Articles on this site are written and fact-checked by our editorial team in Tokyo. We publish under a team name rather than individual bylines. Every article goes through research from primary sources and a separate fact-check before it is published.
What the team covers
Japan’s nightlife law, safety for visitors, and the history of Tokyo after dark. See About for what we write and what we do not.
How we check our work
Our standards for sources, fact-checking, disclosure and corrections are set out in the editorial policy. Articles show when their key facts were last checked.
