On June 18, the Japan Tourism Agency announced that it will conduct a hearing in order to impose an administrative sanction on JTB (Japan Travel Bureau) under Article 65, Paragraph 1 of the Travel Agency Act.
The case concerns a tour using a chartered bus that was operated from September 2 to September 4, 2025. For this trip, the bus was arranged at a fare below the minimum fare and charges filed by the charter bus operator, and JTB brokered the provision of services that violated Article 9-2, Paragraph 1 of the Road Transportation Act. This constitutes a violation of Article 13, Paragraph 3, Item 2 of the Travel Agency Act. A nine-day suspension of operations is planned for the Mie branch office.
The hearing will be held from 10:00 a.m. on June 25 in Conference Room B of the Japan Tourism Agency, located on the 15th floor of Central Government Building No. 2 in Tokyo, Japan.
