Advertising Policy

Local Japan Guide may use affiliate links, sponsored placements, or partner offers after business approval. Advertising relationships should be clearly disclosed near the relevant recommendation.

Paid or affiliate links should use rel="sponsored". If a link is both sponsored and not intended to pass ranking signals, rel="sponsored nofollow" may be used.

Advertising should not be disguised as independent review. Comparison tables, CTA blocks, and product cards should show decision criteria, relevant limitations, and the reason a traveler might choose or skip the option.
