How to submit a link

2. Go to the directory.

Please submit the following link information:

• Category: choose the appropriate section from the dropdown menu.
• URL: actual URL to your resource, no redirections or commission links.
• Title: as short as possible, your actual site title, no description or marketing text.
• Website description: short, descriptive, no marketing hype or self-promotion, no superlatives, just the facts.

Rules of Submission

• The Japan Directory exclusively lists online resources related to Japan. Please do not submit websites that are not related to Japan.

What exactly is a Japan-related website? A site mainly dealing with Japan, Japanese culture, language, history, etc. The mere fact that a website could be of interest to Japanese or your intention to promote a product on the Japanese market does not qualify your website for inclusion.

• Websites with pornographic, hateful or profane content are categorically excluded.

  Websites

  • displaying explicit adult or obscene content (such as "hentai")
  • offering illegal services under international, national or local law (such as distribution of pirated software, etc.)
  • featuring racist or profane content
  • that are apparently "under construction"
  will not be approved!
• We reserve the exclusive right to be sole arbiter as to which content qualifies for inclusion.

Please refer to our Terms of Service for more detailed information.

Other issues:

• Do not capitalise entire words or use HTML tags.
• We do not accept web sites hosted with specific free web hosting companies due to pop-up advertising and short lifespan of such websites.
• Make sure your page is not "under construction" or displays broken images or links.

In case you encounter any problems, please contact us.
