Terms of service

Last updated: May 8, 2026

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern the use of BestPlace (the "Service") and define the rights and obligations between users and the operator. Please read these Terms carefully before using the Service.

Article 1 (Scope)

These Terms apply to all matters related to the provision of the Service. By using the Service, the user is deemed to have agreed to these Terms.

Article 2 (Account)

The Service uses email-based Magic Link authentication to create accounts. Users are responsible for safeguarding their account information. Transferring or lending the account to a third party is prohibited.

Article 3 (Pricing & tickets)

Upon registration, the Service provides one free trial search. Further searches require a subscription plan or purchase of additional tickets.

Tickets are valid for 1 year from the most recent activity (search consumption or purchase). Each consumption or new purchase within this period automatically extends the expiration of all held tickets to one year from that activity date.

Even after a subscription is canceled, held tickets remain usable under the same activity-extension rule.

Article 4 (Nature of provided data)

The Service is limited to the organization and display of public data (from government agencies, OpenStreetMap, MLIT Real Estate Information Library, etc.). It does not score, rate, or recommend areas in any way.

We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or recency of provided data. Please always verify primary sources before making important decisions (real estate transactions, relocation, etc.).

Article 5 (Prohibited acts)

Users must not engage in any of the following while using the Service:

  • Acts that violate laws, regulations, or public order and morals

  • Reselling or redistributing data from the Service
  • Harassing, defaming, or facilitating discriminatory treatment of other users or third parties
  • Acts that interfere with the operation of the Service

Article 6 (Disclaimer)

The operator bears no responsibility for any decisions or actions taken by users based on data provided by the Service. The Service may also become temporarily unavailable due to outages or changes in external APIs, data inaccuracies, or similar causes.

Article 7 (Account deletion)

Users may delete their account at any time from the "Settings" page in My Page. Upon deletion, all account information, search history, and remaining tickets are permanently deleted and cannot be restored.

The operator may amend these Terms as necessary. Amended Terms become effective when posted on the Service.
