How we build these tools
- Every rule, number and deadline is checked against the official Japanese source (government agencies such as the National Tax Agency, Japan Customs and the Immigration Services Agency, city and prefecture offices, rail companies and delivery companies), and each tool page lists its sources.
- Each tool is tested with real cases in a browser on phone and desktop sizes before it goes live, and re-tested whenever the page changes.
- What you type stays in your browser. Some tools remember your choices on your device only; nothing is sent to us.
