Book Direct Japan does not ask you to create an account or submit personal details. We use analytics to understand how travelers use this guidance.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to measure page views, hotel searches, and clicks on booking and membership links. Google Analytics uses first-party cookies (such as _ga) to recognize a returning browser. It does not tell us who you are. Google processes this data as described in How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland are not given analytics cookies by default. For those visitors, Google Analytics receives only cookieless signals.

You can opt out of Google Analytics on all sites with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Booking link clicks

Booking and membership links pass through a redirect on this site so that we can count which links are used. The redirect sets a first-party cookie named bdj_client_id that holds a random identifier, and it records the hotel, the link, and its position on the page. The destination site has its own privacy policy.

Advertising and affiliates

We do not use advertising cookies or personalized advertising. If we add affiliate links, the affiliate network may set its own cookies after you leave this site. See the affiliate disclosure.
