About Ryu Journal

Ryu Journal is an independent travel site focused on practical Japan trip planning, transport, accommodation, attractions, and travel preparation.

Who Runs This Site

I’m Ryu, the writer and editor of Ryu Journal. I created this site to help travelers make clearer decisions before they book and to reduce the small planning mistakes that can waste time and money during a trip.

How Articles Are Created

Some articles include first-hand observations from places I have personally visited or lived. Other articles are research-based and use official tourism, transport, government, airline, and venue information. I clearly distinguish first-hand experience from researched information and never present research as a personal visit.

Before publishing or updating an article, I check practical details such as prices, reservation rules, transport conditions, opening information, and important restrictions. Because travel information changes, readers should also confirm time-sensitive details on the linked official source before booking.

Editorial Principles

• No fabricated travel experiences, photographs, reviews, or experts.
• No rankings presented as objective without a clear method.
• Affiliate relationships are disclosed and do not determine factual conclusions.
• Errors are corrected when identified.
• Official sources are prioritized for time-sensitive information.

Contact and Corrections
