At Discover Japan, we prioritize editing practical information that makes it easy for travelers to make informed decisions before visiting a destination. Instead of mass-producing thin pages solely for the purpose of improving search rankings, we gradually improve existing pages based on primary sources, official information, and users' search intent.
Sources to verify
- Official websites of facilities, local governments, and tourism associations.
- Information on public institutions, tourist portals, and transportation.
- Image information with clear licenses, such as Wikimedia Commons.
- Analytics data from Google Search Console, GA4, Ahrefs, etc.
Editorial Policy
- We avoid making definitive statements about information that is prone to change, such as fees, opening hours, closing days, and event schedules, and encourage visitors to check official sources.
- When using photos or images, please check whether commercial use is permitted and provide attribution.
- We will prioritize improving pages where demand can be confirmed through search data.
- Pages with little content will be considered for improvement, consolidation, or removal (noindex).
Updates and corrections
If we find any outdated or incorrect information, we will correct it after checking with official sources. Please be sure to check official sources before visiting, especially regarding opening hours, prices, transportation information, and seasonal events, as these may change.
