Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: April 2026
How We Earn Revenue
TimeToJapan is a free travel resource. To keep the site running and continuously updated, we participate in affiliate programs with a small number of trusted partners. This means that some links on our site are affiliate links.
When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase or booking, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the provider's website.
Our Affiliate Partners
We work with two affiliate partners:
- Stay22 — Our hotel and accommodation partner. Stay22 powers the hotel widgets and price comparisons on our site, showing you rates from platforms like Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, and Agoda in one place. When you book accommodation through these links, we earn a commission via Stay22.
- Klook — Our partner for tours, activities, transportation passes (including the JR Pass), and experiences. When you book an activity or pass through a Klook link on our site, we earn a commission.
These are our only affiliate relationships. Any other external links on the site (to official tourism websites, transport operators, apps, etc.) are provided purely for your convenience and we earn nothing from them.
Our Commitment to Honesty
Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. We recommend destinations, attractions, hotels, and services based on their value to travellers, not on commission rates. Our goal is to help you plan the best possible Japan trip.
Affiliate links on our site are marked so you always know when a link may earn us a commission.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Creating and maintaining a comprehensive Japan travel guide requires significant time and effort. Affiliate commissions help us:
- Keep the website free for all travellers
- Regularly update information to ensure accuracy
- Add new destinations, neighbourhoods, and attraction guides
- Maintain and improve our interactive features like the map and trip planner
About Prices Shown
Hotel prices and other costs displayed on TimeToJapan are approximate and based on typical rates at the time of writing. Actual prices vary based on season, demand, holidays (especially Golden Week, cherry blossom season, and New Year), room type, and booking timing.
We recommend checking current prices directly on the booking platform before making any reservations. Price ranges shown in our hotel recommendations are intended as a general guide only.
