About e2japan

e2japan provides:

• Travel guides and blog articles about cities, culture, and onsen
• Designated smoking-area guides and an interactive smoking map
• Neighborhood area guides with landmarks and hotels
• Directories of landmarks, shrines, temples, and hotels across Japan
• Folded Japan-interest sections (mythical creatures, woodworking, radio, design, traditional games)
• An Earth2 metaverse subsection (separate from core travel content)

Property operators can create a free business account, claim their hotel listing, and (when approved) view listing analytics. Paid “Tier 2” guest-guide upgrades may be offered later. See Advertise for current offers.

Our guides are written for tourists and residents who need clear, practical information—especially around smoking rules, districts, and where to stay. We update content periodically; always verify local rules and opening hours on official sources before you travel.

Some pages include affiliate or sponsored links (for example hotel websites, Buyee marketplace searches, Japan Experience products, or partner offers). If you click or purchase through those links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This helps fund the site. Outbound affiliate clicks may be logged so we can understand which offers are useful.
