the exception of bounced checks.

If you wish to pay at the office, make sure to bring along the booking confirmation or booking code that you received via e-mail.

You can use PayPal to book your tours and travel services on JapanDeluxeTours. The PayPal online payment platform is one of the leading systems in the industry. All that is required is an email address. For a detailed explanation on how to use PayPal, find more info on paypal.com.
