Privacy

Last updated October 20, 2026

Japan Trip Hub is a travel guide site. We do not sell anything directly, we do not run user accounts, and we do not maintain a mailing list. That keeps this short.

What we collect

We removed the Google Analytics tag from this site on October 20, 2026. Pages served with this update no longer send visits through that tag. This change does not delete data collected before its removal.

If you send us something through our contact form, we receive the name, email address and message you type. We use that to reply to you and to correct the site. We do not add you to any list. The form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, a bot-detection service that processes technical signals such as your IP address and browser characteristics to tell humans from bots. Cloudflare processes that data on our behalf under its own privacy terms.

This site is served through Cloudflare, which processes requests and may log technical information such as IP addresses for security and performance reasons.

What we do not collect

No payment details, because we do not take payments. No accounts or passwords, because there is nothing to log in to. No newsletter list. We do not sell or share reader data with anyone.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and then book or buy, the merchant or affiliate network may set a cookie to attribute that purchase to us, and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That tracking happens on their side under their own privacy policies, not ours. We receive commission reports, not your personal details.

This never changes what we recommend. Our guide to the nationwide JR Pass concludes that most visitors should not buy one, which is the opposite of what pays.

Cookies

Google Analytics cookies from earlier visits may remain in your browser until they expire or you delete them. After you click an affiliate link, the merchant or affiliate network may set its own cookies. You can manage or delete cookies in your browser settings.

Your choices

If you have sent us a message and want it deleted, ask and we will delete it.

If you are in a jurisdiction that gives you rights over your personal data, such as the EU, the UK or California, and you want to exercise them, contact us and we will act on it. Given what we hold, this usually means deleting a contact form message.

Children

This site is aimed at adults planning travel. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes

If we add anything that changes what we collect, we will update this page and change the date at the top rather than quietly editing it.
