Affiliate Disclosure

If you are planning a Kobe beef tasting tour, a steakhouse dinner, or a visit to a sake brewery or cattle farm, you will find booking links throughout this site. Those links matter, so here is a plain account of how they work, how the site is funded, and where our independence begins and ends.

How kobebeeftour.com makes money

kobebeeftour.com is free to read, with no subscription, paywall or hidden charge. When you follow a link from one of our pages, such as our tour comparisons, and book an experience on GetYourGuide, we may receive a commission from the platform. This costs you nothing: the price you pay is exactly the same as if you had gone to GetYourGuide directly. The commission comes out of the platform's side of the transaction, never out of your pocket.

It is worth being equally clear about what we are not. We do not sell tours, we do not take payments, and we are not an agent for any operator or platform. Your contract is with the booking platform, not with us.

Who handles what when you book

Every experience featured on this site is operated by a tour operator and sold through GetYourGuide. Each has a distinct role. The operator guides the tasting, runs the brewery visit or farm tour, and delivers the experience itself. GetYourGuide processes your payment, holds your booking, and manages any changes, cancellations or refunds. Between them, they also set the price, what is included, and the cancellation terms. If you have a question before or after booking, those are the parties who can answer it.

What a commission does not buy

No operator or platform can pay to appear on this site, to be ranked higher, to receive a better rating, or to be described in flattering terms. Placement in our comparisons, the scores we report, and the wording of our reviews are not for sale at any price. Our job is to help you judge which Kobe beef experience deserves your money, and that only works if the recommendation cannot be purchased.

Where our ratings come from

The ratings and review counts shown alongside tours are taken directly from each GetYourGuide listing. We quote them as they appear and do not edit, round, or adjust them in any way.

Where our prices come from

Prices are likewise read from the listings and checked regularly; the comparisons on this site were last checked on 3 November 2026. Prices can change, so the figure shown at checkout on GetYourGuide is always the one that counts.
