The winter of 2025 will also be marked by travel campaigns (measures to stimulate travel demand) conducted independently by local governments across the country.
There are various types of support programs, such as 3,000 yen off per person for lodging, electronic coupons that can be used at restaurants and souvenir stores, and discounts at tourist facilities and hands-on activities, depending on the region. If you are going to go to the trouble of visiting Japan, here is a list of “travel support” programs that are definitely worth taking advantage of.
In addition, by using the “Round Trip Pass” sold by railroad, bus, and road companies in combination, visitors can enjoy unlimited rides on local transportation, and may also receive discounts when presenting the pass at sponsor stores.
Please note that the application method differs depending on the municipality or company, such as through the official campaign website or through OTAs (Rakuten Travel, Jalan, Asobuyu, and other reservation sites). Also, please note that once the budget limit is reached, sales may end even during the campaign period, so be sure to check back as soon as possible!
