The short version
landinjp is a free travel guide. We try hard to be accurate, but we're not a government agency. Always double-check critical information (especially visa, customs, and medication rules) with official Japanese sources before you travel. We're not responsible if things go wrong based on what you read here.
General information only
landinjp provides general travel information for guidance purposes only. Nothing on this site constitutes legal, medical, immigration, or professional advice. Entry requirements, customs rules, and visa conditions change frequently and may differ depending on your nationality, travel history, or circumstances.
Always verify critical information directly with official Japanese government sources before traveling. We link to official sources throughout the site for this reason.
No guarantee of accuracy
While we make every effort to keep information accurate and up to date, we cannot guarantee that all content reflects the most current rules at the time you read it. Japan's entry procedures, customs regulations, and health requirements have changed multiple times in recent years.
landinjp is not responsible for any travel disruptions, denied entry, confiscated items, fines, or any other consequences arising from reliance on information published on this site.
Medication and health information
Information about medications prohibited or restricted in Japan is provided for general awareness only. Rules around controlled substances are complex and depend on your specific medication, dosage, quantity, and nationality.
Do not make decisions about which medications to bring to Japan based solely on this site. Consult your doctor and verify directly with Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) or your country's embassy in Japan before traveling with any prescription medication.
Affiliate links
Some links on landinjp are affiliate links. When you click these links and make a purchase, we may receive a commission. This comes at no extra cost to you.
Affiliate links are always clearly labeled. Our editorial content is not influenced by affiliate relationships — we describe Japan's entry rules accurately regardless of commercial relationships. We do not recommend products we would not use ourselves.
Third-party websites
landinjp links to third-party websites including official government portals, booking platforms, and service providers. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, privacy practices, or availability of any third-party site.
Clicking an external link — including affiliate links — means you are leaving landinjp and are subject to the terms and privacy policy of the destination site.
Currency and pricing
Prices shown on this site (train fares, pass prices, fees) are approximate and provided for comparison purposes. Prices change and may vary by season, booking method, or availability. Always confirm current pricing with the relevant provider before purchasing.
Changes to this disclaimer
We may update this disclaimer at any time without prior notice. Continued use of this site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
