About How to Book Japan
How to Book Japan is an independent guide for visitors who want to book Japan's trains, tickets and transfers without guessing. It is run by the How to Book Japan editorial team, based in Japan.
Some links on this site are affiliate links. This page explains how that works.
What we cover
We explain how to book attraction tickets, rail passes, the Shinkansen, airport transfers and day trips, step by step. Every guide is written in English, Korean and Traditional Chinese.
We are not affiliated with any operator, venue, JR, Klook or KKday. Nobody pays us to be listed or to be recommended.
How we make money
- Some links are affiliate links to Klook and KKday, through Travelpayouts. When you book through one, we earn a commission.
- The price is the same for you whether you use our link or not.
- Commissions don't change what we recommend.
- When the official site is cheaper, or is the only place that sells it, we say so and link the official site first.
