Legal

Terms of Use

These terms govern access to Sakura Insider and the use of its editorial content.

Last updated: [TO BE COMPLETED: date]

Bracketed items are placeholders the site operator still has to fill in. Until they are completed they are not valid legal information.

1. Purpose of the website

Sakura Insider is an independent editorial publication about travel in Japan: destination guides, itineraries, experiences and practical tips.

2. Editorial and informational nature

Everything published here is editorial and informational. It is not professional advice, not a booking service, and not a guarantee of any outcome for your trip.

3. Acceptable use

You agree to use the site lawfully and not to disrupt its operation.

— No bulk or automated extraction of content without written permission.
— No attempts to access administration areas or data without authorisation.
— No full republication of articles without prior agreement.

4. Intellectual property

The text, photography, illustrations, graphic elements and editorial design of this site are protected. Reproduction, adaptation or distribution without written permission is prohibited. Short quotations remain possible where the source is clearly credited and linked.

5. External links

We link to official sources and third-party services. We do not control those sites and accept no responsibility for their content, terms or data practices.

6. Limits of travel information

Practical information about Japan (timetables, services, access rules, entry conditions) changes. We date and source it wherever we can, but you should always confirm it with official sources before you travel.

7. Prices and availability

Any prices, availability or commercial conditions mentioned come from external sources as of the date stated in the article. They may change without notice and are not an offer. Only the provider concerned is authoritative.

8. Affiliate relationships

The site may carry affiliate links. The details are on our Affiliate Disclosure page. A commercial relationship never guarantees editorial coverage.

The site is provided “as is”. To the extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for indirect damages arising from use of the site, temporary unavailability, or a travel decision taken on the basis of its content.

10. Changes to content

Articles may be updated, corrected, unpublished or archived at any time, in particular when information becomes outdated.
