Affiliate disclosure

Some links on This Way Japan are affiliate links. If you book or buy through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

What that means

An affiliate link is a normal link with a tracking code attached. If you click one and then make a booking or a purchase, the company pays us a small share of what they earn. You never pay more because of it. The price you see is the price you would have paid anyway.

What it does not mean

• We are not paid to recommend anything specific.
• No company reviews or approves our guides before they are published.
• We recommend things we would use ourselves, and we say so when something is not worth the money.
• Where an option has no affiliate programme and it is still the best choice, we say so.

How to spot them

Affiliate links on this site point to /go/ before sending you to the partner, and they carry the rel="sponsored nofollow" attribute.

Programmes we take part in

We participate in affiliate programmes operated by accommodation, tour, and retail partners.
