A multi-day itinerary is a set of separately contracted services, and each one carries its own cancellation terms — a rail sector, a ryokan night and a guided day do not cancel on the same schedule. The terms that apply to your booking are the ones attached to the components on your confirmation, and they are shown in full on the quotation before anything is paid.
Each experience page in the marketplace publishes its own cancellation table. Hotel and transport terms are released with the agent quotation.
