Current research scope and sources
What this site offers right now
Japanese-language sources
Claim-level records include operator pages, official help, timetables, public data and first-party destination guidance.
English-language sources
English routes are checked separately so the guide can show where the visitor-facing version omits a rule or detail.
French-language sources
French official travel guidance is recorded in its published language rather than relabelled as English evidence.
German-language sources
German official travel guidance is checked separately when a market-specific recommendation changes the decision.
Mixed-language sources
Bilingual timetables and Japanese pages with English stop names remain labelled as mixed evidence.
Shared responsibilities
Every maintained decision guide names the publisher, source scope, review date, next review and public change history.
What responsibility means to us
The editor owns the decision, not just the links
Official sources establish rules and current facts. The owner-editor is responsible for explaining how those facts affect an international traveller, marking uncertainty and correcting the guide when the evidence changes.
Community photos, public social links and reader reports are treated as leads and kept private until independently reviewed. No submission is published automatically.
Some travel photographs are used with the photographer’s permission. Their credits identify the source. This permission applies to Japan, Booked. and does not grant permission for reuse.
