How partner links work
Some outbound links may generate a commission at no extra cost to the reader. The goal is to keep recommendations transparent instead of hiding monetization behind generic buttons.
Disclosure
Editorial and affiliate disclosure
Some pages may include partner links. Those links are meant to support the project after a guide has already explained the fit, tradeoffs, and cautions. Readers should still confirm the latest official information before booking or purchasing.
How links are selected
Links should appear only when the article already narrows the best-fit scenario. The comparison, cautions, and official-source notes should come before the booking step.
Accuracy limits
Routes, fares, pass conditions, cancellation policies, baggage limits, and product availability can change without notice.
Responsibility
Who is responsible for the content
This site is operated under the First Days Japan editorial name. The site owner is responsible for article updates, disclosure placement, and correction handling for the content published here.
This project does not act as the airline, rail operator, hotel, or booking merchant. Final reservation responsibility, fare rules, cancellation terms, and service delivery belong to the operator or partner shown on the destination page.
Corrections
How factual issues should be reported
Editorial corrections and site-level partnership messages should use the published contact form. The most reliable way to verify a claim is still to compare the article's official-source block, its last-checked date, and the live operator page for the route or product in question.
Readers should treat any time-sensitive travel detail as provisional until it is confirmed on the live operator or property page.
Editorial method
What readers should expect
- A guide should explain the least confusing option first, especially for arrival and first-night decisions.
- If a partner link appears, the page should explain why that link is relevant to the situation instead of presenting it as a default answer.
- Readers should see what to verify on the final booking page, including cancellation, timing, luggage, taxes, or pass validity.
Before paying
Checks readers should still make
- Confirm the latest schedule, fare, or validity conditions on the official operator page.
- Review cancellation, prepayment, baggage, and late-arrival rules on the final booking page.
- Double-check that the linked product still matches the route, area, or traveler type described in the article.
Reader reminder
Travel details should always be rechecked on the final page
Routes, schedules, room policies, luggage rules, and eSIM plan details can change between the article update date and the moment you book. Use the article's official-source block and the final partner or operator page together before paying.
