Acceptance of terms

What we provide

What's On Japan is an events guide that aggregates, translates, and publishes information about events taking place in Japan. We aim to keep information accurate and up to date but we cannot guarantee that all event details — including dates, times, locations, prices, and availability — are correct at the time you read them. Always verify event details directly with the organiser before attending.

Event submissions

By submitting an event to our site you confirm that you have the right to submit the information provided, that the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge, and that you consent to us publishing it on our site and associated channels including social media and newsletter.

We reserve the right to decline, edit, or remove any submission at our discretion. Submission does not guarantee publication.

Featured listings

Payment for a featured listing secures placement as described at the time of purchase for the agreed period. We do not guarantee specific traffic or attendance outcomes from featured placement. Payments are non-refundable once the listing has been published.
