How this site is funded, how we choose partners, and what that means for you.
Last updated: August 19, 2026
Some links on this page are affiliate links. We may earn a commission if you make a purchase through them, at no additional cost to you.
Easy Travel in Japan is free to use. Instead of charging travelers, we earn a commission when someone continues to a partner's site through a link on this site and completes a booking or purchase there. This is what allows us to research services, keep information current, and keep the site free.
No extra cost to you
Prices are set by our partners. Buying through a link never costs you more than going direct.
Editorial independence
Commission rates never determine what we say about a service, or which options we feature.
Honest recommendations
We don’t fabricate rankings, reviews, prices, or availability. No evidence, no claim.
Where you'll see affiliate links
Affiliate links appear in a few clearly scoped places on this site:
- Partner cards and "Recommended partners" sections on service pages
- Comparison tables that help you weigh options for a given service
- Final call-to-action buttons that send you to a partner's booking or purchase page
Guides, destination pages, and general travel information are not affiliate content — they exist to help you plan, independent of any partner relationship.
How we choose partners
We feature partners that are genuinely useful for travelers in Japan, based on what a service offers and who it tends to suit — not on which one pays the highest commission. Where we don't have evidence to support a claim about coverage, price, or availability, we don't make it, and we never label a partner "best" or "#1" without real evidence behind it.
Frequently asked questions
Does clicking an affiliate link cost me anything extra?
No. If you make a purchase after following a link, we may earn a small commission from the partner, at no additional cost to you.
Do partners pay to be featured or ranked higher?
No. Partners cannot pay for placement, a better label, or a higher position on a page. Commission arrangements have no influence on what we write or recommend.
How do you decide which partners to feature?
We look at what the service offers, who it tends to suit, and whether it is genuinely useful for travelers in Japan. We use labels like "Recommended" or "Good for short trips" instead of unverifiable rankings.
Are all links on this site affiliate links?
No. Only links to partner booking or purchase pages are affiliate links. Links to guides, destinations, and informational content on this site are not.
