How the articles are made

Not a 2019 blog. Not an agency selling you a package.

Check official pages

Prices come straight from agencies, operators and Japanese government pages on the date shown.

Read it myself

I'm Japanese — I read labels, terms and footnotes in Japanese, not translations.

Write with dates

Numbers that can't be confirmed are written as ranges. Drafted with AI, re-checked by me.
