Hokkaido Festivals is an independent travel guide that helps international visitors decide which festivals in Hokkaido are worth traveling for. To keep this site running and free to read, this site may contain affiliate links and may display advertising.
What this means
Some links on this site — particularly those pointing to hotels, accommodations, transportation, or travel-related services — are affiliate links. If you click one of these links and complete a booking or purchase, we may receive a small commission from the partner.
Using our affiliate links does not add any extra charge from us. Prices and availability are set by the partner site.
Our editorial policy
Affiliate relationships do not influence which festivals we cover, how we describe them, or what we recommend. We choose festivals based on cultural significance, traveler interest, and what we believe is useful for someone planning a trip to Hokkaido — not based on whether a partner pays a commission.
If a festival has no affiliate-eligible links nearby, we still cover it the same way.
Advertising
This site may also display third-party advertising. If advertising is displayed on this site, we aim to keep it separate from editorial content.
