How Affiliate Links Work
The Japan We Know participates in affiliate marketing programs.
Some links on this website are affiliate links. This means that if you click one of these links and make a purchase, booking, or other qualifying transaction, The Japan We Know may receive a commission from the company or affiliate network.
Using an affiliate link does not normally increase the price you pay.
Our Approach to Recommendations
Affiliate relationships do not determine what we recommend.
Our goal is to provide useful, practical information that helps travelers understand Japan and make better decisions for their trips.
When we recommend or discuss a product, service, booking platform, travel activity, accommodation, or other offering, we aim to consider its usefulness and relevance to travelers rather than simply whether an affiliate commission is available.
Not every product or service mentioned on The Japan We Know has an affiliate relationship with us.
Prices and Availability
Prices, availability, terms, features, and other details of third-party products and services may change over time.
We try to provide accurate and useful information, but you should confirm important details directly with the relevant provider before making a purchase or booking.
Third-Party Websites
When you follow an affiliate link, you may be taken to a third-party website.
Purchases, bookings, payments, cancellations, refunds, and other transactions made through third-party services are subject to the terms and policies of those providers.
The Japan We Know is not responsible for the operation, availability, or policies of third-party websites or services.
Transparency
Affiliate commissions are one of the ways The Japan We Know may support the cost of creating, researching, maintaining, and improving our content.
Our aim is to make affiliate relationships clear so that readers can make informed decisions about whether to use the links we provide.
