Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links. Click one and book, and the booking platform pays this site a small commission. You pay the same price you would pay booking directly. That commission keeps the site running, covering hosting and research, and it is the only way tour bookings earn this site anything.

How This Site Earns Money

Every tour card links to the live booking page for that listing, from a Shinjuku izakaya crawl to an Asakusa sushi class. Book through one of those links and the platform pays this site a commission on the sale. The from-price you see, for instance $84.21 for the Shibuya food tour with 13 dishes, is the same whether you arrive through this site or open the listing yourself. Nothing is added to your total.

Links That Go Elsewhere

Beyond tour bookings and the digital guide described elsewhere on this page, this site sells nothing. You will find no flight pages, rail pass sellers, hotel engines or travel insurance partners here, and there is no parent booking network behind the scenes. A few links point to background reading on Tokyo food culture; those exist for context, not money. Should that ever change, the change gets announced here plainly.

Accommodation has no place on this site. No hotel engine, ryokan booking page or room aggregator receives traffic from here, and none of them pays for it either. Revenue is simple: a commission when someone books a tour, plus one digital guide the owner sells personally. So a comparison between the Shibuya 13-dish tour at $84.21 and the Ueno tasting walk at $107.99 reflects the listings themselves and nothing else.

The Owner's Own Product: A Look At The Tokyo Food List

The Tokyo Food List is the site owner's own product, sold directly for $9 rather than listed through an affiliate. It covers 980+ Tokyo restaurants, sorted by cuisine with ratings, price ranges and what to order at each one.

How Tours On This Site Are Chosen And Ranked

Rankings here follow what the listings show, not what they pay. Operators cannot buy a higher slot, and nothing gets bumped up because its commission rate is fatter. Every rating, review total and from-price, like the Tsukiji market walk at 4.9 across 3,868 reviews, is lifted from the live booking page without adjustment. If a category skews expensive, the tastings and premium selection for instance, that is simply the shape of the market, not a payout decision.

Anything unclear, please ask. The contact page lists an email for questions about commissions, listings or the guide, and the privacy page sets out what data gets collected and why. Curious why one izakaya crawl sits above another, or how a tour earned its spot at all? Write in and the answer will be direct. Plain dealing is the whole point of this page.
