TOKYO 23

Terms of Use

1. Purpose

These terms set out the conditions and procedures for using the information service provided by TOKYO 23 ("this site"), and the rights and obligations of users and the operator.

2. Nature of the service

This site is a free information service covering places in Tokyo's 23 wards and local customs. It handles no transactions of any kind — no bookings, no sales, no payment processing. There is no partnership, commission or other contractual relationship between the operator and any venue featured here.

3. Accuracy and disclaimer

  1. Names, addresses, opening hours, closing days, prices and menus are reference information as at the time of writing. No warranty is given as to accuracy, currency or completeness.
  2. Entries without a "Verified" mark have not been individually checked; for these the address is given to ward level rather than a street number.
  3. The customs and rules presented as local knowledge are compiled from Japanese-language sources, but practice differs from shop to shop and changes over time. On the ground, follow the venue's own signage and its staff.
  4. Photographs are CC-licensed or public-domain images from Wikimedia Commons, each marked as either a photograph of the place itself or a reference photograph of the area or theme.
  5. The operator accepts no liability for loss arising from action taken in reliance on information on this site.

4. Copyright

  1. Rights in the text, editorial structure, design and code of this site belong to the operator.
  2. Copyright in spot photographs rests with the individual photographers; they are used under the terms of their CC licences, with photographer, licence and a link to the original shown for each.
  3. Beyond private, non-commercial viewing and fair quotation, content may not be copied, distributed, transmitted or adapted without the operator's prior consent.
  4. Trade names, logos and other third-party marks remain with their respective owners.

5. External links

This site links to external sites including Google Maps and venues' own pages. The operator is not responsible for their content or operation.

6. Prohibited conduct

  • Bulk extraction by automated means (scraping), or placing excessive load on the server
  • Unauthorised reproduction, redistribution or commercial use of content
  • Repeatedly submitting false reports so as to obstruct operation
  • Acting so as to cause nuisance to featured venues or their customers
  • Any other conduct contrary to law

7. Correction and removal

If you are connected with a featured venue, or a third party seeking correction or removal, please write via the contact page. We will act promptly once the matter is confirmed.

8. Changes to and suspension of the service

The operator may change or suspend the service without prior notice and accepts no liability for loss arising from doing so.

9. Amendment of these terms

These terms may be amended as required. Amended terms take effect when posted on this page.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the law of Japan.
