Japan Reviewed is not part of any affiliate programme yet, and currently earns nothing from anything on it. Links to retailers are here because they are where you can buy the thing being written about. The intention is to join the Amazon Associates programme; this page will be updated before that happens. As things stand today, nothing on this site pays.

Amazon Associates

Japan Reviewed intends to apply to the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. It is not a participant yet, so Amazon links on this site carry no tracking tag and earn no commission. When that changes, the programme’s required wording will replace this paragraph.

What this does not affect

  • Which products are included in an article. Products are chosen before any commission rate is considered.
  • What is said about them. Where a product has a real drawback, the article says so.
  • Whether a product is recommended at all. Some articles recommend against buying.

Reviews and first-hand use

No article on this site claims first-hand experience of a product that has not actually been used. Where a recommendation is based on specifications, Japanese-language sources or the experience of a closely related product, the article states that explicitly.

Prices and availability

Articles here do not state prices or say whether something is in stock. Both change constantly and belong to the retailer, so you will see the real ones on the product page — which is the only place they are ever correct.
