Affiliate disclosure
We may earn a commission when you book through links on this site, at no additional cost to you. Here is exactly how that works.
The short version
Japan Best Ryokan may earn a commission when you book through links on this site, at no additional cost to you. You pay the same price you would pay going to the booking site directly.
How it works
Some links on this site to booking partners are affiliate links. If you follow one and make a reservation, the partner pays us a share of their commission on that booking. The inn does not pay us, and your rate is not increased.
We participate in the affiliate programmes of the programmes we have been approved for. Applications are in progress, and this list will name each one once approved. Where we are a member of a programme that requires specific wording, that wording appears on this page.
What commission does not affect
It does not affect which inns we feature, the order they appear in, or what we write about them. No inn or booking partner reviews our text before publication, and no position on this site is for sale.
If a partner pays a higher rate than another, that is not a reason for us to prefer it. Where several partners sell the same inn, we intend to show you the options rather than steer you to one.
Prices and availability
Prices and guest ratings shown on this site are recorded manually and carry the date they were checked. They are not live. Rates, taxes, meal plans and availability are set by the inn and the booking partner and change without notice. Always confirm the final price and the cancellation terms on the partner's page before you pay.
Where disclosure appears
A disclosure appears at the top of every page of this site, in the footer, and here. We consider that a minimum rather than a formality.
