Last updated: July 2026. This page explains how Wayfarer Japan (“we”, “us”) handles your information, our use of cookies, and our affiliate relationships. By using this website you agree to this policy.
Affiliate disclosure
Wayfarer Japan is reader-supported. Some links on this site are affiliate links: if you click one and make a booking or purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps keep our guides free and regularly updated. We only recommend products and services we would genuinely use ourselves, and our opinions are our own — a commission never changes what we recommend.
Who we are
Wayfarer Japan is a Japan-based travel blog publishing guides for visitors to Japan. Our website address is https://wayfarerjapan.com.
Cookies
We use cookies to keep the site working, understand how it is used, and support affiliate tracking. When you first visit, you can accept or decline non-essential cookies via our consent banner. You can also clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time; some features may not work if you do.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools to collect anonymous, aggregated information about how visitors use the site (such as pages viewed and general location). This helps us improve our content. This data does not personally identify you.
Information you give us
If you contact us through our contact form or leave a comment, we collect the information you choose to provide (such as your name, email address and message) solely to respond to you and manage the site. We do not sell your personal information.
Third-party links
Our guides link to third-party websites (for example booking platforms, eSIM providers and rail-pass sellers). Those sites have their own privacy policies and terms, and we are not responsible for their content or practices. Please review their policies before providing any personal or payment information.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (including the EU/UK under GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct or delete the personal data we hold about you, or to object to its processing. To make a request, contact us using the details below.
