Creators from United States: hosted trips in Japan
US-based travel creators with 150,000 or more followers on their primary channel can apply for a hosted trip in Japan. We provide the hotel, transfers and activities; flights and insurance are yours. The FTC's Endorsement Guides require a clear disclosure of the hosted trip, such as #ad, that viewers see without clicking or scrolling.
What do audiences in United States engage with?
US audiences tend to engage with food, Tokyo neighbourhoods, anime and pop-culture spots, and practical itineraries that combine Tokyo, Kyoto and a Fuji day.
How do creators from United States disclose a hosted trip?
For US audiences, the FTC Endorsement Guides treat a hosted trip as a material connection that must be disclosed clearly and conspicuously — in the video itself as well as the caption, and not only behind "more". Suggested wording is along the lines of "#ad — hosted by Explera". Your agreement sets the exact wording.
The exact wording for your collaboration is written into your agreement. See deliverables and disclosure.
How do I get to Japan from United States?
Many US cities have nonstop flights to Tokyo, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago and New York. Flying time is roughly 11 to 12 hours from the West Coast and around 14 hours from the East Coast. Routes change — check current schedules. Explera does not provide flights.
Do creators from United States need a visa for Japan?
US citizens have been able to visit Japan visa-free for short stays. Check that your trip's purpose fits the conditions of that status. Entry rules change, so check the official Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan pages before booking. Explera does not arrange visas and cannot advise on immigration. Official source.
Which language should I post in?
English. Some creators also publish in Spanish; disclose in the language of each post.
