Each article carries the date its facts were last checked and links to the official pages they were checked against. Where something could not be confirmed, the article says so rather than filling the gap.
What is in each part of the city, what is worth booking ahead, and where to stay.
A free view from the 45th floor, a 500-yen garden, three evening tours compared by what the price actually covers, and six hotels near Golden Gai.
Senso-ji and Nakamise, the Keikyu train that reaches Asakusa from Haneda without a change, four things worth booking ahead, and hotels from about US$70 a night.
What you are actually buying, compared side by side and checked against the organisers’ own pages.
The January 2027 tournament and its new ticket prices, morning practice you can watch, and the shows compared — including the most-reviewed one, which is not a dinner show.
Trains and buses from the airports, IC cards, and the fares the operators publish.
Choosing between the two cards, getting one on your phone or in your hand, topping it up, and what happens when the balance runs out mid-journey.
Skyliner, Narita Express, limousine bus, Keikyu and the Monorail — fares, luggage rules and whether your IC card is enough, taken from the operating companies' own pages. Including what none of them publish.
Keisei runs trains from the same airport stations that need no limited-express ticket — ¥990 to Oshiage against the Skyliner’s ¥2,580. What the company publishes about them, and the several things it does not.
The lodging tax that changes in April 2027, the tax-free system, and what the shops' own pages still say.
The discount no longer happens at the till. You pay the full price, clear a customs step at the airport before checking your bags, and the money comes back afterwards — on a timetable that depends on the shop.
Seven major retailers, checked in August. Not one mentions the change — and two of them still spell out rules that will not exist. Which of the three kinds of silence can actually cost you money.
The flat ¥100 or ¥200 gives way to 3% of the room rate, the line below which nothing is due rises to ¥13,000, and private lodgings are brought in. What it costs, and how the rounding lands.
Emergency numbers, what is already in the room, bookings that can be cancelled, and advice that turned out to be wrong.
119 has an English speaker on duty at all times, and you do not need to know the address to call it. The number for "should I even go in?" is the one where no official page will state what language it answers in.
All five big business hotel chains provide it. Between them they call it six different things, and only one English page says "pajamas" — which is why people pack a set they did not need.
The paid bots that trip reports recommend fall inside a ban the cafe spells out on the screen you agree to. If the cafe notices, you lose the table, the cafe refunds nothing — and neither does the service.
Bus doors, Shinkansen gates, deodorant, escalators. Three of the four turned out to be wrong — including one correction that gets posted underneath the original mistake.
Claims that circulate in English get checked one at a time against the operator's or the government's own Japanese pages — the tax agency, the transport bureau, the railway companies, the fire department, the venue itself.
Only what those pages actually say goes into an article. Anything that could not be confirmed is left as a visible gap, and every page carries the date it was checked, because rules change.
