The tour fee you are interested in is 376,500 yen for 7 days and 445,100 yen for 9 days. If you have the physical strength to dash to the last train after the drinking party, can you finish the race? What a sweet idea I have to throw away and start practicing for the full marathon. No, it may be better to save Medoc first.
