Disclaimer & Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: April 20, 2025

FTC Disclosure: Japan Travel Kit participates in affiliate programs and may earn commissions from qualifying purchases made through links on this site. This is at no extra cost to you. Our editorial opinions are our own and are not influenced by affiliate relationships.

1. Affiliate Disclosure

Japan Travel Kit (japan-travel-kit.com) is a participant in several affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on certain links on this website and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may receive a referral commission from the merchant — at no additional cost to you.

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255) and similar regulations in other countries.

2. Our Affiliate Partners

We currently have affiliate relationships with the following companies. Affiliate links from these partners may appear throughout our website, including on product comparison pages and articles.

3. How Affiliate Links Work

When you click an affiliate link on Japan Travel Kit, a tracking cookie is placed in your browser. If you complete a qualifying purchase or action within the cookie window, we receive a small commission from the merchant.

The price you pay is identical whether you use our affiliate link or navigate directly to the merchant's website. Affiliate commissions are paid by the merchant, not added to your purchase price.

4. Our Editorial Independence

Affiliate relationships do not influence our rankings, reviews, or recommendations. We evaluate products based on:

  • Price and value for money
  • Network coverage and connection speed
  • Ease of setup and use for foreign travelers
  • Quality of customer support
  • User reviews and our own testing

We recommend products we genuinely believe will benefit our readers. If a product we have an affiliate relationship with does not meet our standards, we will say so — or not recommend it at all.

We do not accept payment for positive reviews, sponsored rankings, or guaranteed placement. Our top picks reflect honest editorial judgment.

5. Price Accuracy

Prices displayed on Japan Travel Kit are provided for informational purposes and were accurate at the time of writing. Prices and product availability are subject to change without notice. Always verify the current price on the merchant's official website before making a purchase.

6. General Disclaimer

The information on Japan Travel Kit is provided for general informational purposes only. While we make every effort to ensure accuracy, we make no warranties or representations — express or implied — about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, or suitability of the information on this site.

Travel conditions, prices, laws, and regulations can change rapidly. Japan Travel Kit is not responsible for any loss or damages arising from reliance on the information provided on this website. Always verify critical travel information (e.g., visa requirements, entry rules) with official government sources before traveling.

Japan Travel Kit is an independent publication and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to any Japanese government agency, tourism body, or carrier.

7. Third-Party Websites

Our website contains links to third-party websites. These links are provided for your convenience. We have no control over the content or privacy practices of those sites and accept no responsibility for them. Linking to a third-party website does not imply endorsement of its content or policies.

8. Advertising
