Photo credits

Who took the photos on BokenJapan, under which licence, and where to find the original.

How credits work here

Our cards stay clean: a card never carries a credit line, and every photo links to the place it shows. Where a photo’s licence asks for attribution (for example Creative Commons BY or BY-SA), the author, licence and source are listed on this page and on the prefecture’s own credit page below.
