The moderating team would like to notify of the rule and policy changes that can be reviewed in a sidebar or on [our wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/JapanTravel/wiki/rules/).
Most of the rule changes are somewhat cosmetic and are an attempt at better conveying our moderation policies rather than constituting any significant shift.
One significant shift is that **all posts will be pre-moderated**, so please **don’t try to hammer posts** past the filters. Unless your post has not been released within reasonable time frame (usually less than 8-12 hours) or you haven’t received removal message within that period (with one of the reasons corresponding to subreddit’s rules), please refrain from filling our ModMail with questions “why my post has been removed”.
Please note that any shopping related questions that are not within frame of weekly discussion thread, or specific discussion/news threads for opening attractions will be either re-directed to /r/JapanTravelTips or other more appropriate channels.
On the other hand, we will re-direct any fully fleshed itineraries from /r/JapanTravelTips to this sub.
We also do encourage you to post about new events happening in Japan (openings of exhibitions, museums) or the news relating to existing attractions (temporary closures, developments) or travel-related news (new passes or deals for foreign tourists).
Please note that we generally like to keep news-related discussions (eg. on subjects such as opening of teamLab Borderless, extensions of Ghibli Park) to one thread (which would be either the first post or the post that is most informative from the submitted ones).
Enjoy your weekend (and your trips to Japan).
