Arriving at the main square of Sensoji, you will see the Hozo Gate. From here, a hundred-meter stone-paved path leads to the main hall where Kannon is enshrined.

③ There are three types of buses: large buses, minibuses, and 9-seater vans.

Given the limited space in the bus compartments, we recommend that you travel with as little luggage as possible. Our company will arrange the appropriate vehicle based on the final group size to ensure that each person has a seat.
④ To avoid excessive congestion at tourist attractions, in most cities, the parking spots for tour buses are located farther away from the attractions. Drivers are not allowed to park indiscriminately, as violations will result in hefty fines. Therefore, the boarding and alighting locations may be a certain distance from the attractions. We ask for the understanding of all group members.

① Smoking is strictly prohibited inside the bus.
② Do not carry any prohibited items.
③ Do not tamper with any objects on the bus to avoid unnecessary damage.

⑤ When getting off the bus for sightseeing, dining, or shopping, please make sure to close the bus windows and take your valuables with you. The travel agency will not be responsible for any loss or theft.
