- Processing Times
Please note that we are currently experiencing an extremely large volume of reservation requests, therefore processing times are taking longer than normal and may take up to 30 days. We will make every effort to process reservations and prioritize the reservation process depending on the reservation received date and traveling date.
KUMANO TRAVEL does not make reservations in real time because we do not hold or stock rooms as many of the accommodations in our community are small, family-owned establishments that do not use computers often.
Thank you for your understanding and patience during this recovery period. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
