IRCTC Launches ₹3.33 Lakh Nine-Day Japan Tour Package
IRCTC is the Indian company that runs train and travel services, and it has created a special trip package to Japan.
A package is like a big bundle that includes the plane, hotel, food, and tickets for sightseeing.
The trip lasts 9 days and goes to five places in Japan: Tokyo, Fuji, Kyoto, Osaka, and Hiroshima.
The trip starts in Lucknow, a city in India, and people fly on Air India airplanes.
The package costs about 3.33 lakh rupees for adults who share a room.
It includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus a guide who speaks English.
It even includes travel insurance and help with the visa needed to enter Japan.
But if the visa is rejected, there is no refund.
The company also charges big fees if people cancel the trip close to the travel date.
So families should plan carefully before booking this exciting trip.
IRCTC is offering a 9-day, 8-night Japan tour package covering Tokyo, Fuji, Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima, starting from Lucknow.
The package costs ₹333,400 per person on double or triple sharing, ₹342,800 for single sharing and ₹288,100 for a child without bed.
Inclusions cover return economy airfare on Air India, hotel stays, all meals, sightseeing entry tickets, visa, travel insurance and an English-speaking tour escort.
No refund is provided if the Japan visa is rejected, and cancellation charges rise steeply from 20% to 100% as departure approaches.
The package includes 5% TCS, which IRCTC says will be deposited in the client's income tax account and may be claimable as a refund.
