🇬🇧 Replying to requests from wonderful people who saw the last post / stories, here some more info's about the “Go to Travel” campaign in Japan, after all the government campaign is aimed at all of us residents and if you enjoy travel, this can be a great time.. beginning of koyo 🍁 (autumn), discounts of UP TO 50% (35% related to accommodation / flights + 15% in coupons). It's a great chance to discover Japan from Hokkaido to Okinawa! 😍 And finally, after 2 months, TOKYO residents are also included.. yes, we have joined the other 46 provinces! 🤙
As Japan is still closed to big part of the world, the campaign will be valid until January 31, 2021 only for residents. The aim of the campaign is to boost the economy through domestic tourism under hygiene & safety procedures!
Let's go to the point, remembering that the rules may eventually change later, ok?
DISCOUNTS: for daily trips, the maximum discount limit is ¥ 10,000 per day / person. For overnight trips (most of the cases), the limit discount is ¥ 20,000 per night / person.
To earn the discounts for both hotels and domestic flights (main expenses) it is highly recommended to make RESERVATIONS and purchase PACKAGES with registered companies and travel agencies (such as major ones like JTB, HIS, Rakuten etc), or directly on the official website Go to Travel (in Japanese only) and it seems Booking is also on the list.
COUPONS: coupons issued by the agencies are for use at the destination, within the Go to Eat & Go Shopping campaigns. Remembering that it is always good to verify what businesses are in the campaign (restaurants, omiage stores, souvenirs etc.) that are registered! Coupons are non-refundable and you cannot receive change when paying with them. Coupons are distributed in physical or electronic format and you receive them through travel agencies or at the reserved hotel.
