Privacy Policy
Disclosure: This page contains no affiliate links. It explains the affiliate links used elsewhere on this site.
Last updated: November 5, 2026 (the launch date of this English edition)
This policy covers the English edition of Yorimichi (tabinoyorimichi.com/en/), run from Japan by the operator of Yorimichi. It explains, in plain terms, what information is handled when you read these pages — and what is not.
Visitor counting without cookies
We count visits with GoatCounter, an analytics tool chosen because it works without cookies.
- GoatCounter sets no cookies on your device.
- To tell visits apart, it builds a temporary session identifier from your IP address and browser information, keeps it in memory only (for up to eight hours), and does not store your IP address or browser information on disk.
- We see counts — how many people read a page, and roughly where readers come from — not a record of an identifiable person reading.
Because our own counting uses no cookies and stores no IP addresses, this site shows no cookie consent banner for its analytics.
When you follow a booking link
Some links on this site are affiliate links to booking partners (for stays and experiences). When you follow one:
- You leave this site and arrive at the partner's site, and the partner may use its own cookies and tracking to record that your booking started here, so that any commission is attributed correctly.
- That tracking is governed by the partner's own privacy policy, which applies from the moment you arrive. We do not receive your name, payment details, or booking contents from the partner — only aggregate reports that a booking was made.
Embedded videos
Pages on this site embed videos from our YouTube channels. The embedded player is provided by YouTube (Google), and Google may set cookies or collect viewing information through the player under Google's own privacy policy. Where the site format allows, the privacy-enhanced player domain is used.
Advertising programs
The site participates in affiliate programs (ValueCommerce, A8.net, AccessTrade and others). These providers may use cookies to measure conversions when you book or buy through an ad link. Please refer to each provider's policy.
Web fonts
To style headings and dialogue, the site loads Google Fonts. When a page opens, your browser fetches font files from Google's servers, so your IP address and similar data are sent to Google. See Google's privacy policy for how it is handled.
If you contact us
If you write to us through the contact route linked from this site, we use your message and address only to read and answer it. We do not add contact addresses to a mailing list, and we do not sell personal information to anyone.
Your rights
Readers in the EU and the UK (and anywhere else the law gives similar rights) may ask us: what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it. Because our analytics stores no IP addresses and sets no cookies, in most cases we hold nothing that identifies a reader — but the right to ask stands, and we answer every request. Please use the contact route linked in the footer of the Japanese edition and mention the English Privacy Policy.
Changes to this policy
If how we handle information changes — a new tool, a new kind of link — this page is updated first, and the "Last updated" date moves with it.
