About Japan Travel

Japan Travel is an independent travel guide created to help travelers plan better trips to Japan.

Our mission

Our goal is simple: make planning a trip to Japan easier, clearer and more useful. We create practical guides covering destinations, itineraries, transportation, budgeting, accommodations, food, activities, connectivity and travel preparation.

Independent travel information

Japan Travel is an independent travel website. We are not affiliated with the Japanese government, tourism authorities, airlines, hotels or individual attractions unless specifically stated.

Travel information can change, so readers should verify important details such as schedules, entry requirements, opening hours, prices and booking conditions with the relevant official provider before traveling.

How we create recommendations

We aim to recommend options that are useful and relevant to travelers. Some links may be affiliate links. If you make a qualifying purchase or booking through one of those links, Japan Travel may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate relationships do not automatically determine what we recommend or write about.
