Hey, it’s Taka.
This is the boring but important legal page.
My goal with this blog is to be your trusted friend in Japan, and that trust starts with being completely transparent about how I run this website.
Here’s everything you need to know in simple, plain English.
My Commitment to Your Privacy
When you use the contact form to ask me a question, I’ll ask for your name and email address.
Please know that I will only use this information to reply to your message.
That’s it.
I will never sell your information or use it for any other purpose.
Your trust is more important to me than anything else.
About Advertising and Affiliate Links
To help keep this blog running and all my guides free for you, I use a few carefully selected services.
- Google AdSense: This is a third-party advertising service. It uses cookies to show you ads that are relevant to your interests. You can opt out of personalized ads at any time through Google’s Ad Settings.
- Affiliate Programs (like Amazon Associates & Klook): Some of the links on this blog are affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. I only recommend products and services that I personally use and believe will add real value to your trip.
About Website Analytics
I use Google Analytics to understand how people are using my website.
This service uses cookies to collect anonymous traffic data, like which articles are the most popular.
This helps me understand what you find helpful so I can create more of it.
This data is completely anonymous and cannot be used to identify you personally.
A Quick Disclaimer
I pour my heart and all my experience into the articles on this blog to make them as accurate and helpful as possible.
However, information (like train schedules or restaurant hours) can change, and some of the content is based on my own personal opinions and experiences.
Please use this blog as your starting point, but always double-check important information.
I cannot be held responsible for any issues that may arise from the use of this website.
About Copyright
I spend a lot of time writing the articles and taking the photos for this blog.
