About
& disclosure
One page, no fine print: who writes this site, how the facts are checked, and where the money comes from.
Who makes this
thingstodoosaka.com is part of Uncompromised Travel, an independent network of city decision guides. It is written as a decision engine, not a blog: every page answers one question a traveller is actually asking — worth it or skip it, which ticket, which base — and shows its working. No tourism board, attraction, hotel or tour operator pays to appear here or to change a verdict. Start from things to do, ranked or the planning hub.
How facts are checked
Verdicts are editorial judgements. They are built from what operators and governments publish — ticket prices, fares, tax rates, rules — plus the patterns that show up again and again in public traveller reports, which the pages name as such rather than passing off as fact. Prices are given in yen with a dollar conversion; the yen figure is the real one.
The site launched in August 2026 with every price checked then. Since then the 70 pages travellers use most have been re-checked against primary sources — the operators' own sites, city and prefecture tax pages, railway fare tables, the Michelin Guide — and what didn't hold up was corrected or cut. Those pages carry a Sources checked date in their header and a Sources list naming the official pages behind their numbers. Figures no official source publishes — daily budgets, typical waits, crowd scores — are this site's own estimates. Pages without that date were last checked in August 2026.
Two things this site never does: it does not publish opening hours (they change too often for a printed copy to stay right — every venue links to Google Maps, which is current), and it does not invent ratings, review counts or "9 out of 10 travellers" statistics.
Corrections
Found a price that moved, a shop that closed or a rule that changed? Write to [email protected]. A confirmed correction is fixed on the page and moves its Sources checked date; it is not argued with.
How the site makes money
Some outbound booking links are affiliate links: if you buy through one, the platform pays this site a commission and your price does not change. Affiliate links are marked with rel="sponsored" in the page code. The programs in use: GetYourGuide, Klook, Booking.com, TripAdvisor, Airalo (eSIMs), SafetyWing (travel insurance), Kiwi.com (flights), GetTransfer (airport transfers) and Radical Storage (luggage). No operator pays for placement or a verdict, and a SKIP stays a skip even when a partner sells tickets for it.
One plain note on Klook: its buttons here open Klook's homepage, not a specific product, so they are labelled Search Klook — the card tells you what to search for.
The site runs Google Analytics 4 to see which pages help and which links get used. No ads, no sponsored posts, no selling of reader data.
