Privacy Policy, Terms & Disclosures

Last updated 9 August 2026. Operated from Ohio, USA.

01 — AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE

Affiliate Disclosure

This site participates in affiliate programs. Japan Bouldering Guide may earn a commission when you buy or book through links on this site, at no additional cost to you.

Some links on this site are affiliate links to third-party services climbers commonly use — rail passes, eSIM data plans, rental cars, travel insurance, accommodation and climbing gear. If you click one of those links and make a purchase, the operator of this site may receive a commission from the merchant. The price you pay is the same as it would be without the link.

Commissions do not influence editorial content. Products and services are listed because they are the ones we would use ourselves, and a recommendation is never sold. Where a service has real drawbacks, those are stated alongside it.

This site also sells paid downloadable guide packs and accepts voluntary reader donations. Those are direct purchases from the site operator, not affiliate transactions.
