QR codes and guide links

Opening printed links and resolving unavailable destinations.

Current guides have three QR codes in one row: Directions, Official site, and Official tickets or Visitor information where no ticket purchase is offered. The labels beneath each code identify its purpose. Equivalent links are on the destination web page; older printed editions retain their original layout and working QR routes.

The printed QR codes open the destination’s official website, official visitor/ticket information or directions. Scanning and opening a web link requires an internet connection.

If scanning fails, improve the lighting, flatten the paper and move the camera until the complete code is visible. If the paper code is damaged, use the equivalent links on your destination’s guide page, reached through the Tokyo guide collection.

If a link cannot open, check your connection and try your browser. Destinations and external services can change; check current information with the operator. Older guides keep their links. If a destination’s availability changes, the link may open a page explaining the change.

Printed QR links do not create an individual travel profile or require optional analytics consent. External sites apply their own privacy policies.
