Access & independence:

Rigovar has no ads, sponsored recommendations or affiliate detours disguised as travel advice. Some articles are available free of charge, while others require paid access.

Paid articles help cover the less poetic parts of writing about Japan: research, hosting, licenses, editorial tools and the considerable time needed to check whether useful advice is actually useful. Free and paid articles follow the same editorial principles. Payment changes access, not honesty.

Authentic Japanese items are also warmly appreciated as a personal gesture. Please email cata@rigovar.com before sending anything. Thank you for helping Rigovar remain useful, honest and blissfully free of casino-energy advertising.
