Terms of Use

Last updated: 8 June 2026

These terms govern your use of the Japan from Australia website ("the site"), an independent travel resource operated under Kairn. By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

General information only — not professional advice

The site provides general information to help Australians plan travel to Japan. It is not professional advice and does not take your personal circumstances into account. Travel, visa, health, financial and insurance decisions can depend on facts specific to you, and rules and prices change frequently. Always confirm important details — such as visa requirements, entry rules, prices and timetables — with the relevant official source or a qualified professional before you rely on them.

Affiliate links and disclosure

Some pages contain affiliate links. If you click one and make a booking or purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This never changes the price you pay, and it does not influence our recommendations — we only suggest products and services we would consider using ourselves. Where a page contains affiliate links, this is disclosed on that page.

Accuracy and availability

We work to keep the site accurate and up to date, but we make no promises that the content is complete, current or error-free, or that the site will always be available. Content may be changed or removed at any time without notice.

Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy you have under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), including the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

To the extent that the site is supplied as a service, our liability for a failure to comply with a consumer guarantee that cannot be excluded is limited, where the law permits, to re-supplying the relevant information or paying the cost of having it re-supplied.

Limitation of liability

Subject to the section above on your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, and to the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage — including loss arising from reliance on the content, from third-party products or services accessed through affiliate or other links, or from your use of or inability to use the site.

External links

The site links to third-party websites, including merchants and affiliate partners. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, products, services or privacy practices. Links are provided for convenience and are not an endorsement.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the content on this site — text, layout, graphics and original photography — is owned by us or our operator and is protected by copyright. You may read and share links to our pages, but you must not republish or reproduce substantial parts of the content without our permission.

Privacy

Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "last updated" date above shows when they were last revised. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Australia and the state in which our operator is based. You agree to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that state.
