Privacy Policy

Wander Japan uses Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics to understand how visitors use this site — pages viewed, general location (country/region level), device type, and referral source. We do not collect names, addresses, or payment information, because we don't operate accounts, checkouts, or logins.

These tools use cookies and similar technologies to distinguish visitors. No personally identifying profile is built or sold.

Many links on this site (to Booking.com, GetYourGuide, Klook, Airalo, Holafly, Sakura Mobile, Ninja WiFi, SafetyWing, World Nomads, Amazon, TableCheck, OMAKASE, and Pocket Concierge) are affiliate links. When you click one, the partner may set its own cookie to track that the visit came from Wander Japan, so we can be credited with a commission if you make a purchase.

We don't control these third-party cookies. Each partner has its own privacy policy governing how it handles your data once you leave our site — we encourage you to review theirs before booking.

See our full affiliate disclosure for how these partnerships work.

Cookies on this site fall into two categories: analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Vercel Analytics) that help us understand aggregate traffic patterns, and affiliate-tracking cookies set by partner networks when you click through to a booking site.

You can block or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Doing so won't prevent you from reading the site, though affiliate partners may not be able to credit a later purchase back to Wander Japan.

Depending on where you live (including under GDPR in the EU/UK and CCPA in California), you may have the right to request what data has been collected about you, ask for it to be deleted, or opt out of analytics tracking.

Since we don't maintain user accounts or a database of personal information, most requests can be satisfied simply by clearing cookies in your browser or using ad-blocking/tracking-protection extensions.

Wander Japan is a general-audience travel guide and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

We may update this policy as the site or its partnerships evolve. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated date.

Questions about this policy or your data can be sent to hello@wanderjapan.guide.
